Answer:  b. by counting impact craters in the regions containing these channels

Explanation:

In counting the impact craters in the areas containing the runoff channels in question, scientists are able to infer the ages of these channels.

The logic is simple, the longer these areas have been exposed, the more meteors they would have been hit by to create these craters. Therefore areas with more craters must have been around for longer and using mathematical models, they come up with age estimates.

What is the least densely populated country in the european union?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Finland

Explanation:

Out of the numerous countries that are members of the European Union, Finland is the one with the smallest population density. The country is relatively large for European standards, but it has very small population. The population density of this Northern European nation is 16 people per square kilometer, which is far beyond the average for the European Union. The reason for this is mostly the climate. Finland is one of the coldest countries in the world. Big portion of the country has very harsh conditions for living, so naturally the people don't live in those areas. Also, the lakes are occupying lot of the territory of this country, thus reducing the area where the living conditions are bearable. Most of the population lives in the southern part of the country, being either along the coastline, or very close to it.

If global warming were to raise temperatures 1.5°C to 4.5°C, what would most-likely happen?
Pani-rosa [81]

The correct answers are:

- Polar ice caps would melt, increasing sea levels;

Because of the rise of the temperatures, the permafrost, glaciers, and polar ice caps would mostly melt. As they melt, they will increase the sea levels significantly because they will introduce much more water into the the seas and oceans.

- Wildlife would have to migrate or die;

With increasing sea levels, as well as change of habitats, lot of animals would find themselves in situation where they will have to migrate, because if they don't, they will find themselves in water and drown, or starve to death.

- Hurricanes and typhoons could increase in intensity;

Because the water in the sea levels will increase, and the water bodies will become even bigger, the hurricanes and typhoons will be able to become stronger and more intense, thus be more destructive as well.
