Galileo was the first scientist to use the telescope to study the nighttime sky. Among his discoveries were the phases of Venus

Bumek [7]

Answer and Explanation:

At the time when Galileo lived, people believed in the geocentric model of the solar system, which claimed that earth was the center of the universe, where all the celestial bodies revolved around it. By using the microscope and discovering Jupiter's natural satellites, Galileo put geocentric systems to the test. This is because he showed that the earth was not the only planet that had celestial bodies rotating around it, other planets had this capacity, like Jupiter. Today we know that Galileo is correct, but his ideas were not well received at the time.

In relation to astronomy, the science of Galileo's time was based on the Aristotelian model, which stated that the celestial bodies were smooth and had a perfect, polished surface with no irregularities. Galileo also put this concept to the test, when he was able to visualize the surface of the moon with his telescope. He saw that the moon did not have a smooth surface, but a rough one, full of irregularities, mountains and caves just like the earth. Today we know that this is true, but one more this idea was not well received by the fellow citizens of Galileo, which caused his life imprisonment for heresy.

We can see that Galileo did not receive a correct judgment from the society in which he lived and suffered for it, even though he was not doing any harm to anyone.

What changes to landforms are caused by movements at transform boundaries?

Zigmanuir [339]

Convergent boundaries form strong earthquakes, as well as volcanic mountains or islands, when the sinking oceanic plate melts. The third type is transform boundaries, or boundaries where plates slide past each other, forming strong earthquakes

James wants to draw a line diagonally across a rectangular piece of paper. If the paper measures 9 inches by 12 inches, what is

sattari [20]

Answer:

15 inches

Explanation:

James needs to use the Pythagoras theorem, which states that in a right-angle triangle, the sum of the squares of the other two sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

c²=a²+b²

we know that a is 9 inches and that be is 12 inches

c²= (9)²+(12)²

c²= 81+144

c²=225

c=√225

c=15

after applying the measures to the Pythagoras theorem formula,

we found out that the length of the straight-edge needs to be 15 inches

1. Which occurrence is not characteristic of global warming? (1 point)

USPshnik [31]

1. An occurrence that is not a characteristic of global warming is;

B. Stabilization in the sea level due to warm weather

A warming climate can cause seawater to expand and ice over land to melt, both of which can cause a rise in sea level.

2. A non-impact of global warming on ecosystem is;

D. Food and supplies increase

Climate change not only affects ecosystems and species directly

3. A factor that contributes to the strength of hurricanes is;

A. Warmer ocean temperatures

Hurricanes start simply with the evaporation of warm seawater, which pumps water into the lower atmosphere. Once hurricanes move over cold water or over land and lose touch with the hot water that powers them, these storms weaken and break apart.

4. A practice that does not protect the environment is;

D. Frequent usage of a SUV

Car pollution is one of the many major causes of global warming. Cars and trucks emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which contribute one-fifth of the United States' total global warming pollution.

5. A vehicle that is most likely to be fuel efficient is the;

D. Gas-electric hybrid car

Hybrids are the most gasoline efficient of all cars

6. Scientists predict that global warming will cause Ethiopia to experience;

D. Greater frequency of drought-related conditions

The environment is directly impacted by drought. Drought can affect water sources, land, fish and wildlife and plant communities. A lack of water and reduced ability for soil to support crops can affect fish, animals and plant life.

7. A majority of the greenhouse-gas emissions released into the;

C. Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide (CO2) makes up the vast majority of greenhouse gas emissions from the sector.

8. The main human activity that contributes to global warming is;

E. Burning of fossil fuels

The burning of fossil fuels by humans is the largest source of emissions of carbon dioxide, which is one of the greenhouse gases that allows radioactive forcing and contributes to global warming.

9. A statement that is true regarding where pollution is most evident is;

A. Areas with a high population density

As people age, their bodies are less able to compensate for the effects of environmental hazards.

10. A human activity that would best support global efforts to improve the environment and to reduce global warming is;

B. Riding a bicycle to a nearby playground

Riding a bike provides a fairly fast and dependable mode of transportation that just happens to save money, getting fit and helping to reduce global warming.
