Answer:
The smallest ocean waves are produced by:
C. Weak winds that blow for short periods of time over small distances
Explanation: For a wave to effectively be produced there need to be large wind, long period of time and a large distance of water. If they are all reduced, then there would be a reduction in the intensity of the wave.

The deepest parts of the oceans, located near the continents, are:
Choose the best answer from the options below:
A
deltas
B
peninsulas
C basins
D trenches
Answer:
The correct answer is D. The deepest parts of the oceans, located near the continents, are the oceanic trenches.
Explanation:
The ocean trenches are large depressions at the base of the seabed, which constitute the deepest parts of the Earth. Of these, the Mariana Trench, located in the Pacific Ocean to the east of China, is the deepest, being approximately 11,000 meters deep.
These trenches are formed by the activity of tectonic plates, specifically when one plate moves below the other and by the force exerted a depression is generated in the seabed, followed by a chain of volcanic islands at a close distance.

On a given summer day, in which location should training pilots expect, on average, smaller daily temperature ranges - Daytona Beach, Florida (on Floridaâs East Coast) or Prescott, Arizona (in the US Southwest at about 5,000 feet elevation)? Explain.
Answer: Daytona Beach, Florida (on Florida's East Coast)
Explanation:
The pilots should expect smaller daily temperature ranges at Daytona Beach because seaside areas are usually cooler as a result of wind from the body of water next to it cooling it down. In the case of Daytona beach, the Atlantic Ocean will be cooling it down.
This is in contrast to Prescott in Arizona which stands at a height about 5,000 feet elevation. Prescott will experience higher temperature ranges due to its elevation. Higher altitude areas are generally known to be hotter because the solar radiation is more there as it is closer to the atmosphere.

It is 35°C at sea level. The environmental lapse rate between sea level and 2100 meters is 6.85 °C/1000m. The environmental lapse rate between 2100 meters and 3500 meters is 11°C/1000m. The normal lapse rate exists above 3500 meters. What will the temperature be at 9000 meters?
Answer: -30.5 °C
Explanation:
Lapse rate between sea level and 2,100m is 6.85 °C/1000m.
Therefore at a height of 2,100m, the temperature should have fallen by;
= [tex]\frac{6.85}{1,000} * 2,100[/tex]
= 14.285 °C
Temperature at 2,100 m will therefore be,
= 35 - 14.285
= 20.615 °C
Lapse rate between 2,100m and 3,500m is 11 °C/1000m.
Therefore at a height of 3,500m, the temperature should have fallen by;
= [tex]\frac{11}{1,000} * (3,500 - 2,100)[/tex]
= 15.4 °C
Temperature at 3,500 m will therefore be,
= 20.615 - 15.4
= 5.215 °C
Lapse rate between 3,500m and 9,000m is assumed to be the normal rate. Normal rate is assumed to be 6.5 °C/1000m
Therefore at a height of 9,000m, the temperature should have fallen by;
= [tex]\frac{6.5}{1,000} * (9,000 - 3,500)[/tex]
= 35.75 °C
Temperature at 9,000 m will therefore be,
= 5.215 - 35.75
= -30.535
= -30.5 °C

Answer:

Explanation:
Native species of North America are often defined as those species that were present in North America before Europeans arrived in the early 1600s. When Europeans arrived, they found extensive forests dominated by the American chestnut tree. These chestnut trees were extensively cultivated and planted by the North American natives for food and other wood products. In the early 1900s the chestnut blight (a fungus) virtually exterminated all of the American chestnut trees from North America.
(a) Is the American chestnut considered a native species despite its intensive cultivation? Explain why.
(b) Is the chestnut blight considered a native or invasive species? Explain why.
(c) Discuss why invasive species tend to proliferate at very high rates.
(d) Many people are trying to grow hybrid chestnut trees that will be immune to the chestnut blight so that forests can be restored to those found by the Europeans in the 1600s. Do you agree or disagree that this should be done? Justify your answer
Answer:
a) Yes! the American chestnut tree is a native species. The American chestnut tree was present before the Europeans arrived in North America in the 1600s. Since a native species has been defined as any species that was present in North America before the arrival of the Europeans, then it is a fact that the North American chestnut tree is a native species.
b) The chestnut blight is an invasive species that is native to east East Asia, and was accidentally introduced into North America around the early 1900s, when the Japanese chestnut was commercially cultivated in the United States.
c) Invasive species tend to proliferate at a very high rate because they lack some natural constraints in the new environment such as natural predators, competition, and as in the case of this chestnut blight; the host has no natural defense mechanism against them. These conditions allow them thrive more than they would in their natural environment, unchecked
d) Yes, I agree with this idea, albeit to some extent. The development of hybrid chestnut resistant to the chestnut blight will possibly return the forests back to how it was before the Europeans arrived in the 1600s, but the genetic conservation will be altered, since these new trees will be an hybrid of the old trees, and the forest won't truly be as it was before the 1600s

Assume a warm air parcel, at sea level, has a temperature of 21°C (70°F) and begins to rise upward. Assume it becomes saturated at 1000 m (3300 ft) altitude, and continues to rise to 2000 m (6600 ft.) altitude. What would the approximate temperature of the parcel be at an elevation of 2000 m (6600 ft.)?
Answer: b. 5C (46.4F)
Explanation:
When air that is not saturated rises, it cools at a rate of 10 °C per 1,000 m. The warm air parcel only became saturated at 1,000m so by then it had cooled by 10°C.
Temperature at 1,000 m = 21°C - 10°C
= 11°C
When air is saturated, it is generally assumed to cool at a rate of 6°C per 1,000m. From 1,000m to 2,000 metres the air parcel decreased by a further 6°C bringing its temperature to 5°C.
What were the first two great continents in continental drift
Pangea, the last supercontinent formed some 360 million years ago by the grouping of all existing continental masses, begins to separate 130 million later, during the transit between the Permian and Triassic, and it does so by fragmenting into two major continents:
One, which begins to drift north and is called Laurasia, and another, which drifts south, called Gondwana. These two great continental masses are separated by the Neotethys ocean.
Laurasia will subsequently fragment and give rise to what will be Eurasia and North America, while the rest of the continents will separate from Gondwana: South America, Africa, Antarctica and Indoaustralia, which in turn will break, giving rise to the Indian and Australian subcontinents.
Choose example(dilemma's) below and describe your reaction to it and defend your reaction:
A 12-year-old girl lives outside the city limits on a farm. She wants to play on a youth soccer team, but a youngster has to be a resident of the city to play in the city league, and there aren't any teams in the surrounding rural area. Her mother decides to lie about the girl’s address; the mother tells the soccer league that the girl lives inside the city at her uncle's house. The girl is delighted to play on a city soccer team, even though the team wins only three games all season
Answer: What was done was not right.
Explanation:
I understand that as a mother, your child's happiness is paramount. However, it should not come at a cost of teaching them the right lessons in life. The 12 year old girl watched her mother lie for her and this will probably become an issue in future if she starts to believe that sometimes you have to lie to get what you want. This is how seeds of corruption and fraud are sown. If that girl were to grow up with such lessons and get into political office someday, it would be quite troublesome.
Another reason this was wrong is that we are unsure if there were limited spots in the team. By lying to get her daughter in, the mother might have unwittingly denied a place to another child who is actually a resident of the city.
The mother should have thought of a better way to get her daughter in because this lie that she told will now have domino effects. Even if the alternative to getting her daughter in was difficult, it would have taught her daughter that in life you may have to struggle to get what you want but you should not compromise your values to do so.

A population of bacteria contains 120 bacteria in generation 1 and triples in
population every generation. This sequence represents the number of
bacteria for the first few generations:
120, 360, 1080, ...
What is the explicit formula for the number of bacteria in generation n?
Answer:
Bacteria population In generation n
pₙ = 120 (3ⁿ⁻¹)
Explanation:
The pattern that the bacteria Population follws a geometric series' pattern with the first term equal to the population in the first generation, 120 bacteria, the population in the second generation is the second term and so on.
First term = a = population in the first generation = 120
Second term = a₂ = population in the second generation = 360
Third term = a₃ = population in the third generation = 1080
The general formula for any term of a geometric series is
aₙ = arⁿ⁻¹
a = first term
r = common ratio
But for a geometric series, common ratio is given as the next term divided by the very previous term.
r = (aₙ/aₙ₋₁)
For this question,
r = (360/120) = (1080/360) = 3
So, the right model for the profits for any given year n is
pₙ = 120 × 3ⁿ⁻¹
pₙ = 120 (3ⁿ⁻¹)
Hope this Helps!!!
How will a wind blowing to the north in the Northern Hemisphere be affected by the Coriolis effect?
A.) It will be reduced in strength.
B.) It will not be affected
C.) It will bend to the east.
D.) It will bend to the west
Answer:
C.) It will bend to the east.
Explanation:
The earth creates a rotational force that is called the Coriolis force which makes the winds go in different directions in the north.The south for the northern hemisphere the winds travel to right i.e eastern direction and in the south to the left i.e to the western direction. Making a clockwise direction of movement.Humans and their close relatives (hominins) have been around for roughly 5 million years. What percentage of geologic time is represented by the history of this group?
Answer:
Approximately 0.11% of the geological time.
Explanation:
Evidence from radiometric dating indicates that Earth is about 4.54 billion years old.
If humans and their close relatives (hominins) have been around for roughly 5 million years, the the fraction of this time to the geological time is calculated below
4.54 billion years = 4.54 x 10^9 years
5 million years = 5 x 10^6 years
percentage = [tex]\frac{5*10^{6} }{4.54*10^{9} } *100%[/tex] ≅ 0.11% of the geological time.
Collapse of the flank of the big Hawaiian island happened toward the south and dropped the land into the sea! In some ways, this landslide event is similar to the collapse of a large bulge on the side of Mt. St. Helens. :-)In your homework, we described the chain of events leading to the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. Now we focus on a similar story for Kilauea via Kyle's talk.
Which of the following events did NOT occur during BOTH the Mt. St. Helens and Kilauea eruptions?
a. A large magnitude earthquake
b. A large landslide-type collapse
c. A lateral volcanic blast
d. Emptying of magma from a buried magma chamber
Answer:
A) A large magnitude earthquake.
Explanation:
A nurse is caring for a client who has a terminal illness and is approaching death. The client is short of breath and has noisy respirations from
secretions in their airway. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Answer:
The nurse should: elevate the head of the client's bed.
Explanation:
When the head of the client's bed is elevated, it helps the client with breathing and aids respiration of the client who is short of breath.
It increases the overall respiration and inhalation.
The patient does not have to struggle harder to breath as this will minimize this struggle.
Also elevating the bed head relieves the airway obstruction.
This gives relief to the patient with respiratory tract.
Hence elevating the head of client's bed gives relief to the client with short of breath.
Explain the relationship between plate boundaries and the very powerful natural disasters, like earthquakes and volcanic activities. Can you give some examples so I understand.

14. Explain six factors that hinder development of river transportation in Africa
Africa is the second large continent after Russia and is home to a large number of rivers. But most of these rivers are not navigable due to they have waterfalls and are seasonal in nature.
Africa has a large natural resource base but suffers from a shortage of infrastructure and development. Most of the African land is under corruption and is politically unstable. Most of the wars are due to power, political conflicts, and lack of developmental projects and financial constraints. Hence transportation through most of rivers is a big problem for people.Learn more about the factors that hinder the development of river transportation in Africa.

Explanation:
It is 45°C at sea level. What will the temperature be at 5500 meters? Use the normal lapse rate.
Answer: 9.25°C
Explanation:
As you move higher from sea level, the temperature drops at an average rate. This average rate at which the temperature drops is known as the lapse rate.
This rate is 6.5 °C per 1000 m.
Temperature at 5,500m has dropped by;
= 6.5 * [tex]\frac{5,500}{1,000}[/tex]
= 35.75 °C
Temperature has decreased by 35.75 °C.
Temperature at 5,500m above sea level is;
= 45 - 35.75
= 9.25°C

Which of the following statements best describes the role of a surveyor in geography?
A. A surveyor provides plans for transportation systems.
B. A surveyor provides close readings of soil decomposition.
C. A surveyor provides close readings of land elevations.
D. A surveyor provides detailed descriptions of flora and fauna.
The correct answer is C. A surveyor provides close readings of land elevations.
Explanation:
One of the main focuses of geography is to study land features including relief or elevations. This is possible through main experts including surveyors who survey the land, which implies observing and measuring the land to record its features and elevations. Additionally, the information collected by surveyors is later used by other experts to create maps or even to compare how the land changes over time. Thus, the role of a surveyoR is to provide close readings of land elevations (Option C.)
