Description
Geothermal heating is the direct use of geothermal energy for some heating applications. ... Geothermal energy originates from the heat retained within the Earth since the original formation of the planet, from radioactive decay of minerals, and from solar energy absorbed at the surface

Geothermal heating is the direct use of geothermal energy for some heating applications. Humans have taken advantage of geothermal heat this way since the Paleolithic era. Approximately seventy countries made direct use of a total of 270 PJ of geothermal heating in 2004. As of 2007, 28 GW of geothermal heating capacity is installed around the world, satisfying 0.07% of global primary energy consumption. Thermal efficiency is high since no energy conversion is needed, but capacity factors tend to be low (around 20%) since the heat is mostly needed in the winter.

Where on earth would physical weathering from temperature changes be most common and least common ?
Leviafan [203]
In general, physical weathering from temperature changes is most common on the shorelines, because waves are able to take down rocks that have been weathers. They would be least noticeable inland, in desert areas with little forestation.

Find the perimeter of the polygon with the vertices UC - 2, 4), V(3, 4), and W(3. – 4).
sesenic [268]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>Find the perimeter of the polygon with the vertices UC - 2, 4), V(3, 4), and W(3. – 4).</em>

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>this is a right triangle, where one angle is 90 degrees. Two sides are perpendicular to each other. </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>U to V have the same y values so the distance is the difference in x values or 3 - (-2) = 5 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>V to W have the same x values, so the distance is the difference in y values or 4-(-4) = 8 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>U to W is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, = sqr(sum of squares of the other 2 sides) = sqr(25+64)=sqr(89) </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Perimeter = sum of the 3 sides = 5 + 8 + sqr(89) = 13 + sqr89 = 13 + 9.44 = 22.44 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>81 is 9 squared.  100 is 10 squared.  91 is about 9.5 squared.  Rounded to 2 decimal places, it's 9.44 </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>It might help if you plot the 3 points on a graph. That makes it clear you're dealing with a right triangle. </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Or if you want, you could have used the distance formula on all 3 sides, but it simplifies to the above. </em>

<em> </em>
