Answer:

plz mark brainly

Explanation:

Silicic is an adjective. It is used to describe Magma or Igneous rock. Magma or Igneous rock are rich in silica.Magma is a molten or semi-molten material from which all igneous rocks are derived. It is found beneath the surface of the earth in molten or semi-molten form. When it erupts from a volcano in the form of lava, it flows down, gets cooler and become solid as a rock.Silicic rock usually consists of 63 % of silica. Two common and famous silicic rocks are Granite and Rhyolite.So it is clear from the above given detail that Option a is correct option. Its location is likely underneath an ocean or a mountain. :D :)

Trava [24]

Answer:

D. Precipitation

Explanation:

Human environment interactions are interactions between humans and the environment.

Let’s examine each answer choice.

A. Dams are barriers that are built to stop water. Humans build them, so it is a human environment interaction.

B. Farms are plots of land humans use to raise crops and animals. Therefore, they are human environment interactions.

C. Irrigation is a way to water crops. Humans build them. They are human environment interactions.

D. Precipitation is rain, snow, hail and more. Humans can’t control it, so it is not a human environment interaction.

Therefore, the best answer is D. Precipitation.

Greenhouse effect:

inn [45]

Answer:

What is it? Greenhouse effect It is a natural phenomenon that occurs on planet Earth. The process is similar to that in a greenhouse used for plant cultivation, but at the planetary level.

How does it work? The atmosphere captures some of the sun's rays that reach the earth's crust, keeping them inside to maintain an approximate temperature of 15 ° C. If the atmosphere does not catch any of these rays that bounce off the surface, the Earth's average temperature would be several degrees below zero. One part of the solar energy is absorbed by the atmosphere, another part is reflected by the clouds, and another part reaches the planet as the visible light that warms us. Once solar radiation has warmed the earth's surface, the earth returns energy, reflecting it and sending it back to the atmosphere.

What are greenhouse gases and how do they relate to the greenhouse effect? The atmosphere is composed of various natural gases. Mostly nitrogen, oxygen and argon. Other gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxide and ozone are those that have a greater impact on the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases retain some of this solar energy inside the planet, and do not let it go into outer space. It is this radiation, which cannot escape the planet, that causes the surface temperature to rise.

Why is the greenhouse effect important to life on Earth? It is a very important process thanks to which the temperature of the planet is regulated to make life possible, allowing to maintain an adequate and pleasant temperature for living beings, retaining part of the sun's energy and releasing another part towards space.
