An elephant lives in a grassland area.

Geography
1 answer:
Lunna [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The Asian elephant is the largest land mammal on the Asian continent. They inhabit dry to wet forest and grassland habitats in 13 range countries spanning South and Southeast Asia. While they have preferred forage plants, Asian elephants have adapted to surviving on resources that vary based on the area.

Asian elephants are extremely sociable, forming groups of six to seven related females that are led by the oldest female, the matriarch. Like African elephants, these groups occasionally join others to form larger herds, although these associations are relatively short-lived. In Asia, elephant herd sizes are significantly smaller than those of savannah elephants in Africa.

More than two-thirds of an elephant's day may be spent feeding on grasses, but it also eats large amounts of tree bark, roots, leaves, and small stems. Cultivated crops such as bananas, rice, and sugarcane are favorite foods. Elephants are always close to a source of fresh water because they need to drink at least once a day.

In Asia, humans have had close associations with elephants over many centuries, and elephants have become important cultural icons. According to Hindu mythology, the gods (deva) and the demons (asura) churned the oceans in a search for the elixir of life so that they would become immortal. As they did so, nine jewels surfaced, one of which was the elephant. In Hinduism, the powerful deity honored before all sacred rituals is the elephant-headed Lord Ganesha, who is also called the Remover of Obstacles.

Our current best estimate is that the western Grand Canyon in Arizona began to be excavated by riser erosion about 6 million yea
katovenus [111]

Answer:

0.267mm/yr

7.25 mm

Explanation:

Given the following:

Estimated time since erosion began = 6 million years

Greatest depth of canyon = about 1.6km

The mean rate of erosion in millimeter per year:

Mean rate = Depth of canyon / time

Depth of canyon in millimeter:

1 km = 1000000 mm

1.6km = (1.6 × 1000000) = 1,600,000 mm

Mean rate = 1,600,000mm/ 6,000,000 years

Mean rate = 0.26666 mm/yr

Mean rate = 0.267 mm/year

B.) If rate of erosion = 0.267mm/yr

Date of birth = 30 / 10 / 1992

Today's date = 5 / 9 / 2020

Date difference = 27 years 55 days

Total number of days = (27 *365) + 55 = 9,910 days

Rate of erosion per day = 0.267 / 365 = 0.0007315 mm / day

Change in depth from date of birth till today:

0.0007315 mm/day × 9,910 days

= 7.2492328 mm

= 7.25 mm deeper

Select the reasons why most professional telescopes are reflectors rather than refractors.
Julli [10]

Answer:

d). It is easier to make a large reflecting telescope than a large refracting telescope.

f). A reflector can collect more light than a refractor.

Explanation:

A telescope is a device that is used to observe distant objects by the use of lenses and mirrors. It is also used to observe different distant objects by their reflection, absorption, emission or the reflection of the electromagnetic radiations.

Most of the professional telescopes are reflectors because :

1. The reflected telescope is able to receive more of the light when it reflects all the light falling on surface. And it is easier for making a large telescope rather then making large lenses for the refracting telescope. So it is easier to make large reflecting telescope than a large refracting telescope.

2. A reflected telescope receives all the wavelength of the light and it reflects all the light falling on the surfaces where it is refracted telescope that contains lenses cannot absorbs all the light and causes the chromatic aberration.
