Answer:
The amount of fuel used to heat and cool your home can be reduced by good insulation.
Answer:
Deep ocean exploration is all about investigating its geology i.e physical and chemical along with biological conditions on the ocean floor where sunlight cannot reach. There has been an interest in the deep ocean due to scientific communities and for industrial purpose. Exploration is carried by submarine and remotely operated vehicles at about 300m to 1000m. Analysis of ocean floor had found a huge concentration of mineral deposits such as manganese, copper, cobalt, gold, zinc etc.
The mining is carried out by using hydraulic pumping or bucket type excavator and are processed on ground industries. Deep-ocean mining has not been able to reach its full potential due to the high cost of operating and environmental damage.
True, A 'planar projection map' is helpful for sea navigation.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
A 'planar projection map' that shows the particulars of the globe in a flat surface projection. The pictures projected by the map are shown in rectangular-shaped. If any other map such as Cylindrical map is used then, the edges are not so perfect, they show distortion. With the help of all three coordinates, it shows a 3-D picture of the globe and its objects which can be considered almost as real as the actual object. They are also known as azimuthal projections and are mostly used in projecting polar regions.
The regions of light and unpredictable winds at about 30° No latitudes are called <u>trade winds</u>
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
Trade winds are the latitudes which cool and descend at 30 degree north and are areas with surface winds but these surface winds are light and unpredictable. These are the winds that blow towards the equator.
Trade winds blow at an average speed of about 5 to 6 meters per second and these winds are unpredictable. These winds are warm winds and therefore they pick up moisture and bring heavy rainfall.
Answer:
A prolonged drought with very high temperatures can affect the water levels of the water table underground.
Explanation:
The water that is located underground is generally safer when it comes to climate or weather conditions, at least in the shorter run. They are not immune though, as even though they are underground, they are not very deep, and also their levels depend on the outside conditions. Several climate or weather conditions can have an effect on the water table of the underground water, but the one that sticks out the most is a prolonged drought with high temperatures.
A prolonged period of drought will mean that there will be no precipitation for a long period of time. Without precipitation, there will be no new water coming in the undergroung water table. On the other hand, high temperatures will result in intense heating up of the ground, and some of the heat will be reaching the water table underground, so the evaporation will increase. With no water coming in and increased evaporation, the levels of water will drop.
