Time changes by one hour for each 15° degree change in longitude; this is because

1 answer:

8 0

This is because twenty-four latitude lines were chosen so that 24 hours represents a 360 revolution around the planet. As earth spins on its axis, different places receive sunlight at different times. Each day goes from morning to night as earth turns because the earth spins from west to east therefore the day moves from east to west. Lines of longitude help us keep track of time differences from place to place. Mapmakers divided earths 360 degrees of longitude by 24 hours which results to 15, the time changes by one hour every 15 degrees. It is one hour earlier every 15 degrees of longitude to the west and it is one hour later every 15 degrees of longitude to the east.

HELP PLS/ A large bottle with a layer of mud on the bottom is filled with pond water. Several fish and some green plants are the

motikmotik

Answer: C: Decomposers

Explanation: The mud and pond water likely contain some sort of decomposing bacteria. These bacteria can break down the complex nitrogen compounds in the dead fish, producing simple nitrogen compounds. These simple nitrogen compounds can then be used by the plants added to the terrarium.

A is wrong because producers (such as the green plants added to the terrarium) can not break down the complex nitrogen compounds in the fish's body.

B is wrong for a similar reason. Algae are primary producers. Because of this they also lack the ability to break down the complex nitrogen compounds found in the fish's body.

D is also wrong. A virus may be able to infect the fish and cause disease, but it lacks the ability to break down the complex nitrogen compounds found in the fish's dead body.

Since A, B, and D are wrong, along with the fact that we know that decomposers can break down the complex nitrogen compounds in the dead fish, we can conclude that C is the correct answer.

4. At what point was the solution in beaker ""B"" neutralized?

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is called the equivalence point. That is the exact point during titration where the relative amounts of each substance in the chemical reaction of titration become well defined by the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation used for expressing the kinetics of reaction.

A titration is an experimental set up with a controlled acid-base neutralization reaction.it is used to determine the unknown concentration of an acid or a base.

Acids and bases neutralize each other, forming a salt and water. Basically, a strong acid-strong base neutralization gives a neutral solution with a pH of 7.
