Explain the process of compass points (direction of flow of rivers)​

Geography
1 answer:
ValentinkaMS [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The direction of rivers are usually expressed with respect to the directions we are familiar with: North, South, East or West.

A river has an origin, usually at a higher latitude and ends at the sea or ocean or a large water body. Gravity is the driving force for river flow. Hence, we gauge the ‘direction’ the water is going to flow for any river.

If we were going to get more technical, flow in rivers and streams are measured for their streamflow, which is the amount of water passing through some infinitesmal volume, i.e a point over time. The velocity of the water is determined using acoustic/Doppler based instruments, which will give the local direction of the flow of the river at the measured point along with the velocity.

Hope the answer helps!

ad-work [718]

Answer:

So the wavelength of light is 1015.7 nm

Explanation:

From Wein's displacement law, we can write the following formula;

\lambda _{MAX}\times T=K here, \lambda _{MAX} is the wavelength of maximum radiation in meters

T is the absolute temperature (in Kelvin) for maximum radiation

K is the constant has a value of 2.898\times 10^{-3}m-kelvin

Given here,  T = 2853 K

And we need to find  \lambda _{MAX}

Putting the values in formula

\lambda _{max}\times 2853=2.898\times 10^{-3}

\lambda _{max}=1.0157\times 10^{-6}m

\lambda _{max}=1015.7\times 10^{-9}m=1015.7nm

10<br>List three uses for natural gas.<br>(3 Points)​
dlinn [17]

Answer:

1) USING GAS IN THE HOME

2) USE IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR

3) TRANSPORTATION

Explanation:

Aside from electricity, the residential sector of society uses natural gas to heat up buildings, water, cook meals, and dry clothing. Pretty much anything that needs to be done in the home or commercial building that involves heat, is able to get done thanks to the production of natural gas.

Antifreeze , Plastics,  Pharmaceuticals,  Fabrics,  Ammonia,  Methanol , Ethane,  Propane

According to studies, vehicles that utilized natural gasses emitted 60-90 percent less smog-producing pollutants and 30-40 percent less in greenhouse gas emissions.  Also, with its production and distribution within the United States, the cost for its use in transportation vehicles is substantially less than the gas that is imported from other nations.
