The altitude of Polaris (the North Star) is always within about
2/3 of a degree of the latitude of the place where you're standing
when you see it.
Look up the latitude of each place on your list. That angle will be
the altitude of Polaris as seen from that place.
Adelaide, Australia, being in the southern hemisphere, can't see
Polaris at all.
I need points sorry not sorry
Rain
Most commonly observed, drops larger than drizzle (0.02 inch / 0.5 mm or more) are considered rain. However, smaller drops are also considered raindrops if, in contrast to drizzle, they are widely separated.
Drizzle
Fairly uniform precipitation composed exclusively of fine drops very close together. Drizzle appears to float while following air currents, but unlike fog droplets, it falls to the ground. Quite often fog and drizzle occur together.
Ice Pellets (Sleet)
Precipitation of transparent or translucent pellets of ice, which are round or irregular hard grains of ice consisting of frozen raindrops, or largely melted then refrozen snowflakes.
Snow
Precipitation of snow crystals that are mostly branched and in the form of six-pointed stars.
Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
Glacial retreat can be simply referred to as the condition when the rate of melting of ice is higher than the rate of accumulation of snow, or formation of ice.
This glacial retreat leads to the rising of the sea level, which can be one of the major threat to the ecosystem. This can lead to the submergence of many cities that are mostly located near the coastal areas.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
