At the equator, the sun is directly overhead at noon on these two equinoxes. the nearly equal hours of day and night is due to the refraction of sunlight or bending of lights Ray's that causes the sun to appear above the horizon when the actual position of sun is below the horizon.

On equinox, the sun moves across the celestial equator, which lies directly above the Earth's equator. When the sun crosses the plane, it rises exactly in the east and sets exactly in the west.

Bottom line: There's slightly more day than night on the day of an equinox. That's because the sun is a disk, not a point of light, and because Earth's atmosphere refracts (bends) sunlight.

Examine the five words and/or phrases and determine the relationship among the majority of words/phrases. Choose the one option
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Abyssal Hill

Explanation:

The given words/phrases are directly related to the seafloor spreading process.

In the case of divergent plate motion, plates move in the opposite direction. Due to this, the thickness of the lithosphere decrease and with the increasing time, it results in the eruption of magma at the seafloor. In the ocean basin, these magmas erupt along the mid-oceanic ridge, and in the continental areas, it leads to the formation of a rift and later forms a rift valley.

Some of the segments of the mid-oceanic ridge in the oceans are quite gentle with no roughness along the slope and some segments are steep and rough. It occurs because of the differences in the spreading rate, and this is commonly known as oceanic rise. The rocks that are formed at the mid-oceanic ridge are the youngest of all other rocks.

The odd one here is the abyssal hill, which is formed generally at the seafloor. When the areas at the abyssal plains are comprised of large deposits of sediments forming a hill, then it is called an abyssal hill. It is not related to the seafloor spreading. It is simply a feature of the ocean floor.

ololo11 [35]

<u>Answer:</u>

Rising sea levels recorded due to melting glaciers can be considered an observable indication of global warming

<u>Explanation:</u>

The glaciers in the sea are melting due to global warming.This is occurring due to the increase in the global temperature. Year after year, higher temperatures are being recorded and this heat in turn is melting the Arctic glaciers thus adding on to the level of the oceans.

The increased temperature will also disrupt the fauna and floral life. All automobiles don't necessarily have to contribute to global warming. There exist eco-friendly automobiles as well.
