The Earth experiences an ice age when the overall climate becomes much cooler. During an ice age, there are several periods of g

laciation, which are periods when glaciers and ice sheets cover more of the Earth's surface. Ice reflects more sunlight back into outer space than does bare or vegetated ground. Because ice sheets and glaciers are more reflective, they absorb less sunlight and therefore release _______ heat. This causes the Earth's climate to become _______ during periods of glaciation.

The given blank can be filled with less and even cooler.

A long duration of decline in the temperature of the surface of the Earth and atmosphere, leading to the expansion or existence of the polar and continental ice sheets and alpine glaciers is known as an ice age.  

During an ice age, there are many periods of glaciation that are periods when ice sheets and glaciers cover the majority of the Earth's surface.  

The ice reflects more sunlight back into outer space than does the vegetated or bare ground. As the glaciers and ice sheets are more reflective, they captivate less sunlight and thus discharge less heat. This makes the climate of the Earth to become even cooler during the times of glaciation.

How does the type of medium affect a sound wave? Give an Example
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Sound waves need to travel through a medium such as solids, liquids and gases. The sound waves move through each of these mediums by vibrating the molecules in the matter. The molecules in solids are packed very tightly. Liquids are not packed as tightly.Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Temperature also affects the speed of sound.Sound waves in air (and any fluid medium) are longitudinal waves because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves. A vibrating string can create longitudinal waves as depicted in the animation below.

A metal ion Mⁿ⁺ has a single electron. The highest energy line in its emission spectrum occurs at a frequency of 2.961 x 10¹⁶ Hz
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

z≅3

Atomic number is 3, So ion is Lithium ion (Li^+)

Explanation:

First of all

v=f*λ

In our case v=c

c=f*λ

λ=c/f

where:

c is the speed of light

f is the frequency

\lambda=\frac{3*10^8}{2.961*10^{16}}\\ \lambda=1.01317*10^{-8} m

Using Rydberg's Formula:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R*z^2*(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2})

Where:

R is Rydberg constant=1.097*10^7

z is atomic Number

For highest Energy:

n_1=1

n_2=∞

\frac{1}{1.01317*10^{-8}}=1.097*10^{7}*z^2*(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{\inf})\\z^2=8.99\\z=2.99

z≅3

Atomic number is 3, So ion is Lithium ion (Li^+)

Which best describes how a fetus exchanges gases while in the womb?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

C. Gas exchange occurs through the placenta.

Explanation:

The fetus is a developing baby in the womb or uterus. The fetus is incapable of performing certain life processes itself and hence, depends on the mother to do them. One of these processes is GAS EXCHANGE. Gas exchange occurs in the fetus via a structure called PLACENTA.

Placenta is a structure that forms in the uterus during pregnancy. It helps the developing fetus supply oxygen and nutrients from the mother and also remove wastes from the fetus back to the mother. The oxygen is taken into the fetus via the PLACENTA while the carbon dioxide (waste product of respiration) is removed via the PLACENTA. Hence, Gas exchange occurs through the placenta.
