Earth’s rotation is slowing over time. Billions of years from now, it is expected that Earth will take 47 days to make one rotat

ion instead of the current 24 hours. How might this change the temperatures on Earth?

Answer: Due to a transfer of Earth's rotational momentum to the Moon's orbital momentum as tidal friction slows the Earth's rotation. That increase in the Moon's speed is causing it to slowly recede from Earth (about 4 cm per year), increasing its orbital period and the length of a month as well. In orbital mechanics, a gain in speed results in a higher orbit. The slowing rotation of the Earth results in a longer day as well as a longer month. Once the length of a day equals the length of a month, the tidal friction mechanism will cease. That's been projected to happen once the day and month both equal about 47 days, billions of years in the future. If the Earth and Moon still exist, the Moon's distance will have increased to about 135% of its current value.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

the order would be:

Carnivorous animal -> scavenger animal ---> autonomous living organism ---> decomposing organisms.

Explanation:

The lion would be the carnivore, the bird that eats the waste of dead meat would be the scavenger, the vegetable the autonomous, since it does not require an external energy source to live but synthesizes its own energy and finally the decomposers fulfill the function to decompose chemical compounds to give energy to the earth, which would be useful for the growth of other living organisms. This is how the chain meets the cycle of life.

Emergency medical care for internal bleeding​ includes:
MrMuchimi
The first thing to do when encountering a patient with internal bleeding is to get the person to a hospital. Internal bleeding can be fatal if they aren't stopped. If you're waiting for an ambulance,  lay the person down if they experience dizziness or light-headedness. If they pass out, lay them on their side so they won't choke in the event that they should vomit.

To administer the patient defibrillating an adult patient, the nurse should continue good contact among the paddles and the patient's skin to stop arcing, apply an appropriate conducting agent (not water) between the skin and the paddles, and ensure the defibrillator is in the nonsync mode. "Clear" should be called three times before discharging the paddles.
