Answer:

B.) Covers one-half of the earth

Explanation:

The desert doesn't cover one-half of the earth. In fact, true deserts only cover about 14 percent of the world's land area.

This might be a little late but I hope it helps. :)

Question 2 1 pts Choose all of the following that are true. Hydropower is a "clean" energy source in that it does not produce an
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

All the points except the first one are true

Explanation:

Hydro power and reservoirs are frequently thought of as "clean source of energy " since they don't consume non-renewable energy sources like fossil fuels to generate power.  

According to the researches conducted last year, it has been has affirmed that dams and reservoirs are a noteworthy wellspring of ozone depleting substance emanations driving environmental change.

As of not long ago, it was accepted that around 20 percent of all man-made methane emanations originated from reservoir surface.

It was also discovered that dams and stores add to a worldwide temperature alteration 25% more than recently estimated.

This is the reason that hydro power is no more considered a clean fuel.

. If the fastest passenger aircraft can fly 0.45 km/s (1000 mph), how long would it take to reach the sun? The galactic center?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

The passenger aircraft would take 10.542 years to reach the Sun from the Earth.

The passenger aircraft would take 1.733\times 10^{10} years to reach the gallactic center.

Explanation:

The distance to the sun from the Earth is approximately equal to 1.496\times 10^{8}\,km, if the passenger travels at constant speed, then the time needed to reach the sun is calculated by the following kinematic formula:

\Delta t = \frac{s}{v} (1)

Where:

s - Travelled distance, measured in kilometers.

v - Speed of the passenger aircraft, measured in kilometers per second.

\Delta t - Travelling time, measured in seconds.

If we know that s = 1.496\times 10^{8}\,km and v = 0.45\,\frac{km}{s}, then the travelling time is:

\Delta t = \frac{1.496\times 10^{8}\,km}{0.45\,\frac{km}{h} }

\Delta t = 3.324\times 10^{8}\,s

\Delta t = 3847.736\,days

\Delta t = 10.542\,years

The passenger aircraft would take 10.542 years to reach the Sun from the Earth.

The distance between the Earth and the galactic center is approximately equal to 2.460\times 10^{17}\,km. If the passenger travels at constant speed and if we know that s = 2.460\times 10^{17}\,km and v = 0.45\,\frac{km}{s} , then the travelling time is:

\Delta t = \frac{2.460\times 10^{17}\,km}{0.45\,\frac{km}{s} }

\Delta t = 5.467\times 10^{17}\,s

\Delta t = 6.327\times 10^{12}\,days

\Delta t = 1.733\times 10^{10}\,years

The passenger aircraft would take 1.733\times 10^{10} years to reach the gallactic center.

Water near the equator is warmer than water at the poles. Which sentence explains why?
shusha [124]

Hi there!

You will have already be known that the <em>sun's rays are closest to the equatorial regions</em> <em>than</em> the <em>polar regions</em>. So the stronger heat rays reach the equator first, heating it's water faster. Within the span of time when the rays reach the polar areas (poles), the sun rays become slanted, leading it into the ocean waters.

Also, the sharpness or intensity of the rays gets weakened, thereby heating the water of polar regions less.

Using this fact, we can say that the rays falling near the equator heats the water more than the rays heating the water at poles.

Hence, we can say that <u>D) </u><u>T</u><u>he sun heats earth and it ocean unevenly</u> will be your answer.

Thank you !
