Answer:

Horizontal lines that represent different climate zones are called latitude.

Explanation:

Latitude is the distance that exists between a point on the Earth's surface to the equator, counted by the degrees of its meridian. That is, it is the distance, measured in degrees, that exists between any parallel and the line of the Equator. The latitude of a point is measured to the North or South of the zero parallel and its value can vary between 0 ° from the equator to 90 ° N from the North pole or 90 ° from the South pole.

Climate is related to latitude because it sets the amount of solar energy that a given region or place receives. Places located at high latitudes (far from the Ecuador) receive less sunlight than places located at low latitudes (near the Equator). Thus, cities distant from the equator and close to the poles have a cold climate, while at low altitudes there are high temperatures and a hot or tropical climate.

What is the difference between a mixture and a compound? (need an easy two sentence answer (able to explain it to a 8 your old).

lina2011 [118]

A mixture is made from two or more substances that are chemically unlike and are not chemically joined. A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements chemically react with each other to ... substances because no new substance is formed, therefore they do not have any fixed properties.

How are protists different from plants

kotegsom [21]

Answer/ explanation :

Protist can be multicellular or unicellular organisms

Plants are all multicellular and also exhibit cellular differentiation.

Protist can be autotroph, heterotrophic or decomposer

Plants are only autotrophs because they manufacture their own food through photosynthesis

Protists are microscopic, more diverse and abundant in nature

Plants are big and complex in nature

Nuclear DNA strands in plants are of higher complexity than those of protist

Plants require oxygen for cellular respiration process unlike protist which can be aerobic and some other species facultative anaerobic

Plants only can reproduce asexually through bulbs and tubers as in yam, potatoes while protists reproduce either sexually through meiosis or asexually through simple cell division.

List four greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. For each gas, describe its prevalence in the atmosphere, its natural sources, its

lakkis [162]

Answer: Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide and Fuorinated Gases

Explanation:Carbon dioxide (CO2): Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere through burning fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil), solid waste, trees and other biological materials, and also as a result of certain chemical reactions (e.g., manufacture of cement). Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere (or "sequestered") when it is absorbed by plants as part of the biological carbon cycle.

Methane (CH4): Methane is emitted during the production and transport of coal, natural gas, and oil. Methane emissions also result from livestock and other agricultural practices and by the decay of organic waste in municipal solid waste landfills.

Nitrous oxide (N2O): Nitrous oxide is emitted during agricultural and industrial activities, combustion of fossil fuels and solid waste, as well as during treatment of wastewater.

Fluorinated gases: Hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, and nitrogen trifluoride are synthetic, powerful greenhouse gases that are emitted from a variety of industrial processes. Fluorinated gases are sometimes used as substitutes for stratospheric ozone-depleting substances (e.g., chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and halons). These gases are typically emitted in smaller quantities, but because they are potent greenhouse gases, they are sometimes referred to as High Global Warming Potential gases ("High GWP gases").

Enthalpy change depends on the rate at which a substance is heated or cooled true or false

Dahasolnce [82]

Enthalpy is a thermodynamic quantity that describes the heat content of a system, that can not be measured directly. That's why we measure change in enthaply, measured in the units joules. The statement that enthalpy change depends on the rate at which a substance is heated or cooled is false. Enthalpy change depends only on the following factors:
-physical state of reactants and products
- quantity of reactants
- allotropic modifications
- temperature and pressure
