Answer: d) 24

Explanation:

This is because the astronomical start of summer for the southern hemisphere is generally marked on December 21st. During this season the days are longer than the nights, and as we get closer to the South Pole ( as McMurdo, Antarctica is), we will have up to 24 hours of sunlight.

That is why from December 21st, the sun is visible for 24 hours and the next days (the closer it is to the north pole) it will stay that way. Therefore, the inhabitants of this area can enjoy sunlight for a longer period.

Generally, the Earth is divided into spheres which include the "lithosphere" (land), "hydrosphere" (water), "biosphere" (living things), and "atmosphere" (air). The earth is divided into three layers based on chemical composition and these are the core, mantle and crust. In addition, the earth is also divided into physical properties which include lithosphere, athenosphere, mesosphere, outer core and inner core. Based on the given details, we can conclude that the atmosphere cannot be part of the lithosphere but instead, it is classified in a separate layer. The lithosphere only consists the outermost, rigid part of the Earth, which are the crust and the mantle. Hope this answer helps.

Which of the following is an example of the effects of global climate change
dangina [55]

Answer:

B. Melting polar ice caps

Explanation:

The global climate change is one of the most popular themes in the past few decades. It is a natural process that has been constantly happening on Earth, with periods of cooling down, or periods of warming up. In more recent times, the humans also started to contribute slightly to this process with the emissions of the greenhouse gasses, which are making the atmosphere warmer.

With the temperatures gradually rising on global level, there are numerous changes occurring. One of the most noticeable changes is the melting of the polar ice caps. Little by little, the polar ice caps and the glaciers are melting, thus decreasing the area occupied by frozen surface on the planet.

While it is almost impossible for the entirety of the ice caps to melt down until there is a large land mass on the poles, or one of them, it is most certain that the ice caps will reduce significantly. If the trend continues it will probably be only the interior of Antarctica that will preserve an ice cap.
