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.

1. Describe the most important diagnostic properties in igneous rocks.
azamat

1- The terrestrial lithosphere is composed almost of 80% by igneous rocks, they are also known as magmatic rocks and are formed at high temperatures due to magma solidification, they come from the superior mantle and terrestrial coast. Its texture is super resistant with significant hardness to obtain minerals and other derived materials. They can be divided into extrusive and intrusive.

2- Through experiments, Bowen has defined a sequence of mineral formation when a magma begins to cool. There are two types of magmatic differentiation defined by Bowen, the continuous series and the discontinuous series. In the continuous series the internal structure of the magma is not altered and all minerals have iron and magnesium, they are formed: aluminum, silica and sodium and calcium.

In the discontinuous series decreasing the temperature reacts the previously formed mineral with the existing liquid, and thus a new mineral with different internal structure and composition is formed. They are formed: olivine, pyroxena, amphibole and biotite.
