The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit (0.9 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere.4Most of the warming occurred in the past 35 years, with the five warmest years on record taking place since 2010. Not only was 2016 the warmest year on record, but eight of the 12 months that make up the year — from January through September, with the exception of June — were the warmest on record for those respective months. https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

Answer:

According to NASA, the planet has risen its temperature by 0.8 degrees Celcius (1.4 Fahrenheit).

Explanation:

Pollution is, in fact, one of the main factors the Earth's Climate is changing and getting warmer, We are currently sitting at 380 million carbon dioxide ppm emission, which is about 100 million more than the Highest historical Carbon dioxide emission. This type of pollutants that affect the atmosphere by trapping the radiation is one of the reasons the Earth is getting warmer, The current all-time highest CO2 emissions correlate to the rise of almost 1 degree we are experiencing today.

Even if 1 degree seems small a lot of natural processes will be affected dramatically, the ice caps will start melting exponentially, the glaciers ice layer would be smaller and with it, our water resources would reduce, the Coral Reefs will start dying at rapid rates. This and more earth processes would start with the rising of the world's temperature.

P and S waves from an earthquake travel at different speeds, and this difference helps locate the earthquake "epicenter" (where
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

(a) Since both P and S wave travels the same distance, so it can be written as:    Δx = V₁t₁ = V₂t₂,

Where, V₁- Speed of S wave

            V₂- Speed of P wave

            t₁- time taken by S wave

            t₂- time taken by P wave

Therefore, t₁ > t₂ (since, time taken by S wave is longer than P wave)

⇒ t₁ = t₂ + 1.5 min

⇒ t₁ = t₂ + 90 sec

⇒ V₁ (t₂ + 90 sec) = V₂ (t₂)

⇒ V₁t₂ + V₁ (90 sec) = V₂ (t₂)

⇒ V₂t₂ - V₁t₂ = V₁ (90 sec)

⇒ t₂ (V₂- V₁) = V₁ (90 sec)

⇒ t₂ = {V₁ (90 sec)} ÷ {(V₂- V₁)}

⇒ t₂ = {5.5 × (90 sec)} ÷ {(8.5 - 5.5)}

Therefore, t₂ = 165 sec

Since, Δx = V₁t₁ = V₂t₂

Now, Δx = V₂t₂ = (8.5 × 165 sec)

⇒ Δx = 1402 km

Therefore, Δx is approximately 1400 km (this means that the earthquake occurred at a distance of about 1400 km from the recorded seismic station)

(b) No, Only seismic station is not sufficient to detect the epicenter of an earthquake. Seismologists and geologists usually use the triangulation method in order to determine the exact location of the epicenter. This is possible by the use of three seismographs that are placed at three different locations nearby to that earthquake occurring position.

Why was fascism in Italy rooted in violence?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Fascism is a right-wing form of government in which most of the country's power is held by one ruler. Fascist governments are usually totalitarian and authoritarian one-party states.

Italian Fascism was rooted in Italian nationalism, national syndicalism, revolutionary nationalism and the desire to restore and expand Italian territories, which Italian Fascists deemed necessary for a nation to assert its superiority and strength and to avoid succumbing to decay.

he fascist movement came to Italy after the First World War desired a revolutionary dictatorship, which would transform Italy into a new civilization, using force when required. For large numbers of Italians, an oppressive fascist regime brought economic hardship and/or a loss of basic human rights.

How do I find the x value
inna [77]
Okay so you can find the angle by working out the angle in the top right corner of the backwards 'Z' shape. Because there's 180 degrees in a straight line, that top right angle is 180 - 132 = 48.

Now we know that the top right angle is 48, so the angle you're looking for is 48, because they're alternate angles.

That means 3x + 9 = 48. You can find x by rearranging.

3x + 9 = 48
3x = 48 - 9
3x = 39
x = 13.

x is equal to 13.
