Which of the following strategies would best help a city combat a growing urban heat island?

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

D). Combat the overuse of asphalt and concrete surfaces.

Explanation:

Urban Heat is characterized as the circumstance in which a particular urban area has a considerably increased temperature because of specific human activities. As per the question, the most adequate strategy to assist a city in fighting the battle against the increasing 'urban heat island' would be to '<u>avoid the excessive use of surfaces made of concrete and asphalt</u>.' The key reason behind this is that 'asphalt and concrete surfaces tend to possess an extremely higher heating capacity' and thus, it absorbs heat from the sun and causing the land temperatures to reach higher till 60° celsius. Therefore, preventing the overuses of such surfaces would be the most adequate strategy to keep the temperatures in control. Hence, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

How does the tilt of earth effect your daily life

Ann [662]

Answer:

"The tilt of the Earth's spin axis with respect to the plane of its orbit about the sun (the ecliptic plane) is important for a habitable Earth. The Earth's spin axis is tilted 23.5° with respect to the ecliptic, giving moderate seasons and preventing temperature extremes anywhere on the planet"

RIGHT NOW WILL MARK BRAINLIEST (i report)

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Table B shows a proportional relationship

Explanation:

In a proportional relationship two quantities vary directly with each other.

So,

y ∝ x

y = kx

Where, k is the constant of variation.

The ordered pairs of table A are (-2,2), (-1,3), (0,0) and (1,5).

From these ordered pairs we can conclude that the value of y-coordinate is not changing according to the x-coordinate because the values of x increased by 1 for each ordered pair but the value of y is not increasing in the same proportion..

The ordered pairs of table B are (-1,-3), (0,0), (1,3) and (2,6). The value of y increasing at a constant rate 3 and the value of y-coordinate is 3 times of x-coordinate.

Choose any two ordered pairs of table B. Let the two points are (0,0) and (1,3).

The proportional relationship is defined as

y = 3x

Therefore, 3 is the constant of variation and rate of change.

So, Table B shows a proportional relationship.

In rare occasions, contour lines can intersect one another on a topographic map.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Contour lines can never cross one another. Each line represents a separate elevation, and you can't have two different elevations at the same point.

Hope this helps!

Please I need examples on using 111km in calculating the actual distance on ground when the map distance and scale is given

amm1812

Answer: Do it yourself

Find your scale. Maps have different scales e.g. for an explorers map 1:25,000.

Measure distance on map say in centimetres.

Use a ruler, string, or almost anything, pencil, fingers, a twig or I like a spare piece of paper.

Place against the scale for a direct reading.

Or calculate distance.

Say you measure 4 cm on the map. Then remember in this case 1:25,000.

so 4x1 or 4 = 4x25,000 = 100,000 cm real or actual distance.

In meters divide by 100 = 100,000/100 = 1,000 metres. (= 4cm on map).

or in kilometres divide again by 1,000 = 1,000/1,000 = 1 Kilometre. (= 4cm on map).

Also a tip just proved: 1:25,000 is the same as 4 cm = 1 Km or 1 cm = 1/4 Km real.

And best for walking a 1:50,000 scale map 2 cm = 1 Km or 1 cm = 1/2 Km real.
