Answer:
A. At the Arctic Circle, the sun’s rays travel through a thicker layer of atmosphere, reducing the amount of solar energy reaching the ground.
C. At the Arctic Circle, solar energy reaching the ground is spread over a smaller area, reducing the intensity of solar energy reaching the ground.
D. At the Arctic Circle, the daytime position of the sun in the sky is lower (closer to the horizon), reducing the intensity of solar energy reaching the ground.
Explanation:
- The arctic circle is the northernmost part of the world and is defined by the latitude of 66° 33' N the temperature of the warmest months in July and is below 10 ° C and thus has cool and cold summers.
- <u>Thus rays of the sun have to enter or travel through the thick layers of the atmosphere being at a height altitude and less sunlight is received at the poles and hence the small area gets insolation</u>.
- <u>Thus the day time position of the sun in lower latitudes of 40 to 60 degrees than it's in after noon time is more intense.</u>
Answer:
Global Climate change
Climate is the general weather conditions of a place over many years. Climate change is a significant variation of average weather conditions. i.e., conditions becoming warmer, wetter, or drier over several decades or more. It’s that longer-term trend that differentiates climate change from natural weather variability. Although climate change and global warming are often used interchangeably, global warming is the recent rise in the global average temperature near the earth’s surface is just one aspect of climate change.
The effects of global climate change on earth's climate are as follows:
1. Extreme weather condition
2. Air Pollution
3. Health risks
4. Rising seas
5. More acidic, warmer oceans
6. Imperiled global ecosystem
Explanation:
The effects of global climate change
World Economic Forum’s 2016 Global Risks Report, reported that the failure to mitigate and adapt to climate change will be “the most impactful risk” facing communities worldwide in the coming decade ahead even of weapons of mass destruction and water crises. Blame its cascading effects: As climate change transforms global ecosystems, it affects everything from the places we live to the water we drink to the air we breathe.
Using Pythagorean's Theorem of a^2+b^2=c^2, with a and b being two legs and c being the hypotenuse.
You can find that the leg(15) squared is 225. The hypotenuse(17) squared is 289.
289-225=64
The square root of 64 is 8
So the missing leg of the triangle has a length of 8 units.
