The answer that best fits the blank is the word SATELLITES. It is the satellites that are used to determine the measurement of the ocean-surface height differences. This is used in Ocean Surface Topography wherein the sea surface is affected by both ocean circulation and gravity.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Satellite

Differences in ocean-surface height can be measured by<u> Satellite</u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The topography of the ocean or the height of the ocean surface relative to a level of no motion provides the information on tides, and the distribution of heat and mass in the Earths's oceans.
  • <em><u>The ocean topography is measured using satellites altimeter. Satellites use radar altimeters that are specially made to measure the height of the ocean surface.  The satellites measure the height of the ocean surface with an accuracy of 3 cm relative to the center of the earth.</u></em>
  • Satellite altimeter combines precise orbit determination with accurate ranging by a microwave altimeter of ocean distance to the satellite.

Does the atmosphere filters the water in clouds?will give brainliest to correcct answer
lianna [129]

Answer:

After a rain, they will eventually evaporate into water vapor. These airborne water molecules get carried back up into the sky to form clouds and then more rain (or snow or hail). ... So this process of evaporation can help to purify water of some of the big things it might be mixed in with.

Platinum has a density of 21.4 g/cm3. if thieves were to steal platinum from a bank using a small truck with a maximum payload o
slega [8]
We will convert the 1dm3 in terms of cm3 as follows:

1dm^3 = (10 cm)^3
= 1000 cm^3

The mass of platinum is equal to 900 lb. 
Then we will convert the mass in terms of grams as follows:
1 lb = 453.6 g
900 = 900 x 453.6 g
= 408240 g

Then density of platinum is equal to 21.4 g/cm^3 
We will calculate the volume of platinum in mass 408240 g as follows:
Volume of platinum = mass of platinum / density of platinum
= 408240 g / 21.4 g/cm^3 
= 19076.6 cm^3  

The total volume of platinum is 19076.6 cm^3
The volume of platinum in 1 L bar is 1000cm^3
So, to calculate the number of bars we will use the formula as follows;
Number of bars = volume of platinum available / volume of platinum required in 1 L bar
= 19076.6 cm^3 / 1000 cm^3
= 19
So, the number of bars are 19.

Explain the difference in pressure between a small and a large point
Radda [10]

Answer:

If the force applied is the same, the small point will exert a greater pressure. Assumption:

  • both forces are applied perpendicularly and evenly, and
  • the entirety of the larger point is in contact with the object that it is acting on.  

Explanation:

Pressure is the amount of force exerted per unit area. In other words, if a normal force of size N is exerted over an area of A, it will exert a pressure of

\displaystyle P = \frac{N}{A}.

The contact area, A, is in the denominator. If the numerator stays the same and the value of the denominator increases, the value of the quotient will become smaller. With a similar logic, if the value of the numerator (normal force) stays the same, raising the size of the force (the denominator) will reduce the pressure on the object.

This relationship is widely applied in real life. For example, the moon soil is known to be soft; it is likely to get deshaped easily under pressure. Landers with pointy legs might sink into the soil and topple. To minimize that risk, each landing leg of the Apollo Lunar Modules is equipped with a wide plate, The plate maximizes the contact area and minimize the pressure on the lunar surface.
