Geography
1 answer:
arsen [322]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The correct answer is A - They allow us to see distant objects as they were long in the past.

Explanation:

A telescope is an optical instrument. It helps in magnifying distant objects usually stars and planetary bodies through the use of various lenses and mirrors. A time machine is a hypothetical device that transports an object/matter between different time frames.

When we view objects with a telescope, what we are seeing through the lenses have already occurred, especially when viewing distant objects. This is because of light. Light travels.

For example, if you are looking at the sun directly, you are seeing the sun as it was about 8mins 20secs ago. Now imagine viewing distant objects, you are actually looking at the past.

Which process produces rising air due to unequal heating of Earth’s surface?
seraphim [82]
The answer for the first question is localized convective lifting. Air in the atmosphere rises when there is unequal heating of the Earth's surface. This is due to its buoyancy. Colder air then sinks, as the hotter air replaces it. 

The answer for the second question is freezing rain. Freezing rain is formed when snow passes through above freezing air atop a layer of below freezing air near the surface of the Earth.
