1. Suppose you go to the beach in the morning on a sunny summer day. Explain the rate at which thermal energy is absorbed by the

water, sand, and air during the day.
2. Explain why the flow of energy between air and sand is different than that between air and water as thermal energy is absorbed from day to night.

3. As the Sun begins to set, predict the effect on the rate at which the air, water, and sand cool

4. Explain why the flow of energy between air and sand is different than that between air and water as thermal energy is RELEASED.

Answer:

1. During the day, the sun heats up both the ocean surface and the land. Water is a good absorber of the energy from the sun. The land absorbs much of the sun’s energy as well. However, water heats up much more slowly than land and so the air above the land will be warmer compared to the air over the ocean.

2.The air over the ocean is now warmer than the air over the land. The land loses heat quickly after the sun goes down and the air above it cools too. This can be compared to a blacktop road. During the day, the blacktop road heats up and becomes very hot to walk on. At night, however, the blacktop has given up the added heat and is cool to the touch. The ocean, however, is able to hold onto this heat after the sun sets and not lose it as easily. This causes the low surface pressure to shift to over the ocean during the night and the high surface pressure to move over the land. This causes a small temperature gradient between the ocean surface and the nearby land at night and the wind will blow from the land to the ocean creating the land breeze.

3. The sand should both heat and cool faster than the water. This is because water has a higher specific heat ca- pacity than sand – meaning that it takes a lot of heat, or energy, to raise the temperature of water one degree, whereas it takes comparatively little energy to change the temperature of sand by one degree.

Answer: Homeostasis

Our body temperature stays constant no matter the changes that may occur in the outer environment - for example, a hot summer afternoon or a cold winter morning. This is an example of homeostasis

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment. Hence, the body maintains a stable temperature, ph level, water-salt balance etc, necessary for healthy development based on the effects of the hormonal and nervous systems.

Which fossil occurs on the most landmasses what does this suggest about when the continents broke up
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Glossopteris and Lystrosaurus

Explanation:

Glossopteris is an ancient plant flora and Lystrosaurus is a fossil fauna, and both are found in many of the landmasses on earth. The Glossopteris flora appeared about 300 to 200 million years back and the Lystrosaurus appeared about 250 million years back on earth. They both existed from the time of late Permian to early Triassic age.

Both these fossils played an important role in understanding the continental drift theory or the plate tectonic theory. This evidence enabled geologists to understand how the continents have moved across the large ocean basin from one place to another and at what rate they are drifting currently. It helped in understanding how the super-continent Pangaea had broken into Laurasia and Gondwanaland, and further broken into the present location of the plates.

Which of the following is an organism whose cells each contain a membrane<br> bound nucleus?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

D. Eukaryote

Explanation:

An organism that has membrane-bound organelles will have more complex organelles like mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and ER. These are known as Eukaryotes. Additionally, they will have a nucleus that has the DNA coiled inside. Prokaryotes do not have membrane-bound organelle and the DNA floats in the cytoplasm. Most plants and animals are eukaryotes and all multicellular organisms are too.
