Answer: b. The temperature at the Earth's center may almost equal the temperature of the Sun's surface.

Explanation:

The Earth's core is very very hot due to various factors such as heat from radioactive materials decaying and the heat the earth had when it was formed. It is estimated that the temperature here is around 5,200° C which means that it can melt even Tungsten.

This is almost equal to the surface temperature of the sun which is around 5,500° C.

liubo4ka [24]

<span>Ocean currents aid in the transportation of cold water towards the tropics and warm water towards the poles. By so doing, they help in the regulation of climate by ensuring that the uneven distribution of solar energy is counteracted. This in turn impacts on climate.</span>

The mid-latitude coastal city at the western boundary is likely to experience cool summers than they should and cool winters. On the contrary, a mid-latitude city on the eastern boundary is likely to experience a warmer weather. This mainly occurs because the two areas have different water temperatures. On the west, the gulf stream that feeds up the hurricane is usually warm as opposed to the east where ocean surface temperatures tend to be low.

Which statements describe results of the greenhouse effect?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

A. higher temperatures

C. penguins losing their natural habitat

D. rising sea levels

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect is caused by the trapping of more solar radiation on the surface of the earth than the normal level by certain gases. These gases are called greenhouse gases. Trapping solar radiation on the earth leads to increase in the earth's surface temperature. Polar ice begins to melt and more water is added to the ocean which can lead to rising sea levels and flooding of coastal cities. Ice caps will significantly diminish. As we know penguins are known to inhabit cold climates around the southern pole, if the polar ice in this region melts, their habitat becomes threatened.

Which of the following goods did not
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The tomatoes didn't come from the Old World during The Columbian Exchange.

Explanation:

During the time of The Columbian Exchange, thousands of goods found their way across the Atlantic, be it from one side or the other. This was very beneficial for both sides, with the Old World and the New World getting goods that imporoved the lives of the people. One of the most popular and nowadays among the most used goods, the tomato, came from the New World and was introduced in the Old World.

The tomatoes originated as a wild plant in the Andes, on the territories of modern-day Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. The people living in this region saw their potential and started to cultivate them, and seeing what a delight they are, other people from other parts of the New World started to cultivate them as well. The people of the Old World though were skeptical about the tomatoes initially and were not very fond of them, and they even thought that when they start to go red they are getting spoiled. Over time, this changed as people saw that they have a wonderful food product, so the tomato became one of the most popular goods.
