Answer:

Answer b) is correct: the tropics are 25N and 25S, and the tilt is 25° for Mars.

Explanation:

The definition of the Arctic Circle is the circumference containing the area where, in the northern's summer solstice, it is wholly sunlit, while it is wholly dark (not reached by sunlight) in northern's winter solstice. (This reasoning may be followed for the Antarctic circle and the southern's summer and winter, by means of an analogy).

The existence of Arctic (and Antarctic) Circle is due to the planet's axis's tilt with respect to its revolution plane around the central objetc, i.e., our common Sun. <u>The angular distance of the Arctic Circle from martian's geographic North Pole is the same as Mars tilt value</u>. So, if the Arctic Circle is located 65° North, that means it is 65° away from the equator, and 90°-65° = 25° from the North Pole. This variable, called co-latitude, is complementary to the latitude (being 90° the sum of these two values, always).

So, the tilt value must be 25 degrees, which in turn means that the tropics must be at that same angular distance from the equator, both North and South. So the tropics are 25N and 25S. Answer b) is correct.

Eruptions emitted through elongate cracks at the surface, as opposed to through the vents of volcanic cones, are termed ________
Elza [17]

Answer:

Fissure eruptions

Explanation:

A fissure vent or eruption fissure is a linear volcanic vent from which lava erupts mostly without explosive activity. The vent is usually not very wide but can be very long stretching for miles. While they do not explode like many volcanic cones do, fissure vents can cause large flood basalts. After some time the eruption builds up spatter cones and may concentrate on one or some of them. Spatter cones are steep-sided hills that consist of welded lava fragments that are called spatter and these cones form around vents.

The young regions of the Arabian peninsula have acquired protection from outsiders like the Ottoman Empire to defend the British rulers. Soon after the development of Islam took place in such regions generated culture of peninsula.  Below number of aspects are given which discuss about the affect on population pattern on Arabian peninsula:

Which of the following is a domestic influence on foreign policy?
LenKa [72]

The correct answer is - A famine in Ireland prompts US response.

With the Irish famine of the 19th century, and the response to it by the United States, we have a very nice example of domestic influence on foreign policy.

Namely, the Irish potato famine was so bad, that very large percentage of the Irish population actually died, and the rest of the population was on the verge of starvation. Because of this, lots of people wanted to move out of the country in order to at least be able to have food on the table. This prompted a response from the United States, and they made an exception in their strict foreign policy because of the Irish people, so opened their borders to them in order to help them, thus letting them settle in the country.
