Answer:

The variation of sunlight reaching Earth is one cause of ice ages. .

Explanation:

When less sunlight reaches the northern latitudes, temperatures drop and more water freezes into ice, starting an ice age.

When more sunlight reaches the northern latitudes, temperatures rise, ice sheets melt, and the ice age ends.

The onset of an ice age is related to the Milankovitch cycles - where regular changes in the Earth's tilt and orbit combine to affect which areas on Earth get more or less solar radiation. When all these factors align so the northern hemisphere gets less solar radiation in summer, an ice age can be started.

The brilliant plumage of what national bird of india is due to an optical interference phenomenon called the bragg reflection?
attashe74 [19]

The correct answer is the peacock. The plumage found in Indian peacocks are because of the Bragg reflection phenomenon.

Explanation:

Bragg's law, or Wulff–Bragg's position, a special event of Laue diffraction, gives the plans for coherent and incoherent scattering from a crystal lattice. When X-rays are conflicted on an atom, they make the electronic cloud move as does an electromagnetic wave and it is observed in peacock.

Australia is west of Fiji true or false
inysia [295]
Both Australia and Fiji are located to the South of the Equator, and quite close to each other. Fiji is located more to the North than New Zealand, but it is, just like New Zealand, to the west of Australia, so the statement that Australia is to the West of Fiji is false!

stepan [7]

Answer:

A. Weathering, vegetation covering, and water influence the stability of a slope.

Explanation:

  • As water tends to flow down by the act of gravity the flow of the water down the slope will make the unconsolidated sediments to flow down the slope and thereby making the slope more prone to weathering and not stabilization it hence the flow tends to move down the rocks, silt and loose particles and thus making it me prone to weathering and erosion.
  • <u>Thus the flowage of the matter will create more impacts on the slope angle and width as it will spread more faster and extensively.</u>
