Artyom0805 [142]

The answer is rainforests. The destruction of rainforests can lead to global warming due to the accumulation of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. This is because rainforests are major carbon sinks because they sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. One of the major rainforests that are facing the threat of human activities is the Amazon and Congo forests.


The answer is south america’s location atop the Nazca and South American plates of the circum-pacific belt. The circum-pacific belt is also known as the ‘ring of fire’ because there is a subduction zone in the region. The Cocos plate is subducting under the Caribbean Plate. This creates friction between the two plates with occasional release of high amounts of energies when a stuck region gets unstuck abruptly. This region accounts for approximately 90% of the world’s earthquakes.

Which one of the following would provide the greatest energy benefit to a home in the United States with cold winters and hot su
Mila [183]

Answer:

b. Tall oak trees

Explanation:

In order for the owner to be able to have energy benefit for the home in a place with hot summers and cold winters, the most practical thing would be to have tall oak trees in front of the large glass windows on the southern side. The reason for this is that the oak trees will be beneficial in both seasons. During the hot summers, the oak trees will provide a lot of shade, thus lowering the temperature on the southern side where the large glass windows are. During the winter, the oak trees will have no leafs on them, meaning that the southern side will be able to get the needed sunlight in this period. We come to a situation where the oak trees will reduce the energy spending for cooling down in the summer, and it will reduce the energy spending for warming up in the winter.
