Geography

qwelly [4]3 years ago

Answer:

10 Human climate drivers include heat-trapping emissions from burning coal, gas and oil in power plants and cars; cutting down and burning forests; tiny pollution particles (aerosols); black carbon pollution more commonly referred to as soot; and changes in land use that also affects Earth's albedo

11 The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface. When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. ... The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth.

12 Fossil fuels produce large quantities of carbon dioxide when burned. Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate change. In the United States, the burning of fossil fuels, particularly for the power and transportation sectors, accounts for about three-quarters of our carbon emissions.

13 At every stage, food provisioning releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Farming in particular releases significant amounts of methane and nitrous oxide, two powerful greenhouse gases. ... Agriculture accounted for 10% of the EU's total greenhouse-gas emissions in 2012.

14 Cement manufacture contributes greenhouse gases both directly through the production of carbon dioxide when calcium carbonate is thermally decomposed, producing lime and carbon dioxide, and also through the use of energy, particularly from the combustion of fossil fuels.

15 When forests are destroyed by activities such as logging and land conversion for agriculture, they release large quantities of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which can increase temperatures.

Hope this helps and God bless <3

How was the Renaissance different from the Dark Ages?
coldgirl [10]
Medieval art and architecture were mainly influenced by religion, while renaissance arts and architecture were influenced by Classic Greek and Roman ideals.
A very prominent difference between the Renaissance and Middle Ages is that of the art. The Renaissance artists followed the more classical form of art. They portrayed human beauty and the religion predominantly. The Renaissance artists had a deep sense of perspective and developed two dimensional effects.

How has the invention of GPS and the internet made finding a location using coordinates easier and more reliable?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

GPS makes the reading of maps very accurate.

Explanation:

An electronic version also allows the information to be upgraded regularly to give accuracy and reliability than a paper map that could be outdated. There is a less human error with machines designed to survey large areas of land. The internet is a great way to be able to access information rapidly and efficiently. Traditional maps are limited to the type of information it can show. However, with GPS mixed with GIS and the internet maps can show a great variety of information, such as the type of soil or geology in a certain area. It is also possible to read the information and connect it, such as a route planning feature to help a driver get to their destination.

In hot deserts we also find plateau land– ________________ with flat tops.
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

landscape or landform with flat top.

Explanation:

  • A desert is a barren landscape that consists of very little rainfall. Lack of vegetation and unprotected surface makes the soil weak and prone to erosion. They cover one-third of the surface of the earth and have a semi-arid type of climate.  
  • A plateau consists of a flat elevated landform that rises sharply above the surrounding area. Soft rocks are often eroded at the top of a plateau. The caprocks protect its surface from erosion.

1 Point<br> Why are fossil fuels used so much today?
Volgvan
Fossil fuels store their energy in the chemical bonds that hold the hydrocarbon molecules together. That energy can stay trapped like that right up until the moment the hydrocarbons meet both heat and oxygen (O2).

Heat (from a match or spark) breaks the hydrocarbon and oxygen molecules apart, and then oxygen atoms react with the freed carbon and hydrogen atoms to give carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), and loads of energy as heat along the way.


combustion - burning fuel for energy
That extra heat is the key to fossil fuel's success. More heat energy is released when the new bonds form in CO2 and H2O than it took to break the original bonds in oxygen and the fuel. So once combustion starts, it's a runaway chain reaction giving off excess heat.

We've used the heat directly for cooking and warming, and indirectly to boil water for steam-powered turbines for electricity. The gases given off from burning fuels have driven pistons in internal combustion engines for more than a century.

Not only can we start a fire with a single spark, we can stop it by cutting the supply of fuel, air or heat, so it's a source of energy we can turn on and off as needed.

A controllable source of energy that has only two major downsides — finite supply and being the source of the CO2 that's driving climate change. No wonder fossil fuels have been such a hard habit for industrialised countries to kick.
