ICE Princess25 [194]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

When the carbon dioxide concentrations rise, the air temperature will rise as well due to the greenhouse gases heating up and multiplying.  

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide causes about 20 percent of Earth's greenhouse effect; water vapour accounts for about 50 percent; and clouds account for 25 percent. ... Likewise, when carbon dioxide concentrations rise, air temperatures go up, and more water vapour evaporates into the atmosphere—which then amplifies greenhouse heating.

How do breakers form?
djyliett [7]
Breakers form when a wave approaches the shore, it grows in height and steepness as the water gets more shallow. Afterwards the waves grow and till the deep part of the water isn’t as deep anymore. At this point, the wave breaks and in results it forms a breaker.

How does the Richter scale measure an earthquake?
USPshnik [31]

Richter's original magnitude scale (ML) was extended to observations of earthquakes of any distance and of focal depths ranging between 0 and 700 km. Because earthquakes excite both body waves, which travel into and through the Earth, and surface waves, which are constrained to follow the natural waveguide of the Earth's uppermost layers, two magnitude scales evolved - the MB and MS scales.

The standard body-wave magnitude formula is

MB = log10(A/T) + Q(D,h) ,

where A is the amplitude of ground motion (in microns); T is the corresponding period (in seconds); and Q(D,h) is a correction factor that is a function of distance, D (degrees), between epicenter and station and focal depth, h (in kilometers), of the earthquake. The standard surface-wave formula is

MS = log10 (A/T) + 1.66 log10 (D) + 3.30 .

There are many variations of these formulas that take into account effects of specific geographic regions so that the final computed magnitude is reasonably consistent with Richter's original definition of ML. Negative magnitude values are permissible.

zimovet [89]
The correct answer is 'Active Transport'. when the concentration of particles is higher inside the cell and yet for proper functioning we need more ions, the ions are received by the cell by the means of active transport, in which dissolved substances are moved by the help of carrier proteins with the energy released from respiration.
