Why is the sky blue?
Andrew [12]
Hi!

Our sky is blue because air molecules will span out <em>blue </em>light from our sun more than <em>red </em>light from our sun.

If you look at the sun, you'll see orange and red colours due to the fact that the suns blue light has already been disbursed away from our line of sight.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

Density is a key component in the behavior of Earth materials and is especially important in understanding important aspects of
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Density is one of the most factors that play a key role in plate tectonic activities. Some of the ways in which density is important in the field of plate tectonics are as follows-

  • The convergent plate boundaries are responsible for the creation of a subduction zone, where the high-density lithospheric plate subducts below the less dense one. It is because the heavier plate is comprised of heavy minerals thereby forming heavier rocks as a result of which its density increases. Due to these differences in density, there occurs a subduction zone.
  • The divergent plate boundary forms where two plates move away from one another. This type of plate motion is responsible for the eruption of magma on the seafloor. As the plates diverge, the lithosphere becomes eventually thin, and with more progressive spreading, the magma comes out to the seafloor. This is because the hot magma is less dense, and forms convection cells as they rise upward. This is how the density helps in the upwelling of magma at the mid-oceanic ridge in a divergent plate boundary.
  • When there collide two plates of equal densities, then it gives rise to the formation of huge mountains, because neither of them is heavy to get sink. So it uplifts the crust, forming a sandwich-type pattern.

Why do scientists classify climates according to precipitation instead of relative humidity?
Grace [21]
Because it's easier to scale hustle then relative humidity. and high relative humidity and high precipitation rate are the associates. I should know because I grew up in both greater New Orleans, which is subtropical, and the Oklahoma panhandle, which is semi-arid 5% relative humidity or higher is normal in New Orleans. While 6% relative humidity is relatively familiar in the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles.
