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.

Answer:

 Sub-Saharan Africa is a lot like the half empty, half full glass. Although the region has many problems, it holds much hope for the future. On one hand, political and economic problems plague the region.

   The region's cities attract a high number of immigrants, increasing diversity as well as the ethnic conflict in the region. Population growth is putting a tremendous strain on the environment. Because of population growth, there are water shortages, unemployment, lack of housing, and inadequate services. On the other hand, there are still large areas of land that can be farmed to feed the population and provide crops for export.

   Governments are stabilizing, but government systems lack capacity, and representative government is increasing. Some government systems in the region are unstable. Many governments are unable to provide adequate services. Ethnic diversity and conflict continue to plague the region. On the other hand, most government systems are moving toward democratic, multiparty systems in which leaders are elected.

   Economic development is increasing, yet, there are many factors that describe the political situation that Sub-Saharan Africa is facing such as international debt, and weak government systems that hinder economic development. There are positives though. Foreign investment will aid the region's economic development, and globalization will play a role in the region's economic future. Technological advances will also expand employment opportunities. There are several methods dealing with water issues that affect the economics of the region. Water is moved from an area where it is abundant to an area experiencing a shortage, and desalinization is being implemented.

Social services are also improving. Nevertheless, there are a number of regional issues that must be addressed. Health issues in the region include malaria, schistosomiasis, and AIDS. Progress is being made, particularly in urban areas where clinics offer basic care. The status of women also varies throughout the region.

If a 100-year flood has recently occurred along a river, it is now less likely to experience a similar event in the near term.
Temka [501]

The statement is correct.

When a flood is giving a time-bonding term, such as the 100-year flood, in this statement, it means that it has been noticed that the floods from the particular river occur on approximately that much of a time span.

If there has been a flood recently, than it most probably means that there isn't going to be a flooding caused by that river for the foreseeable future.

Now, there's always exceptions, as the climate patters are changing constantly, and there's always surprises, but in general, in lot of regions of the world, there has been noticed a certain consistency in some natural occurrences.

Answer the following questions concerning the motion of surface winds in the Northern hemisphere on Earth due to the uneven heat
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

the motion of surface winds in the Northern hemisphere on Earth due to the uneven heating of the atmosphere and Coriolis force. Due to the Earth's rotation, surface winds have different speeds at different latitudes as follows:

Surface winds travel faster closer to the equator (0 degrees latitude).

Surface winds travel slower closer to the North pole (90 degrees latitude).
