3 0

Answer:

An independent state consisting of a city and its surrounding territory is called a city-state.

Explanation:

There are multiple types of independent states, and there are mutliple criteriums on which the definitions are made. A big portion of the smallest states, which are also very interesting, tend to fall into the category of city-states. This type of state is basically when one major city and its close surrounding territory make up the whole state.

Such states are nothing new, as they have existed since the development of the first civilization in Mesopotamia, through antiquity with the Greek and Phoenician city-states being an example, the Italian city-states during the Middle Ages, etc. Nowadays, there are still states of this type, and good examples are Monaco, Andora, Vatikan, and San Marino.

Choose the most correct scenario for a sunny summer afternoon at a parking lot.
vitfil [10]

Answer:

D. Solar radiation heats the asphalt; the air immediately above is heated through conduction; the warm air rises in free convection.

Explanation:

As the parking lot is exposed to the sun, on a sunny afternoon, we can consider that the sun is radiating with high intensity in this environment, causing the asphalt to be strongly heated. In this case, the air that comes in contact with the asphalt ends up being heated, because the heat of the asphalt is transmitted by the air through the process called conduction, which is the heat transmitted by the agitation of the molecules.

The heated air becomes less dense, that is, it becomes lighter and this causes it to rise, while the cold air is more dense and descends, coming into contact with hot asphalt and also heating up. In that case, a heat transfer called convection occurred.
