Answer:

Waning

Explanation:

The moon cycle has several phases. The moon starts off as a new moon, then waxes (or grows) into a waxing crescent moon, then it gets to its first quarter (halfway to full moon). After that it grows to its waxing gibbous stage which is more than half way illuminated. After reaching the full moon stage (fully illuminated), the moon starts to wane. The full moon becomes a waning gibbous, then reaches its third quarter stage (halfway from full moon to new moon). After waning for some more time, the moon reaches its waning crescent stage and it is almost a new moon. Upon becoming a new moon, the cycle starts again.

This whole cycle takes about 29.5 days. The full moon happens at about the halfway point (roughly 14-15 days into the cycle). This means that the moon grows for about two weeks and wanes for about 2 weeks as well. Hence, the correct answer is D. Waning (since it spends the last two weeks of the cycle waning or shrinking).

Hope this helped!

There has been a recent increase in the frequency and magnitude of tropical cyclones. How could we link this to global warming?
Dmitrij [34]

Hello, Nadsdsss!! Global warming has occurred due to increase in greenhouse gases, along with many other things. The greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N20). Take CO2 for example, when we emit more CO2 into the atmosphere, it will cause a blanket trapping in the heat from the sun, which will cause heat to increase. With heating the atmosphere comes heating the ocean more and allow glaciers and ice to melt, which will cause sea rise. With both of these happening because of global warming, this causes more hurricanes within the world. Throughout the past few years, there has been a substantial amount of hurricanes that have increased due to global warming. I hope I helped!! If you have any more questions then feel free to message me and I will answer them for you. Have a great day.
