Answe:

Os paralelos possuem medidas específicas, chamadas de latitudes, que constituem a distância, em graus, de um dado paralelo em relação à Linha do Equador. Essa, por sua vez, possui latitude 0º.

Os meridianos são as linhas imaginárias dispostas verticalmente sobre o globo terrestre, formando semicírculos, ou seja, curvas que representam a metade de um círculo. Como todos os meridianos possuem o mesmo tamanho, não há diferenças técnicas entre um e outro, o que fez com que o meridiano principal fosse escolhido por meio de uma convenção realizada em Washington D.C. no final do século XIX. Nessa convenção, escolheu-se que a linha imaginária que atravessa a cidade de Londres, capital da Inglaterra e centro econômico da época, seria o meridiano principal, chamado de Meridiano de Greenwich, que é também o marco zero na medição dos fusos horários.

20) What wavelength does the Sun emit most of its radiation at, and what is the name of that radiation region? vi'sible micromet
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Visible light range (between 400 and 800 nm).

Explanation:

The Sun emits a large range of electromagnetic waves, from gamma rays (higher frequencies) to radio waves (lower frequencies), through X-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves. The peak of the Sun's energy output is actually in the visible light range (between 400 and 800 nm).

In the graph I annexed, you can see a simplified representation of the energy emissions of the Sun versus the wavelengths of those emissions. The y-axis shows the amount of energy emitted at a given wavelength and the x-axis represents different wavelengths of EM radiation. In this graph is observable than the major emission of radiation emitted by the Sun is in the visible range.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Which of the following is NOT a sign of globalization?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
<span>Cell phones is, IPod is, Blue Jeans is. Of course, sandals is not a sign of globalisation. As the proverb goes, "Necessity is the mother of invention." In all continents, there has always been a need to have something on the foot. When the need for something becomes imperative, you are forced to find ways of getting or achieving it, but then the need for a sandals doesn't creates a kind of interaction with people, states, or countries on cultural, religious, political, or ideologically grounds. Sandals doesn't make the human race one big family on any grounds, but then take Cell phone. Cell phones and iPods have in no small way broken the obstacles and challenges the world faces. I can communicate with Admin in secs even though he lives thousands of miles away. On the other hand, a blue Jeans is, too, because many people in different countries have embraced a foreign culture, or mode of dressing of europeans and are sharing a similar culture.</span>
