17. An igloo, or snow hut, is a type of shelter built out of snow traditionally used only by the people of Canada's Central Arct

ic and Greenland's Thule area. Conduct research to find the specific heat capacity values of the materials that igloos are built from. Then explain whether these are an efficient choice for design of a home in colder climates.

Answer is given below:

Explanation:

  • Igloo is made with ice. The normal heat of ice is 2108 J / kg K.
  • Since ice is a good insulator of heat, it maintains body heat inside the igloo. This causes the temperature to rise from the outside.
  • The shape of the dome of the igloo is less resistant to wind.
  • It is therefore an effective alternative to home design.

If you compress geologic time into a single year, how much time has elapsed since Columbus arrived in the New World?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer: 3.6 seconds

Explanation: Geologic time is a way of measuring time based on events in the history of the Earth. If we compress this into one year, a single geologic year equals 4.6 billion years because the planet  was formed 4.6 billion years ago.  

Columbus arrived in the New World in August 1492, 528 years ago.

If 4.6 billion years = 1 year in geologic time,

528 years = 528 X  \frac{1X365daysX24hoursX60minutesX60seconds}{4600000000}

=3.6 seconds

<em>(I broke the year down into seconds by breaking it down into days, then hours, minutes and seconds because the value is very small)</em>

<em />

<em>So, if we compress geologic time into a single year, only 3.6 seconds have elapsed since Columbus arrived in the New World</em>
