Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to earth from the sun is in the form of visible light. Light is made of waves of different frequencies.

Answer: By definition, if the atomic number =
7
, then there are 7 protons, 7 electrons, and 8 neutrons!
Explanation:
The atomic number is by definition the number of protons, positively charged particles, contained within the atomic nucleus. So if there are 7 protons, there MUST be 7 electrons, 7 negatively charged particles. Why? Because matter is electrically neutral, and positive and negative particles must be equal.
Electrons have negligible mass; the mass number depends on the number of protons contained within the nucleus, PLUS the number of neutrons. Given that we have 15 N
, there must be 8 neutrons contained within the nucleus. does this help?
It is practical knowledge in the sense that we know why some parts of the world are inherently risky to live in. Even though volcanic eruptionis, earthquakes and tsunamis are difficult to predict, it makes sense to have building codes and emergency plans that take this into account.
It is science’s response to the beliefs that natural catastrophes (volcanism, earthquakes and tsunamis) are divine punishments for the evil ways of some individuals.
Even if you will never use or apply this knowledge, knowing about the theory of plate tectonics gives you a current scientific perspective on what we know about the natural world.
It is a good example of how scientific theories proceed by trying to fit several observations into a coherent explanation.
Learning about the observations that needed to be made and explained for the theory to win over scientists helps caution you against people who adopt belief systems without questioning the myths told to them, or those who try to profit from ignorance of how nature actually works.
When it is well taught, it should convince you that, like any scientific theory, plate tectonics is a “work in progress”. New discoveries continue to be made, and it takes creative and logical thinking, debate and a quest for more observations in order to determine which ones prove or challenge the current theory and which ones may lead to its refinement.
<span>The answer is (D) are k-selected.
Primates are the most K-selected among mammals. Individuals produce only a few whom
they invest a great amount of parental care. Reproductive strategies main goal
is to produce offspring and successfully rear them to adulthood.</span>
Answer:
Viruses have to invade the body of a host organism in order to replicate their particles. Therefore, most viruses are pathogenic. The main difference between bacteria and virus is that bacteria are living cells, reproducing independently and viruses are nonliving particles, requiring a host cell for their replication.
