Answer:

mountain ridges creating natural divides

Explanation:

Natural boundaries acting as controls for water flow and makes them move into oceans are typically mountain ridges. They are geographically called divides.

Water generally flows from regions of high elevations to flat lands and plains.

Oceans the final basin where water from lands flows into. Ocean basins are located at very low elevation and through this potential head, gravity allows all land water to flow ocean-ward.

Mountains are sources of inland water bodies and they control how these rivers flows. Therefore, they act as natural divides that guides rivers into basins.

Water near the equator is warmer than water at the poles. Which sentence explains why?

shusha [124]

Hi there!

You will have already be known that the sun's rays are closest to the equatorial regions than the polar regions. So the stronger heat rays reach the equator first, heating it's water faster. Within the span of time when the rays reach the polar areas (poles), the sun rays become slanted, leading it into the ocean waters.

Also, the sharpness or intensity of the rays gets weakened, thereby heating the water of polar regions less.

Using this fact, we can say that the rays falling near the equator heats the water more than the rays heating the water at poles.

Hence, we can say that D) The sun heats earth and it ocean unevenly will be your answer.

Thank you !

From the top of a building 42 feet high, the angle of depression to a car stopped on the ground it is 27°. What is the distance

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

$82.43\ \text{feet}$

Explanation:

Angle of depression = $27^{\circ}$

b = Height of building = 42 feet

$\theta=90-27=63^{\circ}$

p = Distance from the car to the base of the building

From the trigonometric identities we get

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{p}{b}\\\Rightarrow p=b\tan\theta\\\Rightarrow p=42\tan63^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow p=82.43\ \text{feet}$

The distance from the car to the base of the building is $82.43\ \text{feet}$ .

Answer:

he Earth zips around the Sun at about 67,000 miles per hour, making a full revolution in about 365 days – one year on Earth. Mars is a little slower, and farther from the sun, so a full circuit takes 687 Earth days – or one Mars year.
