Nuclear materials, water, and fossil fuels are used to produce __________ in Russia. A. Electricity B. Drinking water C. Automob
never [62]

The correct answer is - A. Electricity.

Russia is a country that has an abundance of natural resources, and it uses them in order to produce its own electricity, and does it multiple ways. As one of the countries that has developed nuclear programs from long time ago, Russia has also used this technology in order to build nuclear reactors for the production of electricity. Also, the country has numerous rivers that are very large in every aspect, so lots of hydroelectric capacities have been built in the dams for production of electricity. The fossil fuels are also used on a big scale, and the usage of coal and mazut in the generators for producing electricity is still big.

In another solar system, we discover two Jovian moons that have very different levels of volcanism. Propose three hypotheses tha
ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei discovered four of Jupiter's moons , in year 1610 . Now these are known as Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Io is innermost of these four moons and one of the most volcanically active planetary object still discovered. These moons are very much different from any other planetary body in every respect. The Voyager spacecraft pictures show that the surface of the moon io is completely covered by volcanoes and lavas rather being covered by pitts and craters. this gives the surface a very young look. The main cause of the intense volcanic activity found out here is the strong gravitational force created at the center of the moon from the Jupiter and Europa. Due to the synchronous rotation with Jupiter, solid materials at the surface of io bulges up just like the tidal motions of the oceanic water in the case of Earth. This repeated bulging causes the materials to get hitted up in a manner similar to repeatedly stretching and smashing a clay ball or rubber band. This enormous amount of heat generated in the process melts rock materials at depth and results in widespread volcanisms.

Hypotheses to explain different levels of volcanism:

a) This is very much evident that the volcanic activity is largely driven by the gravitational forces of the Jupiter. If the moons are at different distances from the large planet then the gravitational pull will be also varying for the moons and this will cause differential amount and types of volcanic activity at the moon's surface.

b) In case of io, the moon is largely made up of iron and iron sulphide core and a silicate outer surface. This silicate outer surface of the moon melts down to create the widespread volcanic activity. In case of Europa the outer surface is made up of vast quantity of water and ice. So there is lesser chance of volcanic activity in this moon. So the volcanic activity is greatly controlled by the lithological composition of the moon.

c) There is a vast amount of sulphur present at the interior of io which gets degassed and comes to the surface to create the fierce nature of the volcanisms. These gases are essential for a violent volcanism, and controls the nature and level of volcanism.

How does the altitude of the Sun at noon on the same day in the Northern Hemisphere’s summer compare for two observers at lati-
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

It is 42° higher for the observer at 12° north because of the differ- ence in latitude.

Explanation:

The sun's altitude can be given by the following formula:

S = 90 - L + D

In which S is the sun's altitude, L is the latitude of the place and D is the declination of the sun.

Since the comparasion occurs at the same day, the value of D will be the same for both cases, so it can be disconsidered in our calculation.

First observer

L = 12

S = 90 - L + D = 90 - L = 90 - 12 = 78

Second observer:

L = 54

S = 90 - L + D = 90 - L = 90 - 54 = 36

The correct answer is:

It is 42° higher for the observer at 12° north because of the differ- ence in latitude.
