Answer:
A severance tax.
Explanation:
Because computers and cell phones are non-polluting, global carbon emissions from communications technologies are expected remain relatively stable between now and 2020.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
I don't know what your text book says, but computers and cell phones are absolutely polluting. All the emissions from the manufacturing process get released into the atmosphere, and they run on electricity which is being produced at sometype of power plant (probably coal).
Since we don't know the "now" of the text book, but we do know 2020, we know that there was a sharp increase in 2018 that started to level off in 2020 from e-waste. It's estimated there are 3 electronic devices for every 1 person in the world.
For these reasons, I would have to say False as the answer; however, your textbook may disagree. The benefits of future knowledge.
Cheers.
If a mineral has a parent to daughter ratio of 1:3 (one parent atom for every three daughter atoms), how many half-lives have passed since the mineral formed?
a. 0
b. 1
c. 2
d. 3
e. 4
Answer:
c. 2
Explanation:
Given that
Parent to daughter ratio = 1:3
Based on the above information, after considering the 1 half-life of radioactive isotope there is one-half of the real radioactive atoms of the parent left also the equivalent number of daughter atoms produced
Therefore after one half, the ratio between parent and daughter atom is 1:1
Now after the second half, half of the left parent atom would be transformed into the daughter cells
This remains a quarter of parent atom and 3 quarter of daughter atoms
So, the ratio of 1:3 would be shown after 2 half-lives
What type of rock is most likely to form in an earthquake zone?
A. Extrusive igneous rock
B. Sedimentary rock
C. Metamorphic rock
D. Intrusive igneous rock
Answer:
C. metamorphic rock
Explanation:
Although metamorphic rocks typically form deep in the planet's crust, they are often exposed on the surface of the Earth. This happens due to geologic uplift and the erosion of the rock and soil above them. At the surface, metamorphic rocks will be exposed to weathering processes and may break down into sediment. hope this helps you :)
Bioplastics made from corn grown using industrialized agricultural methods would have a smaller ecological footprint that bioplastics made from native prairie switchgrass.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
A this is true
Explanation:
i had to answer this question and i got it right
Bioplastics made from corn grown using industrialized agricultural methods would have a smaller ecological footprint that bioplastics made from native prairie switchgrass.
Thus, the correct option A.
What are Bioplastics?Plastics made from renewable biomass sources, such as plant fats and oils, maize starch, straw, woodchips, sawdust, and recovered food waste, are known as bioplastics.
Some bioplastics are made by processing polysaccharides (such as starch, cellulose, chitosan, and alginate) and proteins (such as soy protein, gluten, and gelatin) directly from natural biopolymers.
Other bioplastics are made chemically from sugar derivatives (such as lactic acid) and lipids (such as oils and fats) from either plants or animals, or biologically by fermentation of sugars or lipids.
Contrarily, conventional plastics like fossil-fuel plastics, often known as petro-based polymers, are made from natural gas or petroleum.
Bioplastics have the advantage of not requiring fossil fuel as a raw material, which is a limited and unevenly distributed resource with political and environmental implications.

After it experiences a "helium flash" a star like the Sun will have a brief period of stability, fusing helium into carbon (and sometimes oxygen). During this brief stable stage, the star:_________a. Increases tremendously in luminosity.b. Gets to be even larger in diameter than it was as a red giant.c. Returns to the position on the H-R diagram that the star had in its main-sequence stage.d. Is able to fuse many of the heaviest elements (such as iron and gold) in its superhot core.e. None of the answers provided is the correct answer
Answer:
a. Increases tremendously in luminosity
Explanation:
The helium flash is a thermal nuclear fusion with large quantities of helium gas into carbon. During the red giant phase, the sun is predicted to have a flash 1.2 billion after it leaves the main sequence and this helium fusion cannot be produced by the low mass stars. The sun in this stage will burn out or run out of its fuel and eventually will lead to gravitational collapse. The star being to shrink in size and core starts to collapse.units use to measure temperature

Which situations describe increasing atmospheric stability (choose all that apply): Group of answer choices daytime solar heating of the surface increases surface temperatures cold air from land moves over a warm lake rising surface temperatures on a calm, sunny summer day environmental lapse rate increasing with time a North wind brings in cold air from Canada, lowering surface temperatures Surface air cools while air aloft warms
Answer:
daytime solar heating of the surface increases surface temperatures.
Explanation:
Atmospheric stability is the condition where the air is generally considered to be stable than earlier due to the certain changes that take place over the period of time which are associated with the weather and climatic variability. As the colder air mass is denser than the warmer and lighter air mass thus reverse in the condition leads to instability.The discontinuity separating the crust from the mantle is named as: A.Mohorovicic B.Conrad C.Reppetty D.Gutemberg
Answer:
A.mohorovic
Explanation:
The Mohorovičić discontinuity (/moʊhəˈroʊvɪtʃɪtʃ/ MOH-hə-ROH-vitch-itch, Croatian: [moxorôʋiːtʃitɕ]),[1] usually referred to as the Moho discontinuity or the Moho, is the boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle. It is defined by the distinct change in velocity of seismological waves as they pass through changing densities of rock.[2]
The Moho lies almost entirely within the lithosphere.[3] Only beneath mid-ocean ridges does it define the lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary. The Mohorovičić discontinuity is 5 to 10 kilometres (3–6 mi) below the ocean floor, and 20 to 90 kilometres (10–60 mi) beneath typical continental crusts, with an average of 35 kilometres (22 mi).
Named after the pioneering Croatian seismologist Andrija Mohorovičić, the Moho separates both the oceanic crust and continental crust from underlying mantle. The Mohorovičić discontinuity was first identified in 1909 by Mohorovičić, when he observed that seismograms from shallow-focus earthquakes had two sets of P-waves and S-waves, one that followed a direct path near the Earth's surface and the other refracted by a high-velocity medium.[4]
If__________is added to the single cell model of global circulation, the single cell convection system becomes a three cell convection system.
Answer:
Thermal energy
Explanation:
The atmospheric circulation is a large system of movement of air along with the circulation of water and thermal energy is redistributed o the surface of the earth through this method. The three cells namely Hadley, Ferrel, and polar cells that exist in the northern and southern parts of the world are balanced by the high and low pressures. The latitudes of 30 to 35 degrees are the place of high pressure were they diverge form.Which of the following factors does NOT contribute to Turkey's economy?

A scientist determines that "Crystal Volcano" is 5,000 years old. What can that scientist assume about the ages of three other nearby volcanoes
Answer:
The answer to the question is as follows.
Explanation:
Two major decisions can be taken by examining volcanic stones.
Because the volcanoes were formed by subsidence, they would probably be around the same age. When a hot spot has produced the volcanic activity, the age groups of all the other volcanoes depend on the situation of the Crystal Volcano in the chain.Based on the population density maps above, what can be inferred about Britain’s migration patterns?

The Milankovitch cycles describe the change in ________ because of changes in the ________ of Earth relative to the Sun.
Answer:
The Milankovitch cycles describe the change in eccentricity because of changes in the orientation of Earth relative to the Sun.
The Milankovitch cycles are those cycle that is described as the collective changes in the climate over thousands of years. Factors like axial tilt, eccentricity, precession index are some of the hypothesized variations.
Thus the cycle describes the changes in the way the earth orbits the sun. Due to the changes in the orbit of the earth related to the sun. Or the differential orbital position of the un in relation to the inclination. Natural global arming and cooling is considered to be initiated by these cycles.Learn more about the Milankovitch cycles describe.
