Geography

pickupchik [31]3 years ago

Explanation:

When light shines on an object, it is reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through the object, depending on the object's material and the frequency (color) of the light. ... However, because light can travel through space, it cannot be a matter wave, like sound or water waves.

When parallel light rays hit a concave mirror they reflect inwards towards a focal point. Each individual ray is still reflecting at the same angle as it hits that small part of the surface. ... Light rays travel towards the mirror in a straight line and are reflected inwards to meet at a point called the focal point. Opaque objects block light from traveling through them. Most of the light is either reflected by the object or absorbed and converted to thermal energy.

Also, when light is reflected from a mirror, it bounces off at the same angle in the opposite direction from which it hit. ... If the surface is concave, or curved inward, a group of light rays from a distant source is reflected back toward a single location known as the focal point

Approximately what percentage of energy in the u.s is provided by renewable energy resources A.5% B.9% C.15% D.25%
Nezavi [6.7K]

The correct answer is - B. 9%.

The United States, even though are one of the biggest investors in the development of usage of renewable energy, are still not very willing to use them as much and are mostly sticking to the nonrenewable energy resources. This is mainly due to the economic factor, and the United States are not a country that accepts any downfall in its economy, especially not if it doesn't have to. This also causes a lot of controversy because it is damaging the environment, and while lots of developed countries are focusing on the usage of the renewable energy resources, the United States refuse to do so even though they are one of the two biggest polluters in the world.

How are spring and neap tides different from regular tides? Check all that apply.
Svet_ta [14]
<h2>Answer: They are extra-high tides and extra-low tides.</h2>

Explanation:

Tides are periodic movements of the great masses of water on our planet as part of the gravitational attraction exerted by the moon and the sun on Earth.  

In this sense, there are two very special cases:  The Spring and Neap tides.

<u>Spring tides  </u>

Occur when there is a full moon or new moon, which makes the <u>tides higher.</u> During these lunar phases, the Moon, the Earth and the Sun are aligned and the gravitational attraction power is greater.  

<u>Neap tides  </u>

Occur when the moon, the earth and the sun form a right angle (90\º), being the gravity attraction on the masses of water the minimum. This happens in the crescent and wanning phases.
