Answer:

(a) Mean yearly temperature = 10.58

(b) $July = 24^\circ C$

Explanation:

Given:

The attached chart

Solving (a): The mean yearly temperature.

This is calculated as:

$\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

$\bar x = \frac{-5 + 2 + 6 + 10+15 + 22+24+21+17+12+6-3}{12}$

$\bar x = \frac{127}{12}$

$\bar x = 10.58$

Solving (b): The mean July temperature.

From the chart:

$July = 24^\circ C$

Notice the newly constructed seawall in the illustration below. The MOST likely outcome of its construction is that the seawall

skad [1K]

The most likely outcome would be a.temporarily protect the cliff from beach erosion.

Here's the reason why:

As sea wall's construction material is likely to be rock, no matter it's weather-resistance, it would be weathered by different weathering agents, especially in area with relatively high rainfall and humidity. Sea water itself will also catalyse the weathering process by chemical weathering, or physical weathering such as hydraulic action or abrasion.

When the sea wall is not properly maintained or has been in use for a prolonged period, it may be worn off and no longer able to serve as a protection to the cliff.

Therefore, it is a temporary measure to protect the cliff from beach erosion.

Why the other reasons are false:

b. permanently protect the home from beach erosion.

-As mentioned, the seawall can not last forever due to weathering and erosion that can damage the sea wall, the answer is therefore false.

c. increase sediment production on the beach, decreasing the rate of erosion.

-While sea wall may indeed be weathered and produce sediments from the construction material, or slightly help the sediment to accumulate, it is unlikely that it can decrease the rate of erosion effectively.

d. deter biologic activity that might compromise the integrity of the cliff.

Although it is possible to construct a sea wall to prevent biological activity of the cliff, such as the growth of vegetation or being inhabited by creatures, which can damage the integrity of the cliff, a sea wall without proper maintenance may not be able to deter these activities. Besides, it is possible for creatures to reside or plants to grow in sea wall, thus it is not the most likely outcome.

Hope it helps!

What was the “Velvet Divorce”?

g100num [7]

Answer:

Czechoslovakia's split into two countries

Explanation:

The Velvet Divorce is a term used for the split of Czechoslovakia into two separate countries. The separation was peaceful, without violence, so it was all negotiated without any problems, with the two newly formed nations remaining in good relations. The reasons for the split were that the two parts of Czechoslovakia had different political aspirations, had different ethnic groups, and they had different opinions as two how they should develop. It is an interesting case among the Slavic nations though, as in most cases there has always been lot of bloodshed, while in this case it was all peaceful and calm.

Dora drew jkl and mnp so that k n, jk = 6, mn = 18, kl = 4, and np = 12. are jkl and mnp similar? if so, identify the similarity

Jlenok [28]

Given:
2 triangles

Triangle JKL
side 1: JK = 6
side 2: KL = 4

Triangle MNP
side 1: MN = 18
side 2: NP = 12

Two triangles are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the ratio of their corresponding sides are in proportion.

JK / KL = MN / NP
6/4 = 18/12

6*12 = 4*18
72 = 72

How hanging valleys form

Tanya [424]

Ans: waterfalls are most common where hanging valleys occur. Such valleys generally form when glacier ice deeply erodes a main or trunk valley, leaving tributary valleys literally hanging far above the main valley floor. After the glaciers have melted and withdrawn, streams from such tributary valleys must fall in order
