Answer:

C. Energy production decreases at night.

Explanation:

Main advantages of wind power

  • It is inexhaustible;
  • Does not emit polluting gases or generate waste;
  • Decreases greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
  • Wind farms are compatible with other land uses and uses such as agriculture and cattle raising;
  • Job creation;
  • Generation of investment in less favored areas;
  • Financial benefits (landowners and council areas).

Main disadvantages of wind power

  • Intermittence, ie the wind does not always blow when electricity is needed, making it difficult to integrate its production into the exploration program;
  • It can be overcome with fuel cells (H2) or with the technique of hydroelectric pumping.
  • Causes considerable visual impact, especially for the surrounding residents, the installation of wind farms generates a major landscape modification;
  • Impact on the local birds: mainly due to the shock of the birds on the paddles, unknown effects on the modification of their usual migration behaviors;
  • Sound impact: The sound of the wind hits the blades producing a constant noise (43 dB (A)). The nearest dwellings or residential areas should be at least 200 meters away.

What are the cycles that have historically controlled natural climate variability? List the name of each cycle, its natural time
Verdich [7]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • Climate oscillation or climate cycles are a recurring oscillation within the global or regional climates and their fluctuations produce varying climatic cells and pressures often occurring on an interannual and multi annular basis.  
  • On a decadal and millennium timescales.Current examples of the ENSO, Pacific oscillation, Antarctica, and arctic oscillation. like ENSO is characterized by flooding and drought conditions and the distribution of extreme conditions in the form of heat and cold waves.
  • Other cycles like the Piora oscillation, Little ice age, medieval warm period, retreating of glaciers and warming of the planet. All these cycles move on earth from the equator to tropics to temperate to polar areas and the continuous warming and cooling periods have altered the rate of spreading of the seafloor and oceanic basin.
  • Present warming has drastically created a major change in the evolution of species causing extinction and quick decomposition of resources. The release of carbon and methane gases over these years have raised the greenhouse effect at alarming rates.
