We know that inside the Earth's crust there are two more layers, i.e., mantle and crust. In mantle, there are many molten rocks, they are in liquid like form. When this moves or <em>flow </em>then the continental plates move too.

15. What is the solar altitude on the 4th of July in Washington, D.C., at latitude 39"N? a.22.7 b.73.7 c.23.5 d.51° e.90° 16. Th

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

answer 15 correct option is b. 73.7°

answer 16 correct option is с. 47°

Explanation:

we know that on 4th july Northen hemisphere have summer and Washington, D.C also in Northen hemisphere

and sun present at 23.5° latitude

so latitude of sun is calculate as given figure below

= 90° - ( 39° - 23.5° )

= 74.5°

so correct option is b.73.7

this difference if because we take latitude 23.5° that is approx on 24 july

but july 4 latitude will be some low

and

we know during summer declination angle is + 23.5 in N.H.

and during winder declination angle is - 23.5 in N.H.

and at spring and autumn sun is at equator

the declination angle change is

declination angle change = 27.5 + 27.5 = 47°
