Answer:

A metamorphic rock.

Explanation:

The metamorphic rocks are transformed from the existing rock types. They change with the changes in pressure and temperature. They cover large parts of the earth's crust make up 12% of the earth.

They are made by tectonic processes such as continental collision. That leads to horizontal pressure and distortions some examples may include the gneiss, marble, slate, schist, and quartzite.

klasskru [66]

$\Large{\underline{\boxed{\mathfrak \pink{Question:-}}}}$

Global climate change is most likely the result of _______. Environmental issues: Select the best answer from the choices provided.

A. Increased carbon dioxide in the air.

B. Diminishing natural resources.

C. Decreased Oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

D. Biodiversity.

$\Large{\underline{\boxed{\mathfrak \pink{Answer:-}}}}$

$\normalsize\star\textsf{Correct \: Option:-}$

$\qquad\bullet$ Option"A" is correct: Increase in Carbon dioxide in Air.

$\normalsize\star\textsf{Related \: Questions:-}$

a.) <u>How</u><u> </u><u>global climate change is related to the increase of carbon dioxide </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>Air</u><u> </u><u>?</u>

$\qquad\bullet$ The Increase of Carbon dioxide in Air results in increase of Global warming(Green house effect).

$\qquad\bullet$ Green house effect : A building mostly made of glass for growing or shelter in the delicate plant is called greenhouse. the glass walls of greenhouse allows sun rays to pass through the interior.However, reflected back infrared rays are not allowed to escape through the glass walls. Carbon dioxide gas and water vapours present inside the glass house further trap the heat and make the greenhouse warmer than the outside air.

$\qquad\bullet$ The atmosphere cover around the earth ,acts similar to the glass walls of greenhouse. the air cover solar radiation to pass through it to the Earth’s surface, and prevent the long wave infrared radiation to escape into the space.Gases such as Carbondioxide,Nitrogen oxide,CFCs,ozone are the Greenhouse gases and among all of them "Carbon dioxide" is the most important gas.These greenhouse gases trap the heat reflected by the earth.

$\qquad\bullet$ The heating up of the atmosphere leads to an increase in Earth's temperature.This phenomenon is called " Global warming or Green house effect.

b.) <u>What</u><u> </u><u>are</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>effects of </u><u>G</u><u>lobal warming</u><u>?</u>

$\qquad\bullet$ Increase in earth temperature will cause a change in weather and precipitation patterns on the earth.

$\qquad\bullet$ As we know the fact that " An increase of less as 1°C in Earth's temperature can lead to melting of polar ice caps and consequent rise in sea level".The sudden rise of sea level can submerge a number of major cities of the world which are located along the coasts.

$\qquad\bullet$ Global warming poses a threat of recurrence of "Dust Bowl condition of 1930's".Dust Bowl is an area where vegetation has been lost and soil reduced to dust making it suspectable to erosion.

$\qquad\bullet$ One of major danger of global warming is " Methane burp"which is caused by the melting of Methane hydrates in permafrost of polar ice caps & on the sea floor.

Why would it be important for a country to be the first to reach outer space?

Ghella [55]

<u>Answer:</u>

Space exploration is addressing the outer space, its about exploring the universe and finding an answer to some unanswered questions.

For any country to be the first to reach outer space is a proud moment. It helps them to expand their technology, it helps them to promote connection with countries of the world.

For example, United States was the first county who put the first man, Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin into the space. This was the great achievement for United States. Their connections with other powerful countries grew.

And which is why it is important for a country to be the first to reach outer space not only to achieve success, but also so that they can provide the world with new information, and details about the outer space.

Three people hiked to the top of the hill represented by the following topographic map. Each hiker started at the same elevation

disa [49]

Based on the map given, the following are true:

Each hiker began at 180 feet.
The hiker with the easiest path was Hiker C.
The total change in elevation was 84 meters.

<h3>What does the map show?</h3>

Hikers A, B, and C all started at the contour line denoting 180 feet so they all started at a height of 180 feet.

Hiker C had the easiest path up the hill because the spacing of the contour lines shows that their path was not as steep as the paths taken by Hikers A and B.

The change in elevation for Hiker A is:

= Height of mountain - Original height

= 264 - 180

= 84 meters
