Answer:
9:00 am
Explanation:
Lines of longitude are imaginary lines running from the north pole to the south pole of earth. These lines are used to calculate the time in places. Also when combined with lines of latitude, they are used to give the exact location of a place.
Given the place is at 45°W longitude and the time at GMT is 12:00 noon.
Degree difference = 0° (GMT) - 45° = -45°
1° = 4 min
time difference = -45° * 4 min per degree = -180 minutes = -3 hours
Therefore the local time at a place 45°W longitude = 12:00 noon - 3 hours = 9:00 am
"Why Do We Study the Sun?" How does the Sun help to protect life on Earth?
Answer:
We study about the sun because
The sun is a normal star. It is much closer to us than any other star, and by studying the sun, we can therefore learn more about other stars. The better we understand other stars, the more we know about the Milky Way. From there we know more about other galaxies and in the end we learn more about the universe.
Explanation:
How does the Sun help to protect life on Earth?
It radiates light and heat, or solar energy, which makes it possible for life to exist on Earth. Plants need sunlight to grow. Animals, including humans, need plants for food and the oxygen they produce. Without heat from the sun, Earth would freeze.
A three-story building had its lightweight roof uplifted. Hint: low-rise three-story, non-residential, roof uplifted completely, but no damage to walls. a. Damage Indicator Number:_________b. Degree of Damage:_________ c. Expected Wind Speed:_________ d. EF-scale Rating: _______
Answer:
a). 2
b). Moderate
c). 73-112 mph
d). F1
Explanation:
A Fujita scale is a scale that is used to determine the rating for the tornado intensities. It is used to measure the intensity of the tornado and provides a rating based on the damages made by the tornado on the human built structures and other vegetations.
The rating is based on the wind sped and the damages caused by the winds. When the damages caused by a tornado is surveyed, it is compared to the lists of Damage Indicators and the Degree of Damage which helps to estimate the range of the speeds of the tornado and an EF scale rating is provided accordingly.
In the context, It is given that the lightweight roof of a three storied building was uplifted. It was a non residential low rise three story building whose roof was uplifted completely but there was no damages made to the walls of the building.
So according to the EF scale, it provided a rating of :
Damage Indicator Number : 2
Degree of Damage : Moderate
Expected Wind Speed : 73-112 miles per hour
EF-scale Rating : F1
4. Search for 39 05 52.46N 84 30 56.16E and zoom out to an eye altitude of ~9,000 meters. The large-scale structures in this sedimentary environment are asymmetrical ripples (known as dunes at this size). Zoom in and out and examine the sedimentary environment. What type of sedimentary environment is this
Answer:
Eolian sedimentary environment
Explanation:
Winds can transport many different-sized particles of material from the ground through the process of erosion. These particles might travel many kilometers until they deposit somewhere. Regions with scarce vegetation have too much dust and grain-sized particles that move and crush each other, increasing erosion. This process is known as eolic erosion.
The most prominent accumulations of wind deposits are the dunes. However, there are other smaller accumulations such as the ripples and other larger ones called Draas. Their main differences are in addition to size, is the wavelength between them.
Dunes are winds deposits, formations that are, in general, typical of deserts. Dunes are orientated according to the direction and speed of winds, to the presence of loose material, and vegetation. Strong winds transport material until it collides with an object or obstacle where it is deposited, originating a new dune.
Dunes are very dynamic formations that are constantly being remodeled by the direction and strength of the winds. Dunes always have a soft slope and a sharp one. The soft slope is directed to the area or region where the wind is coming from and is the product of the wind erosion on the same dune. The opposite sharp slope is protected from the wind and is the deposition place, where the wind losses strength and the carrying material falls, depositing in this side of the dune.
Sinkiang is a desert in China. Placing yourself at 39 05 52.46N 84 30 56.16E lets you appreciate the duned shape of the ground. By zooming in and out, you can notice the soft and sharp slopes that are forming each of the dunes and the distance between them.
