Answer:

Near the equator, sunlight hits Earth’s surface more directly. Near the poles, however, sunlight hits Earth’s surface at an angle. The same amount of energy is spread out over a larger area. As a result, it is generally colder near the poles.

<span>The answers are visual spectrum and pupil. The visible light spectrum is a narrow band of frequencies ranging from 390 to 780 wavelengths long. These wavelengths are detectable by the eye and the different length corresponds to different colors. The pupil determines how much light can enter the eye. It dilates and constricts depending on the amount of light available.</span>

Human caused climate change (most notably, global warming) has many positive feedback loops intrinsic to itself. Please describe
Tomtit [17]

When we burn fossil fuels to produce electricity, heat, and more, they emit greenhouse gases (GHGs) like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane. These gases trap the sun’s energy in Earth’s atmosphere as heat. As more and more GHGs are released, more heat gets trapped and the planet warms up, disrupting the long-standing, delicate climate systems that have made life on Earth possible.

The stronger storms and longer droughts we see becoming a dangerous new normal are a direct result. But how these impacts play off each other is far more nuanced. In many cases, the wildfires or disappearing glaciers we see in the headlines have unseen knock-on effects that lead to, well, more wildfires and disappearing glaciers.

Think of it like dominos lined up in an infinite spiral – once one domino falls, it creates a reaction that pushes over another and then another right on down the line.

lianna [129]
In passive transport, substances simply move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, which does not require the input of energy. Concentration gradient, size of the particles that are diffusing, and temperature of the system affect the rate of diffusion
