4 0

Answer:

Because it is at least 3 locations that should be used to get an accurate location.

Explanation:

lyudmila [28]
This is false!

An important part of the Greek civilization was the island of Crete, which is not contiguous with the rest of the Peloponnese. Additionally there were other important sites of the Greek culture on other Islands in the Aegean Sea and in Turkey - we still find their ruins and remains today.

CO2 is a minor constituent in our atmosphere, with an abundance of less than 0.05% of the gases in this atmosphere. Why, then, i
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

CO₂ is one of the main green house gases on earth. A small increase in its concentration can lead to significant changes on earth. When the incoming solar radiations are incident on the earth's surface, some of the energy is absorbed by the atmosphere and the earth's surface. And some of the energy from the land surface after absorption is released into the atmosphere in the form of infrared radiations. The escaping of these radiations from earth is directly dependent on the concentration of CO₂. An increase in the amount of CO₂ will not allow these IR radiations to be removed, and this will result in the global rising of the temperature, leading to catastrophic changes.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Select the correct answer.<br> Which statement is true according to the kinetic theory?
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The true statement is that different gases with the same mass and temperature always have the same average kinetic energy. This is one of the postulates of the kinetic theory of matter.

If we two objects A and B, they will have mass mA and mB and velocity vA and vB  respectively. If K.E = 1/2mv^2 . Then it follows that

1/2mAvA = 1/2mBvB. Since the mass is the same it means the velocity of the two objects should be the same so that they have the same average kinetic energy.
