What deos it mean for a satellite to be in geosynchronous orbit

Geography
1 answer:
slega [8]3 years ago

It means that the satellite's orbital period is equal to the Earth's rotation period ... roughly 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds ... so that the satellite always stays over the same longitude.

IF that satellite's orbit has also been carefully placed over the equator, THEN the satellite is in a 'geostationary' orbit. It appears motionless in the sky, and can be used to sell 900 channels of TV to people with little dishes that they never need to move.

pav-90 [236]

As global temperatures decrease, ice cover increases causing higher albedo which causes temperature to continue to drop is an example of positive mechanism.

<h3>What is Ice Albedo?</h3>

A significant component of global climate change is ice-albedo feedback. Surface albedo falls in the polar zone as snow and ice area declines, and the intensified solar heating further reduces the snow and ice area.

A positive feedback loop is exemplified by the ice-albedo feedback. A feedback loop is a cycle within a system that alters the impact on it, either positively or negatively.

Therefore if ice cover increases then the global warming is decreases as climatic conditions changes. It is a positive feedback.

What is the main reason people transitioned from foraging to agriculture?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
I would say D.

because you can’t count on foraging to feed 100 people, whereas agricultural growing of food is more effective when you have more people. you can plant 100 seeds, but you can’t guarantee to find 100 berries while foraging. hope this helps!
