Answer: What is a convergent plate boundary?

Explanation:

A convergent boundary is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other causing a process known as subduction. The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the Wadati–Benioff zone.

Indique as principais formas que temos para nos orientar, observando o espaço ou usando tecnologias desenvolvidas pelo homem:
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

As principais formas desenvolvidas pelos seres humanos para se orientar e observar o espaço foram a bússola, a rosa dos ventos e o GPS.

Explanation:

Antes de explicar a sua eprgunta, eu preciso te falar que esse não é osite brasileiro e sim o americano, por esse motivo ele esta todo em inglês. Isso significa que para postar pergunta em português nesse site, você deve postar essa pergunta no campo "World Languagens", independente da materia que essa pergunta é, caso contrario, a sua pergunta pode ser apagada sem receber resposta.

Os seres humanos precisavam criar sistemas que permitissem que eles se orientassem a cerca do espaço ao seu redor e podesse, assim, se locomover para qualquer região que quisessem.

Dentre esses sistemas, a rosa dos ventos e a bússola foram essenciais não só para a locomoção, mas para a evolução das sociedades, ja que isso permitiu que os navegadores e exploradores tivessem contato com outras regiões e outros povos.

Atualmente o GPS é a criação mais eficiente, podendo orientar os individuos com precisão, a cerca do espaço onde estão localizados.

Which of the following has been proposed as a potential strategy for mitigating the increase of co2 in the atmosphere ?
Triss [41]
<span>Injecting into geological formation, adding iron to the ocean to increase phytoplankton, and shooting into space
</span>
All of the above proposed methods are being proposed to help decrease global warming <u>but adding aerosols into the atmosphere does not involve the mitigation of the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. </u>

1. Adding aerosol to the atmosphere - aerosols added to the atmosphere have the potential to block the sun's rays and reduce global warming. They reflect the sun's rays back to the atmosphere while at the same time providing "seeds" around which water droplets can come together to form clouds. Cloud formation can also help increase the earth's reflectivity against the sun's rays.

2. Injecting into geological formation - carbon dioxide from stationary sources (e.g. powerplants and factories) can be captured and eliminated from the atmosphere, compressed into a fluid state, and injected deep underground into permeable and porous geological formations and overlain with a layer of impermeable rock to seal the CO2 underground. 

3. Adding iron to oceans to increase phytoplankton - phytoplanktons take up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for photosynthesis. Thus, adding iron to the oceans, which acts as a fertilizer to the phytoplanktons, can encourage the growth of the phytoplankton population. The more phytoplanktons, the more CO2 that can be removed from the atmosphere. 

4. Shoot it into space - some scientists propose that a conveyor can be built in the Arctic to take advantage of the Earth's magnetic field and allow for the venting or expelling of CO2 into outer space.

Which topic would a meteorologist most likely research?
xenn [34]

meteorologist most likely research on atmospheric conditions

<u>Explanation:</u>

A meteorologist are scientist who study about weather i.e., who uses scientific principle to understand and forecast the earth’s atmospheric conditions. There are many specialised areas that a meteorologist works on like air pollution meteorology, global climate model and numerical analysis and forecasting.

Some of the sectors that meteorologists are often found working in are government agencies, industrial organizations, radio and television stations and in the education sectors. Some of the devices that are used to study weather conditions are thermometer to measure temperature, barometer to measure the pressure variable, anemometer to measure wind, and hygrometer for measuring humidity.
