Are volcanoes scattered all over the world or do they seem to occur near each other (in groups)?

Answers

Answer 1
They are scattered around the world
Answer 2
Volcanoes are not randomly scattered around the world but as in the Pacific Ring of Fire they are usually located where subduction of the oceanic plates beneath continental plates is occurring and for example on the west coasts of North, Central and South America they occur in a linear belt close to the Pacific.

What is the heaviest element that can be fused in the core of a star?

Answers

It all begins with hydrogen fusion to helium and helium fusion to heavier elements like carbon and oxygen. However, the heaviest element that can be fused in the core of a star is known as iron and sometimes nickel, too.

I hope I was able to help you! :)

Answer:

The heaviest element which can be fused in the 'core of a star is iron'.

Explanation:

Throughout a stars lifetime, there is a 'continuous fusion reaction' going on in its core. This reaction is fed by various elements present near the core of the star.These elements can most probably be hydrogen, helium, carbon, oxygen, nickel, and iron. When the star runs out of one elements, it uses the other to continue the fusion reaction going on in its core.

What do most current climate models suggest will happen to global temperatures by the end of the 21st century?

Answers

Current climate models base their operations on how much CO2 will be emitted in the future. Considering the actual trend, most models shows a rise in temperature in between 4/6 centigrade. Considerable change are possible with significace changes in the emission of co2.

ANSWER:

Most current climate models suggest that the global temperatures will rise by the end of 21st century.

EXPLANATION:

This will happen because of the global warming being caused by the greenhouse gas emissions. The rising temperatures will change the rate of precipitation which will increase because with more evaporation, the water cycle will become faster. The increased temperatures will also cause ice and snow to melt more resulting in the decrease in the glaciers and ice sheets that float on oceans. The climate will change in an extreme manner meaning that summers and winters will become more severe.

Are the items in the list renewable or nonrenewable resources?

Choose N for Nonrenewable resources.
Choose R for Renewable resources.

coal

diamonds

natural gas

tuna

water

Answers

coal n
diamonds n
natural gas n
tuna r
water r

Answer:

coal - Nonrenewable resource

diamonds - Nonrenewable resource

natural gas - Nonrenewable resource

tuna - Renewable resource

water - Renewable resource

Explanation:

    Renewable resources are those resources that have the ability to renew or regenerate themselves after being used by man in activities. Among the resources that have these characteristics are: forests, soil, sunlight, water and more. If used sparingly, it is very likely that these resources will not be exhausted.

    Nonrenewable resources, on the other hand, encompass all other elements that cannot be renewed or regenerated. Among the natural resources that have these characteristics are: iron, gold, oil, aluminum, nickel and many more. This means that when we use or extract these resources, their reserves will be diminished and depending on the consumption of this resource may occur its extinction, so we need to save them for the future.

The __________ of the earth does not transmit s waves.

The net primary productivity of cultivated land is most similar to the net primary productivity of which ecosystem?

Answers

The net primary productivity of cultivated land is most similar to the net primary productivity of the temperate grassland. Temperate grassland is a terrestrial ecosystem whose main plants consist of shrubs or grass. The environment is temperate and it ranges from semi-humid to semi-arid.

The net primary productivity of cultivated land is probably most similar to that of tall-grass prairies or temperate deciduous forests, which have significant natural productivity, unlike the extremes of tropical rainforests or deserts.

The net primary productivity (NPP) of cultivated land can be compared to various natural ecosystems based on their energy accumulation and conversion efficiency. As the table provided does not specify the exact NPP of cultivated land, we must infer based on general knowledge about ecosystems. Typically, cultivated lands have moderate to high NPP due to human management, including the use of fertilizers, irrigation, and crop breeding, to optimize production. Therefore, the NPP of cultivated land might be most similar to ecosystems like tall-grass prairies or temperate deciduous forests, which have substantial natural productivity and are often associated with fertile soils and favorable water availability. Cultivated land's productivity generally would not match that of a tropical rainforest, which has the highest NPP, nor would it be as low as a desert ecosystem.

How is cotton farming harmful to the soil what was done to keep the earth usable?

Answers

The cotton farming is harmful to the soil because it is very easily infested by worms, and to keep the crops safe and healthy a big amount of pesticides are used. The big amount of pesticides are washed away with the water into the soil, the soil gets contaminated, and also the underground waters, and a big damage is done to the surrounding environment as well. Since it requires a lot of water for irrigation, also salinisation of the soil occurs, thus the soil is degrading. For this process to stop, in recent times the cotton farming has been directed in the way of the organic production, where there's no usage of toxic chemicals, but organic ones.
Answer:

Cotton plants require large quantities of nutrients and they absorb all the nutrients from the soil, what has been done to have the soil beneficial is cotton farmers ought started crop alternating.

Explanation:

Indeed if cotton farmers follow crop rotation because the pesticides and fertilizers do not endure on the plants themselves, they can influence later cotton crops, other food yields an area that may not relate to the cotton farmer at complete.

How does convection transfer heat from one place to another on the earth?

through the movement of winds and currents

through the movement of precipitation

through the angle of the sun’s rays

through the greenhouse effect

Answers

Thermal energy is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection. Convection occurs when warmer areas of a liquid or gas rise to cooler areas in the liquid or gas. Cooler liquid or gas then takes the place of the warmer areas which have risen higher. This results in a continous circulation pattern. Water boiling in a pan is a good example of these convection currents. Another good example of convection is in the atmosphere. The earth's surface is warmed by the sun, the warm air rises and cool air moves in.

Convection is the movement of heat through gases or liquids. Heat from the sun heats the air which can account for A and D, but a lot of the Earth's heat is distributed by the ocean. Water has a high specific heat which can absorb a lot of heat in one place, and distribute it in a colder place evening out the Earth's temperatures a bit.

So, the answer would be 
through the greenhouse effect
And could also be through the movement of winds and currents

Which region of the early universe was most likely to become a galaxy? which region of the early universe was most likely to become a galaxy? a region whose matter density was lower than average a region whose matter density was higher than average a region with an unusual concentration of dark energy?

Answers

The answer is : a region with an unusual concentration of dark energy. A region whose dark matter density was higher than average, because gravitational runaway takes regions that are initially denser and makes them the more denser.

Answer:

The region of the 'early universe' whose matter density was higher than the average was most likely to become a 'galaxy'.

Explanation:

For an object to be subjected to gravity, it needs to have a specifically higher density. During the formation of galaxies in the early universe, 'the action of gravity' within and over the dense regions of the universe is believed to have 'played a significant role'. The regions which are found in the universe denser than average were the regions where the 'first galaxies of the universe' were formed.

Answers

In the African countries where HIV/AIDS is a big problem the economies have big problems. People that have it are usually young people, they lack the physical power and the concentration to be effective workers, or they can not work at all, and this affects the economy because the efficiency is very low or non existent from the people that have HIV/AIDS.

Trade and exchange mostly always benefits those nations that engage to it, nevertheless only when it is average to the total national economy. Also, a minority is always hurt by the evolution of trade patterns, and they’ll always ask for protection. In relation with this, Brazil is composed of a only a few wealthy people and a lot of very poor people. This gap among the highest and lowest socials levels is so huge, even though it already decreased during the late 1990s. However, stabilization to the economy, by means of lower inflation levels has likely added more purchasing power to the less fortunate.

Which two aspects of climate change appear to be having the most impact on forests?

Answers

The two biggest aspects of the global climate change that impact the forests are the temperature and the precipitation. The temperature increases globally, this affects the forests because the trees are adapted on certain temperatures, but now are faced with rapid increase of the same, and the time for adaptation is much shortened, so lots of forests degrade or gradually die off. The precipitation is a crucial factor for all plants. The forests are on places where there's sufficient amount of precipitation, but now lots of regions in the world are suffering from reduced precipitation, this also causes the degrading and dying off of the forests.
