Hi there!

You will have already be known that the <em>sun's rays are closest to the equatorial regions</em> <em>than</em> the <em>polar regions</em>. So the stronger heat rays reach the equator first, heating it's water faster. Within the span of time when the rays reach the polar areas (poles), the sun rays become slanted, leading it into the ocean waters.

Also, the sharpness or intensity of the rays gets weakened, thereby heating the water of polar regions less.

Using this fact, we can say that the rays falling near the equator heats the water more than the rays heating the water at poles.

Hence, we can say that <u>D) </u><u>T</u><u>he sun heats earth and it ocean unevenly</u> will be your answer.

Thank you !

What are the 2 major sources of Earth's interior heat ?
sergey [27]

The heat that remains inside the Earth from its creation and radioactive decay are its main heat sources.

The deep earth receives heat from three main sources: (1) heat left over from the planet's formation and accretion, (2) frictional heating brought on by denser core material sinking to the planet's centre, and (3) heat from radioactive element decay.

The energy produced when unstable atoms decay is known as radioactivity, and it is a substantial contributor to the Earth's heat. The main source are the radioactive isotopes of uranium-235 (235U), uranium-238 (238U), potassium-40 (40K), and thorium-232 (232Th) in the Earth's mantle.

Choose the correct succession of low to high altitude clouds that signify a warm front.
Rudik [331]

The correct order is Ns, As, Cs, Ci .

<h3>What do you mean by high altitude?</h3>

The distance above sea level is known as altitude, just like elevation. If an area extends at least 2,400 meters into the atmosphere, it is frequently referred to as being "high-altitude."

Mount Everest, which is located in the Himalayan mountain range on the border between Nepal and Tibet in China, is the highest point on Earth. 8,850 meters is how high Mount Everest is.

The highest city on Earth is El Alto, which is located in Bolivia. The average elevation of the 1.2 million population is 4,150 meters above sea level.

Air pressure decreases as altitude increases. In other words, low air pressure indicates a high apparent height.

Two things account for this. The primary cause is gravity. Density is the second justification.
