The horizontal distance between a crest to the next trough of an ocean wave is 5 meters.
What is the wavelength of the ocean wave? (5 points)
2 meters
5 meters
10 meters
20 meters

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

10 meters

Explanation:

A wave is a natural phenomenon that travels through a material medium but does not have a permanent effect on the particles of the medium. It can either be electromagnetic or mechanical. The propagation of a wave can be represented by a sinusoidal graph, which has crests and troughs.

A crest is the point of maximum displacement, while trough is a point of minimum displacement. The distance between two crests or troughs gives the wavelength of the wave.

From the question, the horizontal distance between a crest to the next trough is 5 meters which is half of the wavelength.

Thus wavelength = 5 × 2

                             = 10

The wavelength is 10 meters.

How were the mountains of New Zealand formed

Answers

Answer:

A convergence of the Australian and Pacific plates.

Answer:

These mountains formed because New Zealand straddles two tectonic plates. The plates push up the land, forming mountains.

Explanation:

which of the following would be true if something was at absolute zero?
Choices are:
A. The molecules that make up a sample wouldn't be moving.
B. The molecules that make up a sample would be moving very slowly
C. The molecules that make up a sample would be moving really fast

Answers

The answer is “A”
At absolute 0, atoms would stop moving

If something was at absolute zero, then the molecules that make up a sample wouldn't be moving.

What is Absolute zero?

Absolute zero is defined as the point at which no further heat can be withdrawn from a system. This is equivalent to 0 K or -273.15 °C.

This is -459.67 °F and 0 on the Rankine scale. The molecules that make up a sample would not be moving if it was at absolute zero.

Therefore, option A is correct.

Describe how plate tectonics causes major geological events such as ocean basins, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building.

Answers

Answer:

Tectonic plates are plates that can move and react in different ways with each other, these movements vary and as they vary they give rise to different geographical features.

The plates were found to slide or rub against each other, and this is what makes this sea livable.

The earth's surface is a puzzle of plates the size of continents that rub and collide with each other, generating powerful processes that form mountains and transform landscapes. The planet's geological metabolism, especially that of its tectonic plates, is also responsible for making it habitable.

The movements that occur between the plates are as follows:

convergent (two plates collide against each other), divergent (two plates separate) and transformants (two plates slide side by side). These movements are not because they are, but are the consequence of the currents of different temperatures that occur in the mantle, therefore everything that is warmer rises and what is cold descends or falls.

The updrafts / rising / hot and descending / falling / cold of the mantle can explain the movement of the plates, acting as a kind of "stimulating roller" that moves them.

Explanation:

When they move, they cause earthquakes or tsunamis in large bodies of water, when they converge and collide with each other, it may be that they form both mountains and volcanoes, in the event that they have a conduit that connects said geographic feature with the hot magma or mantle.

And if divergent movements happen they could also be caused by earthquakes, tsunamis, and even geographic divisions or neocontinent formations.

It is important to clarify also that volcanoes or mountain structures do not form only in earthly or sea life where there is land, there is scientific evidence of this also happens under the sea or under deep fresh water.

Which factor plays the greatest role in determining the climate in a highland region?
proximity to large bodies of water
elevation
latitude
ocean currents

Answers

The correct answer is B. Elevation

Explanation

Altitude or elevation is the name given to the number of meters above the level of the sea at which a point is located. Altitude is a factor that directly affects the temperature of a certain point on the planet, for example, in tropical areas where humidity is highest, the temperature decreases 1° Celcius for every 180 meters of elevation. While in subtropical or dry areas the temperature decreases 0.5° Celcius for every 180 meters of elevation. Therefore, in the coastal areas where it is at sea level, the temperature is usually warmer, while in the tops of the mountains we find snowfalls with low temperatures. According to the above, the correct answer is B. elevation

A fossil is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age. A index fossil must have a short vertical range, wide geographic distribution and rapid evolutionary trends. Another term, Zone fossil is used when the fossil have all the characters stated above except wide geographical distribution, they are limited to a zone and can't be used for correlations of strata.

What influences the duration of the day and night as one moves from north to south

Answers

Sun rays walls directly onto areas that are on the equator, whilst they get more slanted nearer the poles. so if you can imagine it the sun rays at 90° or perpendicular to the earth at the equator, due to the curvature in the earth, they 'tilt' in a way when you get nearer to North/ south poles. Therefore it is the Latitudinal Extent (how far one goes towards a pole/ away from the equator) that influences the chance of different durations of day and night.

Surface temperature of 25 ∘C, which is 15 ∘C higher than the middle-latitude city mentioned in Part A. Vertical soundings reveal an environmental lapse rate of 6.5 ∘C per kilometer and indicate that the tropopause is encountered at 16 kilometers. What is the air temperature at the tropopause?

Answers

Answer:

at an altitude of 16 kilometers the temperature of tropopause is -79° C.

Explanation:

Given that:

The surface temperature = 25° C

Vertical constant environmental Lapse Rate ( Change in temperature with height) = 6.5° C/km

Altitude of tropopause = 16 kilometers

It is pertinent to understand that as we move higher up to the tropopause ; temperature decreases.

SO;  we need to  subtract the change in temperature from surface temperature

Thus; Air temperature at tropopause = Surface temperature - (Change in temperature till the altitude of tropopasue)

Air temperature at tropopause =  Surface temperatue - (Lapse Rate × Altitude)

Air temperature at tropopause =  25° C - (6.5 ° C/km  ×  16 km)

Air temperature at tropopause =  25° C -  104° C)

Air temperature at tropopause = -79° C

Thus; at an altitude of 16 kilometers the temperature of tropopause is -79° C.

What are the major physical characteristics of the Asian continent? Provide an example of each type of landform.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The Asian continent is home to diverse landscapes including deserts, mountains, and tropical paradises. The Gobi desert in China and Mongolia is the largest desert in Asia. The Himalayan mountains in India, Bhutan, Nepal, and Pakistan is the largest mountain range in the world. Hong Kong City in Hong Kong (or disputed territory of China) is considered one of the most beautiful tropical cities representing the diverse culture of the Chinese.

Answer:

The sheer size of the Asian continent subdivides it into several sections with distinct physical characteristics. Asia divides into Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, North Asia, and East Asia. Its landforms include peninsulas, mountains, plateaus, plains, deserts, and islands. Asia also has four peninsulas, one of which is Korea. The Himalayas and Urals are some of Asia’s most well-known mountain ranges, and the Himalayas are the world’s tallest. The Tibetan Plateau rests in Asia. The Ganges Plain houses a very large percentage of the world’s population. East Asia is home to the largest Asian desert, the Gobi Desert. Sri Lanka is a famous island.
