Answer:

The correct option is: C) light-minute, Astronomical Unit, light-year

Explanation:

In cosmology, the distance between the objects in the universe is measured by using units such as light year, light-minute, and astronomical unit.

Here, 1 Light minute ≅ 1.8x 10¹⁰ m

1 Astronomical Unit (au) ≅ 1.49 x 10¹¹ m

1 Light year (ly) ≅ 9.46 x 10¹⁵ m

Now, arranging the units in ascending order: light-minute, Astronomical Unit, light-year.

Why were wolf populations removed from Yellowstone national park
Oduvanchick [21]

In the 1800s, westward expansion brought settlers and their livestock into direct contact with native predator and prey species. Much of the wolves’ prey base was destroyed as agriculture flourished. With the prey base removed, wolves began to prey on domestic stock, which resulted in humans eliminating wolves from most of their historical range. Predator control, including poisoning, was practiced here in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Other predators such as bears, cougars, and coyotes were also killed to protect livestock and “more desirable” wildlife species, such as deer and elk.

During an El Niño–Southern Oscillation event, which of the following best describes conditions in the eastern part of the tropic
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

High sea surface temperature and High rainfall

Explanation:

<em>El Niño</em> is a pattern of climate that causes the unusual warming of surface waters in the eastern part of the tropical Pacific Ocean. It affects the temperature of the ocean and changes the strength and speed of its currents, coastal fisheries' health, and local weather from South America to Australia and beyond.

It begins when warm water in the western part of the tropical Pacific Ocean moves toward the eastern part of the tropical Pacific Ocean along the equator. Usually, warm water pools near Indonesia and the Philippines, but during <em>El Niño</em>, the warmest water of the Pacific Ocean assembles at the eastern part of the tropical pacific ocean.

Moreover, trade winds weaken in the central and western part of the tropical Pacific Ocean that weaken the upwelling of nutrient-full cold water to cool warm surface water at the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. This warm surface water of eastern part of tropical Pacific Ocean warms the atmosphere that empowers moisture-rich air to develop into thunderstorms.

In this way <em>El Niño - Southern Oscillation Event </em>causes the rise in temperature of sea surface and high rainfall at eastern part of the tropical Pacific Ocean.

Which planet is an inner planet, and which one is an outer planet? Explain your answer. Planet A 16 hours planet B 1,408 hours
dimulka [17.4K]

The correct answers are:

Planet A 16 hours - Inner planet.

Planet B 1,408 hours - Outer planet.

The inner planets are the ones that are much closer to the sun, thus they have much smaller orbits around it and it takes them much less time to circle around it. Also, these planets are much smaller, which enables them to spin around their axis much quicker too, so one day passes much quicker.

The outer planets are the total opposite. They are much further from the sun, so for them to be able to make a single circle around the sun it takes much more time, and also, because they are much bigger, it takes them much more time to spin around their own axis, thus making one day much longer than the days of the inner planets.
