Is light more or less focused near the equator?

Geography

Elina [12.6K]3 years ago

Answer:

Different parts of Earth's surface receive different amounts of sunlight. The sun's rays strike Earth's surface most directly at the equator. ... Because of the Earth's tilt the sun's rays strike the surface at a slant at the poles; they are less focused. This spreads the rays over a wide area.

Basic answer: more

Extra:

Regardless of the time of year, the northern and southern hemispheres always experience opposite seasons. This is because during summer or winter, one part of the planet is more directly exposed to the rays of the Sun than the other, and this exposure alternates as the Earth revolves in its orbit.

Latitudes are angles that range from zero degrees at the equator to 90 degrees North or 90 degrees South at the poles. ... Temperature is inversely related to latitude. As latitude increases, the temperature falls, and vice versa. Generally, around the world, it gets warmer towards the equator and cooler towards the poles.


No, it hits the equator directly, then the other parts of the world on an angle The closer you are to the the poles, the greater the angle

What is the relationship between Force, area and mass.​
Kruka [31]

Explanation:

It states that the rate of change of velocity of an object is directly proportional to the force applied and takes place in the direction of the force. It is summarized by the equation: Force (N) = mass (kg) × acceleration (m/s²). Thus, an object of constant mass accelerates in proportion to the force applied.

Froce is equal to mass multiplied by area

froce= mass × area

In turn formula can be twisted so

Force/mass= area

Force/area= mass

¿Qué dificultades y ventajas presentaban las características geográficas de la cuenca del Mediterráneo para la agricultura, las
mart [117]

Answer:

Dificultades para agricultura:

  • Eventos de sequía muy marcada
  • Plagas y pestes
  • Sobredemanda

Ventajas para agricultura:

  • gran proporción de especies nativas con alto valor energético y potencial de domesticación
  • clima costero templado

Ventajas para comunicaciones y el transporte

  • Mar mediterráneo uniendo pueblos
  • Desarrollo de la navegación
  • Asentamientos en las zonas costeras
  • Incremento de la comercialización e intercambio de productos y saberes

Explanation:

En el área mediterranea existe una alta proporción de especies nativas con potencial de domesticación, entre las que se encuentran muchos pastos y mamíferos. De hecho, muchas de las especies cultivadas y comercializadas a nivel global en la actualidad provienen de pastos del mediterraneo.

En el clima mediterráneo, la estacionalidad es muy marcada en las caras oeste de los  continentes. La estación seca ocurre durante el verano, y la estación húmeda ocurre durante el invierno.

En invierno, la tierra tiende a  enfriarse más que el agua del océano, y los vientos del oeste traen a la costa aire cargado de  humedad, que se condensan, y precipitan. En verano,  la tierra está más caliente que el océano; los vientos del oeste soplan tierra  adentro y se calientan en tierra,  absorbiendo más humedad, y haciendo más secas las condiciones en tierra.

La estación seca es hostil debido a las elevadas temperaturas  del verano. Los eventos de sequias, junto a la mayor tendencia de ocurrencia de plagas que ataquen los cultivos, sumada a la sobredemanda, hacen de la agricultura una actividad dificil.  

Aún así, fue el clima costero templado el que favoreció el desarrollo de la agricultura. La producción de trigo, vino o aceite de oliva, entre otros productos de alto valor energético, generaron un gran impacto económico, incrementando el comercio y la comunicación dentro de la zona mediterránea.

La tendencia de los pueblos a ubicarse cerca del agua distó mucho de ser una limitación. Desarrollaron la navegación a través de la que pudieron incrementar el comercio e intercambio cultural entre pueblos. Sumado a ello, este tipo de transporte facilitó la colonización de nuevas áreas.

En la cuenca del Mediterraneo se encuentra la Medialuna Fertil, que porbablemnte haya sido el primer centro de domesticación. Es aquí donde comenzaron la domesticación de distintas especies vegetales y de algunas especies animales.
