The correct answer is - True.

The stratosphere manages to absorb around 95% of the UV radiation that comes from the Sun. The stratosphere acts like a protective layer in our atmosphere for the living organisms on our planet. If the stratosphere was not able to absorb the UV radiation in that big of an amount and was letting through much more of it to reach the Earth, than life would be almost impossible on our planet, and most of the organisms would die out because the UV radiation will cause extremely big damage and lead to death.

Question 3 (1 point

Virty [35]

Answer:

AB = 5.8 units

Explanation:

The distance of line segment AB shown in the attachment below can be calculated using the distance formula, $d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$ , assuming that each box in the graph equals 1 unit.

A(2, 4)

B(-3, 1)

Let,

$A(2, 4) = (x_1, y_1)$

$B(-3, 1) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values into the distance formula

$d = \sqrt{(-3 - 2)^2 + (1 - 4)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (-3)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{25 + 9}$

$d = \sqrt{34}$

$d = 5.8$ (nearest tenth)

AB = 5.8 units

Alenkasestr [34]

The generalized channel path A seen in the stream capture folder most likely represents the previous outlet channel of the Murray river.

The Murray River is a river in southeastern Australia. At 2,508 km long, it is Australia's longest river. Its tributaries include five of the six longest rivers in Australia.

Most of the rivers in the basin begin in the Great Dividing Range. This is a range of mountains on the east coast of Australia that stretches from northern Queensland through New South Wales to Victoria. The basin ends in South Australia where the Murray River meets the Southern Ocean.
