Milankovitch cycles refer to
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:    Changes in Earth-Sun relationships, namely Earth's orbit around the sun, axial rotation, and axial tilt

Explanation:  Milankovitch cycles refer to changes in the Earth-Sun relations because of the earth's orbital eccentricity that the Earth circles the Sun. The shape of the Earth's path around the sun is eccentricity, due to the constant change of the orbital form within the limits of 0 to 5% ellipticity. In addition, these cycles occur not only due to eccentricity, but also due to axial rotation and axial tilt. All this has an employer of climate change on Earth due to the change in the amount of sunlight. These changes should be understood as very long-term, for example, the Ice Age cycle is associated with changes in the amount of sunlight, and due to changes of Earth's orbit. This means they are important as long-term changes.

Which is a possible result of higher air temperatures caused by climate change? decrease in strength of hurricanes freezing of p
guajiro [1.7K]

The correct response will be Option B i.e Increase in

<u>Strength of Hurricanes</u>

  • As the air continues to warm due to climate change, hurricanes can hold more water vapor, producing more intense rainfall rates in a storm. Moreover, according to Knutson, most models show that climate change brings a slight increase in hurricane wind intensity.
<h3><u>Why are hurricanes increasing in strength?</u></h3>
  • Physics suggests that as the world warms, hurricanes and other tropical cyclones should get stronger, because warmer water provides more of the energy that fuels these storms. And climate simulations have long showed an increase in stronger hurricanes as warming continues

Write a paragraph about Natural Recourses of Egypt.
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Resources and power

Compared with the physical size of the country and the level of its population, Egypt has scanty mineral resources. The search for petroleum began earlier in Egypt than elsewhere in the Middle East, and production on a small scale began as early as 1908, but it was not until the mid-1970s that significant results were achieved, notably in the Gulf of Suez and portions of the Western Desert. By the early 1980s Egypt had become an important oil producer, although total production was relatively small by Middle Eastern standards.

The bulk of Egypt’s petroleum comes from the Morgan, Ramadan, and July fields (both onshore and offshore) in the Gulf of Suez, which are operated by the Gulf of Suez Petroleum Company (commonly known as Gupco), and from the Abū Rudays area of the Sinai on the Gulf of Suez. Egypt also extracts oil from fields at Al-ʿAlamayn (El-Alamein) and Razzāq in the Western Desert. Active drilling for oil, involving several international interests, including those of the United States and several European countries, has continued in both the Eastern and the Western deserts, with marked success during the 1990s and early 21st century.

In the process of searching for oil, some significant natural gas deposits have been located, including substantial deposits in the delta and in the Western Desert, as well as offshore under the Mediterranean Sea. Wells have been established in the Abū Qīr area, northeast of Alexandria. A joint Egyptian-Italian gas discovery was made in the north delta near Abū Māḍī in 1970; this was developed partly to supply a fertilizer plant and partly to fuel the industrial centres in the north and northwest delta. In 1974 Abū Māḍī became the first Egyptian gas field to begin production. Other natural gas fields are located in the Western Desert, the delta, the Mediterranean shelf, and the Gulf of Suez, and by the early 21st century natural gas production had begun to rival that of oil, both as a source for domestic consumption and as a commodity for export.

Egypt has several oil refineries, two of which are located at Suez. The first of Egypt’s twin crude pipelines, linking the Gulf of Suez to the Mediterranean Sea near Alexandria, was opened in 1977. This Suez-Mediterranean pipeline, known as Sumed, has the capacity to transmit some 2.5 million barrels of oil per day. The Sumed pipeline was financed by a consortium of Arab countries, primarily Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Egypt. In 1981 a crude oil pipeline was opened to link Raʾs Shukhayr, on the Red Sea coast, with the refinery at Musṭurud, north of Cairo. Additional oil pipelines link Musṭurud with Alexandria, and fields near Hurghada to terminals on the Red Sea.

Several of Egypt’s major known phosphate deposits are mined at Isnā, Ḥamrāwayn, and Safājah. Coal deposits are located in the partially developed Maghārah mines in the Sinai Peninsula. Mines located in the Eastern Desert have been the primary source for manganese production since 1967, and there are also reserves of manganese on the Sinai Peninsula. Iron ore is extracted from deposits at Aswān, and development work has continued at Al-Baḥriyyah Oasis. Chromium, uranium, and gold deposits are also found in the country.

The Nile constitutes an incomparable source of hydroelectric energy. Before the completion of the Aswān High Dam power station in 1970, only a small volume of Egyptian electricity was generated by hydropower, with thermal plants burning diesel fuel or coal being the principal producers. For several years after the High Dam station went into operation, most of the country’s electricity was generated there. Its original 12 turbines have a generating capacity of about 2 million kilowatts; the Aswān II hydroelectric power station (completed 1986) has added another 270,000 kilowatts of capacity to the system. Actual power production from the High Dam has been limited, however, by the need to reconcile demands for power with the demands for irrigation water. Moreover, Egypt’s booming population and growing need for energy has forced the government to construct additional thermal plants, many of them fueled by the country’s abundant reserves of natural gas. Thermal plants now generate some four-fifths of the country’s electricity.

16. If planet A and planet B are circling the sun and if planet Bis 10 times as far as planet A is to the sun. Then which, plane
slega [8]

Answer:

Planet B

Explanation:

Planet B will take more to time to complete its revolution because it is farther to the sun. The shorter planet completes its revolution faster due to its short orbit around the sun. This implies that planets that are close to the sun have shorter time to complete their revolution but those far away will take more than usual.

Question 17 of 20
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

A human community with high population density and low economic status will have the highest birthrates.

Explanation:

A is not correct because usually, these are populations in countries that are transitioning from one political to another political model, and these populations actually tend to decline, mostly because of immigration.

B is not correct because such populations tend to have low birthrates, often even below the bar for simple replacement of the population.

C is not correct because such populations tend to live in very bad conditions, so despite having relatively high birthrates, they stagnate in their growth.

D is correct because such populations have both the numbers needed and also live in more traditional societies, leading to very high birthrates, as can be seen with Nigeria, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Indonesia, etc.
