Answer:

continental rise

Explanation:

In nearly all instances, it ends at its seaward edge with an abrupt drop called the shelf break. Below this lies the continental slope, a much steeper zone that usually merges with a section of the ocean floor called the continental rise at a depth of roughly 4,000 to 5,000 metres

A circle has a diameter

torisob [31]

The circumference of circle is 20.096 units

Solution:

Given that circle has a diameter with endpoints at (10, 8) and (5, 4)

To get the diameter, find the distance between the end points

The distance between two points is given by formula;

$d=\sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^{2}}$

Here the points are (10, 8) and (5, 4)

$(x_1, y_1) = (10, 8)\\\\(x_2, y_2) = (5, 4)$

Substituting the values we get,

$\begin{aligned}&d=\sqrt{(5-10)^{2}+(4-8)^{2}}\\\\&d=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}=\sqrt{25+16}=\sqrt{41}\end{aligned}$

$d = \sqrt{41} = 6.4$

Thus the diameter is 6.4 units

The circumference of the circle is given by formula:

$c = \pi d$

Where "d" is the diameter of circle

$c = 3.14 \times 6.4 = 20.096$

Thus circumference of circle is 20.096 units

Which statements describe Earth?

VLD [36.1K]

It is a terrestrial planet.

It was formed from gas and dust.

It was formed in a debris disk from colliding planetesimals.

Explanation:

The earth is one of the four terrestrial planets that orbits the sun and forms a significant part of the solar system.

The solar system is made up of the planets moving round the sun which is the star. The satellites moves round the planets. Also, there are other interplanetary bodies that moves in the solar system.

According to the solar nebular theory, the earth was formed from a gas of intersellar dust which was rotating.
Intense pressure and temperature led to the collapse of the core under gravitational pull. The core formed the sun.
The debris disk accreted to form several planetesimmals from which the earth was derived.
Most of the solid and denser materials were pulled in closely to sun and they are rock balls called terrestrial planets.
The outer parts are gas giants.

Heyy if you answer this correctly ill do anything you want anythingg

1.) Coastal environments, deserts, mountain environments, savanna grasslands, and forests.

2.) Each ecosystem has a different climate and people and animals who have adapted to these climates differently than the other environments. Each environment has its own resources there that the other might not have for them to survive.
