a) El Niño is defined as an abnormal weather pattern caused by the warming of the Pacific Ocean near the equator, off the coast of South America. The sun warms the water near the equator, which can make more clouds and, therefore, more rain. It has detrimental effects on biodiversity leading to its large-scale loss by
warmer sea temperatures leading to plankton and fish kills in coastal waters
lower sea levels leading to exposure of underwater coral reefs, causing their loss.
Answer:
A. a meteor traveling unhindered through space
Explanation:
Potential energy is mass * gravity * height. (m*g*h).
350 = 17*9.8*h <--350 is its energy, 17kg is its mass, and 9.8 is gravity's acceleration on the object. We now just need to solve for h.
h = 350/(17 * 9.8) = 2.1 meters, which, when rounded to the nearest whole meter, is 2 meters.
The shelf is 2 meters high.
