Answer:

  • Nebula
  • Dust and stellar gases
  • Cold gas globules
  • ProtoStar
  • Brown dwarf
  • Main sequence
  • White Dwarf
  • Supernova
  • Black holes

Explanation:

    The birth of a star occurs in nebulae, which are huge clouds of gas composed of helium and hydrogen.

    When the temperature is high enough, this huge ball of gas begins to emit light and hydrogen begins to burn. This process is called nuclear fusion and releases a lot of energy. This sequence of phenomena characterizes the early life of a star.

    During nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms fuse, giving rise to helium. The burning of helium gives rise to lithium and so on, each time giving rise to heavier elements.

    As the fuel is consumed, the temperature increases and the star expands. At this stage she is called the Red Giant. After this stage, the gravitational force begins to prevail and the star begins to shrink. Inside the stars, the temperature is too high. The sun's core, for example, reaches 15 million degrees Celsius.

    How long a star will live will depend on its mass. The larger the mass, the more heat and light it will release. Your death happens when you have already burned all the fuel. Because this burning gives rise to heavier elements, it ends only when it starts producing iron, which is an energy-consuming process. From then on, it cools and shrinks dramatically, turning completely to iron.

    With this contraction, the particles that were on the star's surface go at very high speeds toward the center when they collide with the nucleus and are ejected into space, originating elements heavier than iron. The gases that are released into space give rise to a new nebula, from which new stars may emerge.

    If the mass of the star is considered small, about one third of the sun, it will become a neutron star. If the mass is larger, it will turn into a black hole.

Nuclear proliferation is best described as __________. A. the growth of world nuclear stockpiles B. the destructive capabilities
Nata [24]

The "spread of nuclear weapons and technology" is known as Nuclear Proliferation.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

Nuclear proliferation is described as the spread of weapons , fissionable material, and nations that are not recognized as "Nuclear Weapon States" by the Treaty is known as the "Non-Proliferation Treaty or NPT" of Nuclear Weapons.

Proliferation is opposed by many nations due to fear of arise in nuclear warfare with nuclear weapons. This leads to de-stabilization of international or regional relations, or infringe upon the national sovereignty of states.

What is the prime characteristic that geologists use to separate minerals into classes?
sladkih [1.3K]
A mineral is a naturally occurring,inorganic, crystalline substance that aggregate to form rocks. Geologists separate minerals into classes based on their chemical composition. The different classes of minerals include halides, oxides, phosphates and sillicates.  Rocks are usually classified based on the grouping and composition of minerals in rocks.

Read the following quote from The Nature Conservancy, “The 3 billion people who live in poverty around the world will be hardest
enyata [817]

Answer:

The poor people

Explanation:

The poor people always the ones that suffer the most when there are negative changes. They are not financially capable to avoid the problems that come upon them, and plus they are overly dependent on the nature for their survival. These people can not afford or do not have healthcare that is eligible, so if there is a pandemic they will be the first ones affected, and by far the most affected. They depend mostly on agriculture for their survival, and it is agriculture in more primitive manner, which is the one that suffers the most from the climate changes and the natural disasters. If the crops fail dramatically only one year, it will have huge effects, if that happens several years in a row, it can be one of the biggest, if not the biggest humanitarian crises in the world.
