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.

The color contrast between the open ocean and the lagoon between the spit and the mainland. The greater concentration of suspend
Marrrta [24]

The correct answer is - all of these contributed.

The sediments in the lagoons come from multiple different sources. The rivers and streams from the mainland, the sediments brought by the wind, and even the ocean waves that manage to get over the spit occasionally.

The biggest influence in the deposition of the sediments in the lagoons though is by the rivers and the streams from the mainland. They carry sediments with them constantly, and the amount of those sediments is also on a high level, in fact they bring in so much sediments that they have actually built the lagoon itself.

The wind and the ocean waves that manage to get over the spit have much lesser influence in the total deposition of sediments, but still they do in some part, and it shouldn't be put aside.

The combination of the three different sources, with different types of sediments brought to the lagoon by each of them, gives the lagoons a beautiful and unique appearance.

Evaluate the extent to which United States foreign policy in the period from 1970 to 1991 contributed to the end of the Cole War
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The Kennedy and Johnson administrations advocated a "flexible response" to containing communism, supporting a failed attempt by Cuban exiles to overthrow Fidel Castro, issuing a naval blockade with the threat of nuclear weapons during the Cuban Missile Crisis and deploying troops to prevent the spread of communism in South Vietnam, a decade-long struggle that caused domestic turmoil in the U.S. Containment also took place in more subtle ways. In the 1970s, President Nixon attempted to ease tensions with the Soviet Union. Nixon visited communist China and engaged in several diplomatic meetings with the Soviet leader. By the end of the decade, tensions once again escalated as the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. When President Reagan took office he denounced the Soviet Union as the "Evil Empire" and dramatically increased military budgets in an attempt to "win" the Cold War. Despite Reagan's contentious rhetoric, tensions between the two superpowers calmed in the late 1980s. Soviet leader adopted friendly relations with the west and instituted liberal domestic reforms through glasnost and perestroika. Reagan, Gorbachev, and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher met repeatedly to find common ground as the decade came to a close. In the end, the struggling Soviet economy led to the end of the Cold War. Weakened, the Soviets lost control of much of Eastern Europe by 1990. The fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 and the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 amounted to the end of the Cold War.

Strike441 [17]

<u>CIVIL AND POLITICAL PARTICIPATION OF JESSE JACKSON:</u>

Jesse Jackson, the African American civil activist turned politician is one of the national heroes America ever had. He being a black at America, faced racism against which, he started his fight with his civil rights activities.

He then turned into a politician, served as a shadow US senator and his name was in the US presidency nominations twice consequently which was itself a great achievement for anybody, especially for someone whose race faces most taunted non-humanitarian racist feelings. Hence, his civil and political participation was significant as it helped the backward people to take one step forward.
