Answer:
The best answer to the question: The greenhouse effect is driven by the fact that greenhouse gases are:___, would be: Good absorbers of radiation at all wavelengths.
Explanation:
Under normal circumstances, the Earth receives energy from the sun and also produces a bit of its own energy. The energy that arrives from the sun is usually known as shortwave radiation, while the energy that is both absorbed by the Earth´s atmosphere, and the energy produced by Earth itself, becomes part of what is known as the longwave radiation. Greenhouse gases, like water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane trap both longwave and shortwave radiation, which should usually be expelled to a certain extent towards space, and maintain them trapped inside the atmosphere. This bouncing effect between the shield created by the gases and the lower atmosphere, should normally be controlled by the amount of atoms of gases in the higher atmosphere. However, in the greenhouse effect, what is happening is that the amount of gases is too high, and therefore they are trapping most of the radiation, both longwave and shortwave, and keeping it in, allowing the climate to warm up.
Answer: Pangea at the time was very cold because as we know today, South America is hot. If they have the same glacial deposits, that means it must have been very cold at one point of Earth's history.
The answer is D! Hope that helped
Answer: 5am on Sunday, May 3rd.
Explanation:
Plane left at 12pm and takes 17 hours.
Add 12 and 17:
= 12 + 17
= 29
There are 24 hours in a day. The number of hours into the next day is therefore:
= 29 - 24
= 5 hours
If the plan arrives 5 hours into the next day, that would mean that it arrived at 5am. Date of the next day is May 3rd, a Sunday.
