Explanation:

<em>The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in Earth's atmosphere trap the Sun's heat.</em> Gases in the atmosphere such as CO2, water vapor, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and some artificial chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons absorb and re-radiate the sun's energy maintaining the Earth's temperature at around 33 degrees Celcius, this happens especially with infrared light that wants to go back to space. This infrared heat spreads back to the land and oceans. This absorption does not happen with visible light, the radiation at 400-800nm easily passes through the atmosphere.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting.

What is the link between migration and urbanisation... give examples and explain ​
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Migration, whether internal or international, has always been one of the forces driving the growth of urbanization and bringing opportunities and challenges to cities, migrants and governments. Increasingly, municipal authorities are becoming recognized as key actors in managing migration and have started including migration in their urban planning and implementation.  

For cities to better manage migration, data on migration and urbanization are essential. However, these data are not always available or – if available – not used or accessible at the urban level, nor disaggregated, comprehensive or comparable, particularly in low-income countries.

What is matter to the earth
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Matter is everything around you. Atoms and compounds are all made of very small parts of matter. Those atoms go on to build the things you see and touch every day. Matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space (it has volume). It is you and me. There are 7 states of matter are Solids, Liquids, Gases, Ionized Plasma, Quark-Gluon Plasma, Bose-Einstein Condensate and Fermionic Condensate. All of which makes up our Earth. Our seas, our deserts, our atmosphere even.

Earth is Matter.

Topography and Plate Tectonics Test

Answer:

The stream will flow fastest between 2 and 3.

Explanation:

On this map, we can see two basic elements, one being the contour lines, and the other being the color with which a stream is presented. The contour lines are giving us a good representation of the relief and where it is steeper and where it is less steep. Basically, where the contour lines are closer to each other, we have a steeper relief, and when the contour lines are further away, the relief is less steep.

The water moves under the influence of gravity, so downward. Where the steepness is the greatest, the gravity influences it the most, so it moves faster, while where the steepness is smaller, the gravity influences it less, so it moves slower. On this map, the contour lines are closest to each other between points 2 and 3, meaning it is the steepest part of the relief, and it is the place where the stream flows the fastest.
