Answer: D. Sea level drops when water is stored in expanding ice sheets and continental glaciers.

Explanation:

One of the most important and influential factors in the change in sea level is the change in the amount of ice that covers the Earth. This is because much of the planet's fresh water is stored in glaciers and ice sheets.

Then, the more water exists in solid state in glaciers and ice sheets, the lower the sea level. However, today the opposite is happening, due to the accelerated climate change, which has caused the melting of glaciers and sea level rise.

What are some of the major landforma found in mexico

Aleksandr [31]

One landform found in Mexico is volcanoes, also mesas and buttes and canyons like the Canon del Cobre in I believe the province of Durango up on the interior plateau so it definitely has a variety of landforms which reflect that it is on the circum-pacific ring of fire and also is partly quite arid.

The radius of the cone id 1.75 inches an the height id 3.5 inches. If the diameter of the bubble gum ball is 0.5 inches what is

Olegator [25]

Answer: $11.15 in^{3}$

Explanation:

We need to know the volume of the cone that can be filled with bubble gum ball, but firstly we need to calculate the volume of the cone $V_{C}$ and the volume of the buble gum ball (a sphere) $V_{B}$ :

Volume of the cone:

$V_{C}=\frac{\pi R^{2}h}{3}$ (1)

Where:

$R=1.75 in$ is the radius of the cone

$h=3.5 in$ is the height of the cone

$V_{C}=\frac{\pi (1.75 in)^{2}3.5 in}{3}$ (2)

$V_{C}=11.22 in^{3}$ (3) This is the volume of the cone

Volume of the gum ball:

$V_{B}=\frac{4\pi r^{3}}{3}$ (4)

Where:

$r=\frac{0.5 in}{2}=0.25 in$ is the radius of the sphere (half the diameter)

$V_{B}=\frac{4\pi (0.25 in)^{3}}{3}$ (5)

$V_{B}=0.065 in^{3}$ (6) This is the volume of the gum ball

Know we are able to find the closest approximation of the volume of the cone that can be filled with bubble gum ball, by calculating the difference or substracting (6) from (3):

$V_{C}-V_{B}=11.22 in^{3}-0.065 in^{3}$ (7)

Finally:

$V_{C}-V_{B}=11.15 in^{3}$ (8)

15) What effect does the seasonal movement of the ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone) have on precipitation in India?

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

As we know that wind flows from high pressure to low pressure.where the pressure is high then velocity of wind will be less and where pressure is low then velocity will be high.

In ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone) where winds of two hemisphere are collides and this collision result in the rain in the India.

We know that ITCZ always follows the motion of sun that is why it varies seasonally.ITCZ is responsible for dry and wet season .
