Answer;

-Thermosphere

Explanation;

-The thermosphere lies between the exosphere and the mesosphere.It is a region of increasing temperature in Earth’s atmosphere that is located above the mesosphere.

-The thermosphere greatly helps in protecting the earth and making space exploration and modern forms of communication possible. It also supports and protects life on the planet. It recycles water, absorbs the sun's energy, and creates a moderate temperature.

-The aurora (Northern Lights and Southern Lights) mostly occur in the thermosphere.  It is a  natural electrical phenomenon characterized by the appearance of streamers of reddish or greenish light in the sky, especially near the northern or southern magnetic pole. The effect is caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with atoms in the upper atmosphere.

Why are the decomposers categorized as consumers? how do they differ from producers
QveST [7]
Hi! Decomposers (mainly soil bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate)<span /> are categorized as consumers due to the fact that they consume dead organic matter such as plants and animals. They differ from producers (green plants and some bacteria) because they do not produce their own food using photosynthesis or chemosythensis.
Hope this helped!

Which bright solar feature is shown in the picture above?
Ghella [55]

Answer : (B) Prominence

Explanation :

A large, glittering and gaseous characteristic which is extending outward from the surface of the sun is called <em>Prominence</em>.

<em>Photosphere</em> is one of the layer of sun where the prominence are anchored and then they move into the corona of the sun.

<em>Corona</em> is a region in the surface of the sun which is the constituent of hot ionized gases (plasma).

The prominence consists of colder plasma and this prominence plasma is much more shining and denser as compared to coronal plasma.

Hence, the correct option is (B) Prominence.

Explain the difference between the terms "rotation" and "revolution"
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

"Rotation" refers to an object's spinning motion about its own axis. "Revolution" refers the object's orbital motion around another object. For example, Earth rotates on its own axis, producing the 24-hour day. Earth revolves about the Sun, producing the 365-day year.

An astronaut holds a rock 100m above the surface of Planet X. The rock is then thrown upward with a speed of 15m/s, as shown in
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The acceleration due to gravity of the planet X is 1 m/s².

The given parameters;

  • height above the ground, h = 100 m
  • initial velocity of the rock, u = 15 m/s
  • time of motion of the rock, t = 10 s

The acceleration due to gravity is calculated as follows;

h = ut - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\100 = 15(10) - (0.5\times 10^2)g\\\\100 = 150 - 50g\\\\50g = 150-100\\\\50g = 50\\\\g = 1 \ m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity of the planet X is 1 m/s²

If the caffeine concentration in a particular brand of soda is 2.97 mg/oz, 2.97 mg/oz, drinking how many cans of soda would be l
Ray Of Light [21]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

     Concentration of caffeine = 2.97 mg/oz

     Number of oz in a can = 12 oz

Therefore, the concentration of caffeine in one can is calculated as follows.

                 = (12 \times 2.97) mg

                 = 35.64 mg

                 = 35.64 \times 10^{-3} g

Since, it is given that lethal dose is 10.0 g. Hence, number of cans are calculated as follows.

     No. of cans = \frac{\text{Lethal dose}}{\text{concentration in one can}}

                         = \frac{10 g}{35.64 \times 10^{-3} g}

                         = 280.58

                         = 281 (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that 281 cans of soda would be lethal.
