Answer:
Passive solar houses.
Explanation:
Passive solar technology is the set of techniques aimed at the use of solar energy directly, without transforming it into another type of energy, for immediate use or for storage without the need for mechanical systems or external energy input, although it can be complemented by them, for example for their regulation.
Passive solar homes work best with open floor plans--reduced partitions from main rooms to minor rooms-- to facilitate the thermosiphing movement of solar heat from the south side through the rest of the house.
The interior surfaces that the sunlight falls upon are high density (thermal mass) materials, such as concrete, brick, stone, or adobe.
Rising heat wave on the south side of the building naturally heats up the roof terrace work areas and south facing sleeping rooms during winter.
Answer:
In the ocean where new crust is being created at a divergent plate boundary.
Explanation:
The crust mainly form the bottom of the oceans which is constantly forming along the mid oceanic ridges.The mid ocean ridge is the boundary between tectonic plates and it is the place where the plates spreads apart from each other.
The hot magma in the underlying layer gradually cools down and transform into a solid form which ultimately form the new ocean crust that gradually pushed away from the ridge by more new crust.
This spreading produce upto 2-6 inches of new crust per year.
Answer:
At convergent boundaries, collisions occur as lithospheric plates move toward each other.
Explanation:
A is not correct because the movement of the tectonic plates is not driven by magnetism.
B is not correct because at this type of boundary the tectonic plates move toward each other, not slide past each other.
C is not correct because the plates move toward each other at this type of boundary, not move away from each other.
D is correct because at this type of boundary the plates move toward each other, and as they do collisions occur, resulting in the formation of mountains and subduction zones.
