eduard3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It is possible to calculate the spreading rate of one side of a mid-ocean ridge by dividing distance by time (Distance/Time = Rate). This is called a half-spreading rate. Multiply it by 2 to get the full spreading rate for both sides of the ridge.

What is an example of an open system
creativ13 [48]
Hello! Ahh okay let’s see... I’ve studied this before.

So an example of an open system can be something like living organism such as a human being. We actively interact with our environment, which results in changes to both the environment and us. For example... we eat to acquire energy.
I hope this helps, I tried to give a pretty detailed example. Have a great night!

What issue was addressed by the Three-Fifths Compromise
Galina-37 [17]
Hello! The Three-Fifths Compromise addressed the issue of counting the population, so that there would be proper representation. Slaves votes would be counted as three-fifths of a person. With a lot of people in the U.S., it would be pretty much impossible to get the exact population. It was a controversial issue that had mixed opinions by the delegates. There were many of those that argued against slaves being counted at all.

What are *TWO* measures introduced by the US and local governments to reduce the consumption of gas?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Two measures that have been introduced by the US and local governments to reduce the consumption of  gas are the introduction of light-rail and the use of carpool lanes.  

Explanation:

The introduction of light-rail will reduce the consumption of gas from personal vehicles and also reduce personal vehicle carbon emissions. One example is the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) and Los Angeles has a system that combines light rail and heavy rail called Metro Rail. The use of carpool lanes will reduce the use of gas and help to reduce traffic congestion because there will be less cars on the road in high traffic areas where there is a large percentage of the population who commutes to and from work on freeways. Carpool lanes or High Capacity Vehicle (HCV) lanes are found in metropolitan areas like Washington DC.

4. Assume the temperature of an air parcel increases, while the amount of water vapor in the air parcel is held constant. Which
Oksana_A [137]

The statement that the saturation vapor pressure of the air parcel increases  is true among the given statements.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The saturation vapor pressure of the air parcel will increase with the increasing temperature. The amount of pressure that each air bubble will exert will increase if the temperature is increased. This would in turn make the vapor molecules saturate just above the water molecules.

This eventually results in precipitation. At high temperature, vapor molecules take less time to saturate over the water as compared to saturation at freezing temperatures which means that rainfall is more when temperature causes saturation vapor pressure to increase.
