10. Name 4 ways human activities are heating up the planet​

Geography
1 answer:
qwelly [4]3 years ago
7 0

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

Goode homolosine (equal-area) projection. What are the benefits of dividing Earth into equal areas?
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

They make the work of mapmakers and navigators, statisticians and Geography teachers a lot easier. This is because it is easier to study the Earth when it is divided into equal parts.

The East and West hemisphere is less geographically obvious. Its a theoretical line drawn from the South Pole to the North Pole through the observatory in Greenwich, England. All the world from the Western side of this “Greenwich line” is regarded as the Western Hemisphere, and all the world from the Eastern side of this line is referred to as the Eastern hemisphere

In what ways are the fate of the universe, the shape of the universe, and the average density of the universe related
Vlad1618 [11]
Based on our science, the universe could have three possible shapes dependant on the amount of matter in it, the matter affects the curvature of the universe, linked to its shape and geometry. For example, a closed Universe will have a positive curvature, meaning that the average density is more than the critical density. An open universe, on the other hand, would have a negative curvature, and therefore the qaverage density would be less than the critical density. A flat universe would have no curvature and the average density would be equal to the critical density. These shapes relate to the fate of the universe, a closed universe would be finite, an open universe would be infinite and a flat universe would be infinite with no curve.

Which object in space emits light because it releases energy produced by nuclear fusion ?
Charra [1.4K]
The Sun is a main - sequence star, and thus generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium.  In its core, the Sun fuses 620 million metric tons of hydrogen each second.
