Geography
1 answer:
harina [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Around the world the most significant restriction on access to potable water is money. While access to raw water sources, clean or otherwise, is important, the purification process itself is expensive. Once water has been rendered potable, it is important that it be delivered without reintroducing contamination.

When was the Clydesdale horse domesticated
IRISSAK [1]

The first recorded use of the name Clydesdale in reference to the breed was in 1826 at the exhibition in Glasgow. Another theory of their origin, that of them descending from the Flemish horses brought to Scotland as early as the 15th century, was also promulgated in the late 18th century.

Tropical. In this hot and humid zone, the average temperatures are greater than 64°F (18°C) year-round and there is more than 59 inches of precipitation each year.

Dry. These climate zones are so dry because moisture is rapidly evaporated from the air and there is very little precipitation.

Temperate. In this zone, there are typically warm and humid summers with thunderstorms and mild winters.

Continental. These regions have warm to cool summers and very cold winters. In the winter, this zone can experience snowstorms, strong winds, and very cold temperatures—sometimes falling below -22°F (-30°C)!

Polar. In the polar climate zones, it’s extremely cold. Even in summer, the temperatures here never go higher than 50°F (10°C)!

Voyager I is now about 110 AU from Earth, continuing to record its environment as it approaches the limits of our Solar System.
Monica [59]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

(i) 1 Astronomical Unit (A.U.) = 1.496 x 10^8 Km.

Therefore, distance of Voyager I from Earth = 71 AU = 71 x 1.496 x 10^8 = 1.062 x 10^10 Km.

(ii) The nearest star to Earth than sun is the Proxima Centauri in the Alpha Centauri system. The Proxima Centauri is 4.22 light years away from Earth.

As, 1 Light year = 63241.1 AU

The distance of the Proxima Centauri from Earth = 4.22 x 63241.1 AU = 266877.3 AU

The distance of the Voyager I from Earth = 71 AU

The number of times the distance of the Proxima Centauri from Earth is greater than that of Voyager I is = 266877.3 / 71

= 3758.835 times.

(iii) Speed of light is 1.079 x 10^9 Km/hr

Light travels 1.079 x 10^9 km in 1 hr

Therefore, 1. 062 x 10^10 Km is traveled by light in = (1.062 x 10^10) / (1.079 x 10^9) hr = 9.84 hours

That means when Voyager I was 71 AU from Earth, a observational data from Voyager I at the speed of light took 9.84 hours to reach Earth.

Rivers of drainage system. option- 1 Sao Francisco 2 amazon 3 subarnarekha 4 Uruguay
guapka [62]

It is impossible to build a drainage system on the outside of the Sao Francisco river as buildings are built on the outside of the foundation.

The Subarnarekha is developing a small drainage system.

The Amazon basin is the largest drainage basin in the world.

The Urugay drainage system includes the greater part of southeastern Brazil, Paraguay, southeastern Bolivia and northern Argentina

So i would suggest putting the Amazon as it is the most common known and largest. Remember to use geographical terms!
