There are three types of fossil fuels: Oil, coal and gas.

Let's look into their formation one by one:

Oil: Dead plankton such as microorganisms and plants was buried under the sea million years ago, it accumulate over time to become oil, also known as petroleum,

Coal: Plants were dead and broken down by bacteria over time, carbon dioxide and methane were produced. After million years, the dead flora accumulated to become peat and undergone compaction, becoming coal.

Gas: This is formed along oil, and again produced by dead organisms. It is mostly formed during decomposition, and mostly made up of methane.

Hope it helps!

Question 6 1 pts What is the angular resolution of a 2.0 m telescope observing at a wavelength of 650 nm? Choose the closest ans
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The angular resolution formula,

Sin A= 0.25 (Wavelength ÷ Diameter)

where, wavelength is taken in micrometer and diameter is in meter.

Here, wavelength (W)= 650 nm = 0.65 μm (converting nanometer into micrometer)

Diameter= 2 m

now, according to the formula,

\sin A=0.25\times [\dfrac{wavelength}{diameter}]\\\\\sin A=0.25\times \dfrac{0.65\ \mu m}{2\ m}\\\\\sin A=0.08125''\\\\\sin A\approx 0.082''

Thus, the correct answer is option (C) i.e. 0.082 arc second.

4. The theory of landscape geography is important because it helps to identify, recognize and analyze the factors that lead to changes in the natural landscape. The results obtained from the study of the impacts on landscape can then be used to remedy the situation.
5. Environmental determinism refers to the study of how physical environments affect the culture and social life of the people in a society.
An argument that can be made against environmental determinism is that its claims are based on mere beliefs which can not really be proven, thus it more of a pseudoscience view.
