Define a greenhouse gas.

Geography
1 answer:
Art [367]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Greenhouse gases allow visible light to pass through and warm the Earth's surface, and prevent heat energy from radiating back out into space.

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect of the gases is due to the fact that they transmit sunlight at a higher frequency than infrared, which heats up soil, trees and water. That heat cannot then radiate into space again like infrared radiation because the greenhouse gases partially absorb it. The effect is that the Earth's temperature rises until a completely new equilibrium temperature is reached.  The most significant greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and tropospheric ozone.

The concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is constantly increasing at an accelerating rate due to human activities. The annual growth rate is currently two millionths of a year.

How did sand get on beaches?
erastova [34]

Answer:

Most beaches get their sand from rocks on land. Over time, rain, ice, wind, heat, cold, and even plants and animals break rock into smaller pieces. This weathering may begin with large boulders that break into smaller rocks. Water running through cracks erodes the rock.

IN YOUR OWN WORD
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Insurance companies should have the ability to legally learn the genetic profiles of people that wish to be insured.

Explanation: The reasoning...

Insurance wise the more of a liability you are the more insurance companies might not want to provide insurance to you, and if in their own studies they should be permitted to find about any history of genetic illness, this followed by higher risks of cancer, and diabetes might make you a high-risk client. Insurance is something that is sold so that the possibilities can be dealt with. If a person has a higher risk of one of those medical possibilities that might cost the insurance company more than you pay the monthly cost. This is unsavoury for companies that work like this hence it should be in their right to allow for genetic profile background checks, funded by themselves of course.

Central and state governments <br> influence each other in
Masteriza [31]
The answer to this problem would be that the central government and the state governments influence each other in a federal system. A central government would be most likely to be a characteristic of a unitary state while on the other hand, the state governments would be in a federal form of government which resides on the country subdivision. At which as to how they are influencing each other, they may come in terms of domestic policy because it might go to show that the central government and the state governments' interests and other needs be parallel to each other or might even overlap each other.
