IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

c. 2000 years long

Explanation:

The global temperature records show the fluctuation of temperature from ocean to landraces and varying extremes. These have existed since the 1850 period when measured from the Pleistocene ice age by the use of various tools and techniques like the weather balloon radioscopy.

Tree ring and ice core data have shown a measuring record from 1000 to 2000 years of data, based on lake sediments, cave deposits and fossils records. The global mean surface temperatures have ranged for over 25 years of span with periods of little ice age and medieval warm periods.

The distance from Alexandria to Syene is about 500 miles. On the summer solstice the sun is directly overhead at noon in Syene.

svp [43]

Answer:

Earth circumference is 25000 miles

correct option is 25,000 miles

Explanation:

we have given here Alexandria to Syene distance = 500 miles

the sun is 1/50th of the circumference of the sky (about 7°)

as we know that Earth circumference done by astronomer Eratosthenes in 240 B.C

He observe on a particular time of day ( in noon) during the summer solstice

and there was no shadow in Syene in Egypt so This was verified that the sun must be directly on overhead and not at an angle to the surface of the city at that time

In Alexandria he measured the position of sun at the same time and found it to be nearly (1/50)th of a complete circle

it would be 7.2 degree (when we do $\frac{360}{50}$ = 7.2)

so 2 reference points being 2 cities for the sun

all measure circumference = the distance between these two cities × 50

and we have given 500 miles

Earth circumference = 500 × 50

Earth circumference is 25000 miles

correct option is 25,000 miles
