Answer:

True

Explanation:

When a skydiver jumps out of an airplane, the force of gravity is larger than air resistance. So the skydriver accelerates as he falls. Air resistance force increases with speed. When the sky driver achieve terminal velocity, the force of gravity equals air resistance.

Write one paragraph (5-8 sentences) on your thoughts about whether it is better to consume local products or to consume global p

jasenka [17]

In my opinion, I find it better to consume local products rather than global products. I say this because I believe it’s good to support your local community instead of a global company that’s already big. Local products are probably less transported into places meaning there is a low risk of it being infectious.

Which type of plate boundary is most closely associated with the formation of new ocean floor? which type of plate boundary is m

Maru [420]

The appropriate answer is B. DIVERGENT. Divergent margins occur where two oceanic plates are pulling apart or it can occur where a Continental landmass is pulling apart.

As oceanic plates pull apart magma up wells from the mantle and new crust is formed along what is called a spreading ridge. The Mid Alantic ridge is an example of a spreading ridge where new oceanic crust is being formed.

A flood plain has the potential to flood. Why is this a problem?

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

A. flood damage is extremely costly due to homes and businesses being built on the flood plain

Explanation:

Floodplain is a waterfront region that is flooded during floods. These areas are very suitable for agriculture due to soil fertility. Such areas develop over the gutter of a valley filled with alluvial soil, over which meanders meander due to the low slope of the river course, which, in flood times, spills over its original bank and floods the adjacent region.

Flooding in this region is natural, but because of the increase in population and the need for expansion of cities, many houses and industries needed to be built in the plains of inunction. In this case, the floods cause a major problem because they cause damage to homes and industries. These losses cause often incalculable economic and emotional damage.

PLEASE HELP What is the evidence of earth being made of matter that is constantly changing?

Alik [6]

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER BRO

I HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU.

This graph, based on the comparison of atmospheric samples contained in ice cores and more recent direct measurements, provides evidence that atmospheric CO2 has increased since the Industrial Revolution. (Credit: Luthi, D., et al.. 2008; Etheridge, D.M., et al. 2010; Vostok ice core data/J.R. Petit et al.; NOAA Mauna Loa CO2 record.) Find out more about ice cores (external site).

The Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 11,700 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives.

Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal.

- Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely likely (greater than 95 percent probability) to be the result of human activity since the mid-20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over decades to millennia.1

Earth-orbiting satellites and other technological advances have enabled scientists to see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate on a global scale. This body of data, collected over many years, reveals the signals of a changing climate.

The heat-trapping nature of carbon dioxide and other gases was demonstrated in the mid-19th century.2 Their ability to affect the transfer of infrared energy through the atmosphere is the scientific basis of many instruments flown by NASA. There is no question that increased levels of greenhouse gases must cause the Earth to warm in response.

Ice cores drawn from Greenland, Antarctica, and tropical mountain glaciers show that the Earth’s climate responds to changes in greenhouse gas levels. Ancient evidence can also be found in tree rings, ocean sediments, coral reefs, and layers of sedimentary rocks. This ancient, or paleoclimate, evidence reveals that current warming is occurring roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming.3

## The evidence for rapid climate change is compelling:

Global Temperature Rise :-

The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit (0.9 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere.4 Most of the warming occurred in the past 35 years, with the six warmest years on record taking place since 2014. Not only was 2016 the warmest year on record, but eight of the 12 months that make up the year — from January through September, with the exception of June — were the warmest on record for those respective months.
