Do comets orbit in a circular or elliptical pattern

Geography
1 answer:
Lelu [443]3 years ago

The correct answer is - elliptical.

The comets, just like the planets, have elliptical orbits. Their orbits though tend to be much more narrow and stretched ellipses than those of the planets. Because of the elliptical orbits, the comets are much closer to the body they are orbiting around in certain periods, but also much further away at other periods.

The comets are characterized and best known for their ''tails''. They do not have elongated shape though, but instead they have a rounded shape, but because they have amount of ice on them, as they move, particles of ice are stripped away from it. Those particles of ice are trailing behind the comet for certain time, and that is what we actually see as a tail of the comet.

Which factor has led to the increasing influence of oil-rich Middle Eastern countries over other nations?
monitta

Answer:

The dependence comes from the fact that the highest consumers of oil are not the highest producers.

Explanation:

The Middle East, as a region, has been blessed with reserves of oil. This is the natural resource for which there is the highest demand on the global market, so having it means that it brings a lot of benefits. The most obvious benefit is a lot of profit, but there is also the political influence because of the dependence of other countries on the resource.

The huge amount of profit complemented with having all major economies in the world (except two) highly dependent on oil from the Middle Eastern countries has led to a lot of looking through fingers situations. Almost all of the countries in this region tend to be among the worst when it comes to the violation of human rights, suppression, dictatorship, but all other countries turn their heads and there is no reaction because of how dependent they are on their oil. Also, the leaders of these countries are spreading out their influence in other countries by buying a lot of businesses, buying actions, sports clubs, or even finance political parties in order to make a stronghold, and so far they do it to great effect.

What are the main reasons and sources of the increased CO2 levels?
Dmitry [639]
The main sources are humans which is why it is stated that the global warming is man made. The levels have increased beyond all measure, increasing since the 1950s by a 100 CO2 parts per million, and it keeps increasing by 2ppm on a yearly basis. The statistics from the industrial revolution era are not much different and show how much we've increased the CO2 in modern times.

what is the US policy towards refugees from Haiti? Why do you think it differs from U.S policy toward Cuban refugees?​
vichka [17]

Answer:

The US government's policy towards Haitian refugees is to treat them as economic refugees. The US government's policy towards Cuban refugees is to treat them as political refugees.

Explanation:

Haitian refugees:

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, with a per capita income of about $100 per year. The U.S. government classifies Haitians as "economic" and not "political" refugees. This makes it easier to deport them. The US government has also traditionally been supportive of repressive regimes in Haiti, like Duvalier and his son who were longterm leaders like a family dynasty in Haiti. Another figure of Haitian politics who has sometimes been in favor of the US government, and at times in disfavor is Jean-Bertrand Aristide. It is alleged that the USA orchestrated two coup attempts again Aristide in 1991 and then his forced exile in 2004. The USA plays a more active role in Haitian politics and who assumes power than it does in Cuba.  In 2015, there were reportedly 676,000 Haitian migrants in the United States.

Cuban refugees:

In contrast, Cuban refugees are considered political refugees and the US government does not support the Castro regime nor his brother who was also the President of Cuba after Fidel's death (the President is now Miguel Díaz-Canel).  There is also a substantial and powerful Cuban-American population, especially in the state of Florida. The majority of the 1,172,899 current Cuban exiles living in the United States live in Florida. They can influence politics in the state and also at the federal level because of their power as a community. Most Cuban-Americans are anti-Castro and thus they support the embargo against Cuba.
