Answer:

570 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of sound is a measure of how fast sound travels through a medium. The speed of sound through various media varies. Sound travels fastest through solids and slowest through gases for example air.

The temperature of a medium affects the speed of sound through that medium. The higher the temperature, the faster sound travels through the medium. This is because, as the temperature of the medium increases, the particles of the medium vibrates faster and faster, thus sound waves are able to be propagated faster through that medium.

From the information provided in the attachment, the speed of sound through the boulder increase by 2 m/s for every 5°C rise in temperature. Therefore, the speed of sound through the boulder when it reaches 20°C will be 570 m/s

How is there a day without clouds

mixer [17]

Clouds are formed when the sun heats water on the ground/ocean. This water evaporates, or becomes the gas form of water known as water vapor. ... This is a constant process, and therefore there can be no days with absolutely no clouds in the sky.

Which of the following happens at mid-ocean ridges and is essential for the process of plate tectonics being able to continue?

Alexxandr [17]

Mid-ocean ridge. A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.

Differentiate between global warming and the green house effect. What gases are responsible for both?

Alona [7]

Answer:

Global Warming is simply the long-term rise in temperature of the Earth's core, which inevitably would effect the climate systems of the Earth.

The Green House Effect is the natural process that warms the Earths surface.

Explanation:

The Green House Effect--> When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, some of it is reflected back into space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by the greenhouse gases.
