For part of our orbit the northern half of Earth is tilted toward the Sun. This is summer in the northern hemisphere; there are longer periods of daylight, the Sun is higher in the sky, and the Sun's rays strike the surface more directly, giving us warmer temperatures.
Answer:
<u>Our beaches would be unprotected</u>
In the short-term, these artificial sand hills will be destroyed by the elements. Because sand dunes protect inland areas from swells, tides, and winds, they must be protected and defended like national treasures. ... The ocean and the wind can have an unpredictable, destructive force on coastal regions.

Natural sand dunes play a vital role in protecting our beaches, coastline and coastal developments from coastal hazards such as erosion, coastal flooding and storm damage. Sand dunes protect our shorelines from coastal erosion and provide shelter from the wind and sea spray.

Answer:
Explanation:
We are given the formula:
This is a molecular formula, because it contains nonmetals.
1. Name the first element
The first element is phosphorous (P). Since this is the first element and there is only one, we don't need a prefix.
2. Second element
The second element is chlorine (Cl). It has a subscript of 5, so we must add the prefix of <u>hepta</u>-.
- Phosphorous heptachlorine
Add the ending of -ide.
- Phosphorous heptachloride
The prefix used for the second element is hepta. The compound name is phosphorous heptachloride.

chemical formula for a compound using its chemical name. She has just
identified the names of the elements in the compound. The tool that she will
need to use next is a textbook to learn the IUPAC naming of compounds or a

S. Properties can be anything from composition to color to ductility. Without knowing an object's properties, it is impossible to characterize it. For example, looking at some common properties of metals helps to differentiate them from non-metals or metalloids.
