Where was the eroded material from the Shield deposited and what did this material become?

What effect does the Continental Divide have on the direction of river flow in the United States?

patriot [66]

The Continental Divide divides the region into two large drainage areas. To the east of the Divide, waters, flow to the Arctic Ocean, to the Hudson Bay, or to the Atlantic oceans through the Mississippi River system. To the West, they flow into the Pacific Ocean. Hope this helps. ;)

How is amplified warming different from natural warming

sladkih [1.3K]

The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Normal warming is mostly caused by natural gases.

Suppose that two stars in a binary star system are separated by a distance of 80 million kilometers and are located at a distanc

jonny [76]

Answer: 1) Angular separation equals 0.0000031 degrees

2) Angular separation in arc -seconds equals 0.011156"

Explanation:

For 2 stars separated by a distance 'S' and at a distance 'D' from the earth the angular separation in radians is given

$\theta _{rad}=\frac{S}{D}$

Applying values we get

$\theta _{rad}=\frac{80\times 10^{6}}{150\times 9.46\times 10^{12}}\\\\\therefore \theta _{rad}=\frac{1}{18487500}radians$

Now we know that 'π' radians equals 180 degrees thus the above value in degrees shall be equal to

$\therefore \theta _{degrees}=\frac{1}{18487500\times \pi }\times 180^{o}=0.0000031^{o}$

2)

The angular separation in arc- seconds is given by

$\theta ''=\theta ^{o}\times 3600\\\\\theta'' = 0.0000031\times 3600=0.011156"$

Zinaida [17]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We are looking for something that takes a long time to heat up due to a certain property, therefore affecting the weather.

FIRST BLANK CHOICE

The temperature of the land is a result, of the weather, not a cause, so this is not the correct option.

The temperature of the water does not really affect the weather. If the water in your city is cold instead of hot that will not cause the weather to be much different.

However, air is what mainly causes the weather. Air pressure fluctuations can cause certain storms and air is the driving factor of weather. Therefore, the first answer is air.

SECOND BLANK CHOICE

One of the options is specific heat. The actual fill in the blank is that is is harder for the air to heat up because of _______. Putting heat in there makes no sense. It's harder for the air to heat up because of specific heat? This is not the right choice.

The volume of the air is how much space it takes up, and air is basically everywhere, so this is not the correct choice.

The last option is density, or how thick the air is, usually due to how much water there is. This makes sense because if it is very thick you have to have more heat to get through all of the density. It would take longer to warm up a car filled with 20 people than with one person. Therefore, the second option is density.

Have a wonderful day! :D
