Three factors determine how high the waves in a place will

Geography
1 answer:
adell [148]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

There are three factors wind that determine the size of the wave: 1) the speed of the wind, 2) the distance over which the wind has blown, and 3) the length of time that the wind has blown. The greater each of these factors, the bigger the wave.

Explanation:

The speed of the wind is one determing factor of how large the wave will be because if the wind is higher, then (depending on where it's facing) it CAN make the waves higher if it is going in the same direction. And same does 2) and 3) also matter, the length also matters because then for that time, there will be large waves, and for 2), the distance also matters, because if you are in a place (on the shore) where there was high wind towards you for some time, then after some time, you will see large waves, but if you are not, then you will see normal waves.

How does the study of mars and Venus help establish the validity of the greenhouse effect
kipiarov [429]
Venus will help us understand what happens when the greenhouse effect is really extreme but it's not a really good example of what will happen to Earth because of human activities. Life on Earth would completely die due to the extreme temperatures way before reaching even half of the concentrations of carbon dioxide on Venus. Mars doesn’t really have any greenhouse effects. Mars does have some atmospheric carbon dioxide but almost no atmosphere but the atmosphere it does have is so thin that it cannot keep energy from the Sun. That’s why there are extreme temperature contrasts between day and night and sun or shade. However, most scientists say that Mars used to be warmer in and even had oceans, which means that the atmosphere was also very different. About 3600 million years ago, something happened and the planet evolved towards its current state. studying the planet could tell us what could have caused such a huge change

About 70% of Earth's freshwater is where?
Pepsi [2]
About 70% of the Earth's freshwater is found in the form of ice caps and glaciers -it is frozen. Out of this, the majority is actually in one place: covering the continent of Antarctica.

One could argue that there is more water in the oceans, but it's not fresh water- it's salty water, so it's not  good to drink.
