Based on this fact, Malaysia is a country with abundant water resources. Streams and rivers with and without impounding reservoirs contribute 98 percent of total water used in Malaysia; the remainder is contributed by groundwater.
Answer:
Insolation is the amount of solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface through shortwaves. The earth also radiates heat energy like all other hot object. This is known as terrestrial radiation. The annual mean temperature on the surface of the earth is always constant.
Explanation:
The energy emitted by the sun is known as solar radiation. The incoming solar radiation to the earth is known as insolation. Radiation from the earth is called terrestrial radiation.
Answer:
Solar radiation is all the radiant energy emitted by the sun. Solar irradiance is the power per unit area received from the Sun in the form of electromagnetic radiation measured in space or at the Earth's surface. Isolation is the total solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface.
Answer:
B. The Channel Tunnel connecting the United Kingdom and France reduced travel time between these nations
E. Land has been cleared to make room for France's famous vineyards
F. A highway through Mount Blanc connects Italy and France
Explanation:
One of the five themes of geography is the human-environmental interaction. The human-environmental interaction basically means that the humans and the environment interact with each other and affect each other, sometimes in positive manner, sometimes in negative manner. There are many examples for this geographic theme across the globe.
The Channel Tunnel between the UK and France is an underwater tunnel. Its purpose is to make the traveling easier and faster between the two nations. It has been built in the sea waters, and fortunately it is not having any negative impacts on the environment.
France is one of the biggest producers of vine in the world. In order to have the amount of grapes needed for France to produce lot of vine it needs lot of agricultural land. This has been accomplished by clearing the land from the wild vegetation over time. While this has had a very positive impact on the economy of France, it has had very negative effect on the wildlife as it has totally ruined the habitat for lot of species.
Italy and France are separated by a massive mountain range, the Alps. The Alps are very large and very high, but nonetheless the humans managed to find ways to build highways through them despite all the difficulties. The highways are state of art through the Alps, and they are very useful for the countries in the region as these highways connect them, and not making them isolted. It has not been so great for the environment though, as lot of changes have been done to the mountain range, and every day there's thousands of animals that die on the highways.
The Murray river is the longest river in Australia
The regions of light and unpredictable winds at about 30° No latitudes are called <u>trade winds</u>
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
Trade winds are the latitudes which cool and descend at 30 degree north and are areas with surface winds but these surface winds are light and unpredictable. These are the winds that blow towards the equator.
Trade winds blow at an average speed of about 5 to 6 meters per second and these winds are unpredictable. These winds are warm winds and therefore they pick up moisture and bring heavy rainfall.
