The continents that lie mostly east of the prime meridian are Asia, Australia, and Africa.

Asia and Australia are continents that are situated completely to the east of the prime meridian. Africa is divided, as the prime meridian cuts through it. Still we can say that Africa is a continent that is situated mostly on the east of the prime meridian, considering the fact that the prime meridian cuts only through the western part of the continent, so only small portion of it is on the west of the prime meridian.

Asia is also a continent that is almost totally on the Northern Hemisphere. Australia is a continent that lies totally on the Southern Hemisphere. Africa, again, is divided, as the equator runs through the middle part of it, thus making it a continent on both the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.

Describe<br> 2. What is the structure of Earth's atmosphere?

sergejj [24]

The atmosphere consists of 4 layers: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere. This is the layer where we live and where weather happens. Temperature in this layer generally decreases with height. The boundary between the stratosphere and the troposphere is called the tropopause. Above the tropopause lies the stratosphere. In this layer the temperature increases with height. This is because the stratosphere houses the ozone layer. The ozone layer is warm because it absorbs ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. The mesosphere is the layer above the stratosphere.This layer also contains ratios of nitrogen and oxygen similar to the troposphere, except the concentrations are 1000 times less and there is little water vapor there, so the air is too thin for weather to occur. The thermosphere is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere. In this layer the temperature increases with height because it is being directly heated by the sun.

I got this info from North Carolina Climate Office.

What does the diagram show about earths interior?

slega [8]

The answer is C because the earth gets hotter as you go deeper into it therefore the continental crust which is the outside would be the coolest. The inner core is the hottest then the outer core then the mantle and then the crust would be the coolest.

sveta [45]

Answer:

31. C. Law of Effect

32. D. Innate satisfying stimuli

33. A. Modeling

Explanation:

BF Skinner elaborated the Law of Effect of Throndike by introducing reinforcement. Skinner proposed that behavior that is reinforced is more likely to be repeated and without reinforcement, it would eventually die out.

Primary reinforcers are unconditioned, meaning they are biologically important and learning is not necessary. Examples would be eating, sleeping, sex and the like.

The idea of modelling was introduced by Bandura. As children are surrounded by different individuals, exposed to TV characters and the like, they often observe and imitate the behavior of these "models". At first children are more likely to imitate those who are like them, and then evenutally associate the behavior to rewards and consequences. If the behavior they imitated lead to rewards, they would most likely continue the imitated behavior.
