Analyze the map below and answer the question that follows.
A climate and ecosystem map of Africa with arrows labeled A, B, C, and D. Climates are shaded different colors. A points to just below the Sahara. B points to a region in the middle of Africa. C points to South Africa. D points to an area near Egypt.
Where is the Sahel located on the map above?
A.
region A
B.
region B
C.
region C
D.
region D
Answer:
The Sahel is region A.
Explanation:
The Sahel is a region that stretched in a roughly east to west direction, located just below, or rather just south of the Sahara Desert. The Sahel is a semi-arid region, acting as a transitional zone between the desert and the savanna. This relatively narrow (for African standards) region stretches from the Atlantic coast to the Indian Ocean coast.
There are a total of ten countries where the Sahel occupies territory, with some countries having a larger share, while some very small ones. Even though the region is semi-arid, in the areas where there are rivers, it is actually offering very conditions for agriculture, and more and more people have been using this. Another important thing that needs to be mentioned about the Sahel is that it is the region in which the Great African Wall is being created, which is an attempt to make this region forested and prevent desertification, which also brings is economic benefits and a better life for the people in the region.

The thermal energy of water in a mug increases by 12,552 J when the water is heated from 20 °C to 40°C. If the specific heat of water is 4,184 J/kg °C, what is the mass of the water?
Answer: 0.15kg
Explanation:
multiply (4,184)(40-20) turns into (4,184)(20) = 83,680
divide. 12,552 and 83,680
and you get 0.15
A body's mass is an inherent quality. Prior to the discovery of the atom and particle physics, it was widely considered to be tied to the amount of matter in a physical body. hence mass of the water is 0.15kg .
What is Mass ?It was discovered that, despite having the same amount of matter in theory, different atoms and elementary particles have varied masses. There are various conceptions of mass in contemporary physics that are theoretically different but physically equivalent.
Experiments can be used to define mass.as an indicator of the body's inertia, or its resistance to acceleration (change in velocity) in the presence of a net force [1]. The gravitational pull an object has on other bodies is also influenced by its mass.
When you know specific gravity, you also know density because you can calculate density by dividing specific gravity by the water's density, which is 1 gm/cm3. The mass of a certain amount of liquid can therefore be calculated by multiplying its density by the volume of the liquid in question.

Which of the following can form as a result of tension that causes the lithosphere to break apart into many normal faults?
1 a syncline
2 an anticline
3 a folded mountain
4 a fault-block mountain
Fault-block mountains form can be formed as a result of tension that causes the lithosphere to break apart into many normal faults. Thus, the correct option is 4). A fault-block mountain.
What causes the breaking of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere refers to the rocky outer part of Earth. It is made up of the crust and the top part of the upper mantle. The lithosphere is the coolest and most rocky part of Earth.
The lithosphere can be broken into separate sections that are known as plates. The geological theory, states that pieces of Earth's lithosphere are very constant, slow motion, often driven by plate tectonics in the mantle. The forces that break the lithosphere come mostly from plate tectonics.
Basically, when the tension makes the lithosphere break into many normal faults then the Fault-block mountains form.

In which direction is the plate moving at point A? A tectonic plate with transform boundaries running North-South. Spreading center ridges are perpendicular to the transform boundaries. Point A is located to the north of two spreading centers, one to the east, and one to the west. Points B and C are located to the south of two different spreading centers.
Based on the direction of the transform boundaries, the plate at point A is moving northward.
Which direction is the plate moving at point A?Point A is located to the north of two spreading centers, one to the east and one to the west. Since spreading centers are perpendicular to transform boundaries, this indicates that the plate at point A is moving in a northward direction.
The spreading centers to the east and west are pushing the plate towards the north which causes it to move in that direction. The fact that points B and C are located to the south of different spreading centers suggests that the plate is moving away from those centers.

Equator
Prime meridian
Latitude
longitude
Answer:
The line that separates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres is the Prime Meridian.
Explanation:
Earth, because of the needs of humans, is artificially divided into hemispheres. On one side it is the division of Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere, and on the other side is the division of Eastern Hemisphere and Western Hemisphere. The line that separates and defines the latter is the Prime Meridian.
The Prime Meridian has been set at Greenwich. It has a longitude of zero, thus it is the starting point for measuring longitude, both east and west. Everything located east of the Prime Meridian and to the Date Line is part of the Eastern Hemisphere. Everything that is located west of the Prime Meridian and to the Date Line is part of the Western Hemisphere.

Describe the use and effectiveness of water desalination as a measure of minimizing water shortages.
Answer:
Explanation:
Washington, DC–Food & Water Watch today released a new report that reveals that ocean desalination, an emerging technology often promoted by private corporations as a solution to drought and water shortages, creates a myriad of environmental and social problems. Desalination: An Ocean of Problemsfinds that desalination–the process of removing salt from seawater to make it drinkable, carries a high price tag, releases unregulated chemicals into drinking water supplies, uses large amounts of energy, pollutes waterways, and threatens fisheries and marine environments, among other drawbacks.
“Private companies are marketing desalination as a long-term solution to water shortages. In reality, they are taking advantage of communities where impending water crises are leading water managers to believe they must adopt extreme measures,” said Wenonah Hauter, executive director, Food & Water Watch. “Desalination is a risky water supply option that actually creates more problems than it solves.”
Desalination: An Ocean of Problems reports the following findings:
Desalination is expensive. Although the price tag varies by region and is often obscured by corporate underestimates and government subsidies, it is more often two to four times as costly as traditional options.
Desalination is bad for the environment and human health. The by-products of desalination include coagulalants, bisulfates, and chlorines. When concentrated waste is dumped into the ocean as it is with desalination, it is harmful to marine life and environments. Furthermore, power plants’ intake mechanisms, which are often teamed with desalination plants, kill at least 3.4 billion fish and other marine organisms annually. In addition to upsetting marine environments, desalination causes fishermen to lose at least 165 million pounds of fish a year today and 717.1 million pounds of potential future catch.
Desalted water also puts drinking water supplies at risk because seawater contains chemicals such as boron, that freshwater does not. Boron, only 50 to 70 percent of which is removed through the desalination process, has been found to cause reproductive problems and developmental problems in animals and irritation of the human digestive track. Current drinking water regulations do not protect the public from boron.
Desalination contributes to global warming and requires large amounts of energy. Removing salt from large volumes of water takes nine times as much energy as surface water treatment and 14 times as much energy as groundwater protection. Emissions created by desalination plants contribute to climate change, a leading factor of the droughts and water shortages the process is intended to mitigate.
Desalination turns water into a commodity. Private corporations are investing in desalination because it is a leading growth area in the global water market. As water becomes a scarcer commodity, global corporations are setting themselves up to sell water for a profit. Furthermore, private control of water makes in much harder to ensure public safety.
“Policy makers can better provide the public with safe, affordable water by implementing conservation measures to protect water supplies. It is up to the government to ensure the integrity of this vital natural resource. It should not be left to private corporations more concerned with revenue than service delivery,” said Hauter.
