<h2>Answer:</h2>

B) The atmosphere gets warmer because there is less sea ice to reflect the sun's rays.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The sea ice forms a reflective surface which reflects the sun rays back into the atmosphere and space. Warming temperatures which melt the sea ice decreases reflective surfaces by increasing absorption of sun rays and solar radiation.  

This is because the melted sea ice exposes the darker parts of the earth's surface melting the sea ice and increasing ocean temperatures. The heat from rising temperature is released into the atmosphere causing global warming. The cycle continues each season and the melted sea ice doesn't get enough time to freeze.

Select the reasons why most professional telescopes are reflectors rather than refractors.
Julli [10]

Answer:

d). It is easier to make a large reflecting telescope than a large refracting telescope.

f). A reflector can collect more light than a refractor.

Explanation:

A telescope is a device that is used to observe distant objects by the use of lenses and mirrors. It is also used to observe different distant objects by their reflection, absorption, emission or the reflection of the electromagnetic radiations.

Most of the professional telescopes are reflectors because :

1. The reflected telescope is able to receive more of the light when it reflects all the light falling on surface. And it is easier for making a large telescope rather then making large lenses for the refracting telescope. So it is easier to make large reflecting telescope than a large refracting telescope.

2. A reflected telescope receives all the wavelength of the light and it reflects all the light falling on the surfaces where it is refracted telescope that contains lenses cannot absorbs all the light and causes the chromatic aberration.

O que você sabe a respeito das características econômicas do continente africano?
ikadub [295]

The African countries can easily be described and generalized, in the sense of the whole continent, as the economies are predominantly dependent on one or two products.

That dependence on one or two products is making very big problems, and it is also a very big mistake of the governments. When there's a slight variation in the prices on the certain product, the economies are heavily influenced, often in a bed manner.

It is weird though that the African countries have orientated their economies in this way, especially because the continent is very rich in lots of natural resources.
