PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Solar heat absorbed through windows and roofs increases cooling costs, and incorpor

ating shade trees helps reduce this heat gain. Shading and transpiration (the process by which a plant actively moves and releases water vapor) from trees can reduce surrounding air temperatures by as much as 6° F. Because cool air settles near the ground, air temperatures directly under trees can be as much as 25°F cooler than those above nearby blacktop surfaces.
Designing landscapes for effective use of trees requires knowledge of the size, shape, and location of the moving tree’s shadow. To provide continuous shade or to block heavy winds, use dense evergreen trees or shrubs. To block solar heat in the summer but to let much of it in during the winter, use deciduous trees. Planting deciduous trees with high, spreading crowns (i.e., leaves and branches) to the south side of a home provides maximum summertime roof shading. Trees with crowns lower to the ground are more appropriate to the west, where shade is needed from lower afternoon sun angles.

To ensure lasting performance of energy-saving landscaping, use plant species that are adapted to the local climate. Native species, those which occur naturally in the area, are valued for their hardiness. Because they have thrived in that climate over time without human intervention, they require little maintenance once established and avoid the dangers of invasive species.

Planting trees properly is critical to the long-term success of your energy-conservation project and can raise your property value by up to five percent. Start by selecting the location for your planting. This will dictate the mature size of the tree and its needed planting space. Make sure you purchase a quality tree with a healthy root system (10 inches of container width per inch of trunk diameter at six inches above the soil line). Dig the hole to the depth of the root ball, and no deeper. Use native soil to backfill and wood chips for mulch. Staking should not be needed unless the trunk is over three inches in diameter.

Based on the documents shown, hardiness refers to the:

a)average trunk strength of the tree species.
b)likelihood that the tree will grow well.
c)average crown diameter of the tree species.
d)likelihood that the tree will provide the needed shade.
e)percentage of solar heat absorbed by the tree.

A man is rushed to the hospital after an injury that severely damaged his hippocampus. What kinds of problems might he expect du
myrzilka [38]
It will result in a anterograde amnesia: Loss of ability to form new memories, although older memories may be safe. But, someone who sustains an injury to the hippocampus may have good memory of his/her childhood and the years before the injury, but relatively little memory for anything that happened since.

I hope this helps :)

Which factor served as an informal assessment of the water quality in Lake
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

C. Its smell

Explanation:

Evaluation of water quality is an overall assessment method of the chemical and physical characteristics of water, while monitoring of water quality is the gathering of the necessary information. The whole process focuses on the entire process of evaluation, in diverse areas of water channels. Most of the parameters about the quality of water can are tested by using portable test kits at the site or laboratory. However, an informal assessment can be done by the smell of the water, as is the case in the question.

how did the increased flow of silver in the early modern era impact different countries around the world?​
nignag [31]

many scholars consider the silver trade to mark the beginning of a genuinely global economy, with one historian noting that silver "went round the world and made the world go round."Although global, much of that silver ended up in the hands of the Chinese, as they accepted it as a form of currency.In addition to the global economic changes the silver trade engendered, it also put into motion a wide array of political transformations in the early modern era. "New World mines," concluded several prominent historians "supported the Spanish empire," acting as a linchpin of the Spanish economy.
