Tectonic activities occur mostly at or near the areas near the surface of the earth where tectonic plates meet.

What is the only u.S. Airport that flies directly to all 6 major continents?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Chicago

Explanation:

Chicago is the only airport in the United States, thus making the city of Chicago as well, that has direct flights to six continents. This makes this airport the best connected in the United States, offering direct flights to North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia & Oceania. The only continent left to which there's no direct flight is Antarctica, with the reasons being the small interest, but much more the safety concerns as Antarctica is not the best place to have flights to considering its weather conditions. Chicago is actually only one of five cities in the world that has an airport that offers direct flights to six continents, being in the company of London, Dubai, Johannesburg, and Doha.

What is likely to happen in the long term if the Earth continues to absorb more energy than it emits? A. The Earth will disconti
zvonat [6]

Answer: C. The overall temperature of the Earth will increase.

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that Earth has a layer, the atmosphere, that is almost transparent to solar radiation, which is composed mainly of shortwave radiation (ultraviolet (UV) and visible light). Then, this layer allows to pass most of the sunlight (visible light and a small part of the UV radiation), without being absorbed.  

When this radiation reaches the Earth, it is absorbed by the water (H_{2}O), soil, plants, animals; well, everything that inhabits and also the buildings. Once this absorption process ends, the light turns into long wave (IR) radiation, generating heat that is then released into outer space and known as albedo.  

However, due to climate change (caused by the humankind), the Earth now tends to absorb more energy than it emits to the space as IR radiation. If this process is mantained for a long term, the planet's global temperature will highly increase.
