At EVERY point on Earth . . . North of the equator, South of the equator, at the poles, or exactly ON the equator . . . the lengths of days and nights change with the seasons. (probably supposed to be <em>choice-3</em>)
A incidência de raios solares está muito mais presente na região equatorial do que nos pólos, portanto, há um maior aquecimento dos oceanos nesta região, enquanto que perto dos pólos há um maior resfriamento.
The correct answers are:
<em>Question 1: peacefully;</em>
In the democratic societies, people can protest an every issue that they consider is worth protesting, and consider it as something that is damaging to the country or themselves. But also, the people that protest are obligated by law that they have to protest peacefully, if not there are legal consequences against those that use violence.
<em>Question 2; right;</em>
Considering the statement, the internet seems to be treated as a right. Since freedom of speech is ensured, and it is ensured for everyone, this global network enables the people to express their own opinion on every subject without being prosecuted, and that puts it into the category of a human right.
The world’s ocean is crucial to heating the planet. While land areas and the atmosphere absorb some sunlight, the majority of the sun’s radiation is absorbed by the ocean. Particularly in the tropical waters around the equator, the ocean acts a as massive, heat-retaining solar panel. Earth’s atmosphere also plays a part in this process, helping to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.
The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds, often vast distances. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area. Outside of Earth’s equatorial areas, weather patterns are driven largely by ocean currents. Currents are movements of ocean water in a continuous flow, created largely by surface winds but also partly by temperature and salinity gradients, Earth’s rotation, and tides (the gravitational effects of the sun and moon). Major current systems typically flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere, in circular patterns that often trace the coastlines. Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface. Without currents, regional temperatures would be more extreme—super hot at the equator and frigid toward the poles—and much less of Earth’s land would be habitable.
