Answer:

What is the greenhouse effect?

  • The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without this atmosphere.
  • Light energy emitted by the sun warms the earth's surface, which reflects the energy as heat that warms the atmosphere. Much of the heat is captured by greenhouse gas molecules such as water, carbon dioxide, and methane.
  • Radiatively active gases (i.e., greenhouse gases) in a planet's atmosphere radiate energy in all directions. Part of this radiation is directed towards the surface, thus warming it. The intensity of downward radiation – that is, the strength of the greenhouse effect – depends on the amount of greenhouse gases that the atmosphere contains. The temperature rises until the intensity of upward radiation from the surface, thus cooling it, balances the downward flow of energy.

Levart [38]

Expand the following:

-(-3 x - 9 y - 49)

-(-49 - 3 x - 9 y) = -(-49) - -3 x - -9 y:

-(-49) - -3 x - -9 y

-(-49) = 49:

49 - -3 x - -9 y

-(-3) = 3:

49 + 3 x - -9 y

-(-9) = 9:

Answer:  49 + 3 x + 9 y

Deforestation is an especially serious problem in tropical rain forests because
ICE Princess25 [194]

Because a forest is meant to sustain life. When we destroy vast amount of trees especially in tropical forests, this is hurting the environment. Forests still cover around 30 percent of the world. It’s bad because it destroys a lot of the habitats and kills wildlife and disrupts nature! Instead of having to destroy forests for homes we have more area outside of rain forests where we won’t disrupt nature.

Hope this helped

Have a great day,

How many lines of longitude pass through the equator
Gennadij [26K]

There is no set number of "lines" of longitude.  You're free
to draw as few or as many 'lines' to mark the 360 degrees
of longitude on the Earth's surface.

However many lines you decide to draw on your map or globe,
they ALL cross the equator.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Coquina is usually defined as a sedimentary limestone rock that is found to be present in the freshwater zones and in the coastal areas. This rock is made up of broken shells that are smaller in size. The rocks can be easily broken down by the constant flowing of sea waves.  

This rock is commonly formed in the same way as the other sedimentary rocks, i.e. it is formed by the deposition of sediments carrying these organic remains and eventually undergoes the process of compaction and lithification on the seafloor.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
