Time Zones were established to help deal with the fact that day and night occurs at different times on Earth due to which function?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Interestingly, many French maps showed zero degrees in Paris for many years despite the International Meridian Conference’s outcomes in 1884. GMT was the universal reference standard – all other times being stated as so many hours ahead or behind it – but the French continued to treat Paris as the prime meridian until 1911. Even so, the French defined their civil time as Paris Mean Time minus 9 minutes and 21 seconds. In other words, this was the same time as GMT.

In 1972, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) replaced GMT as the world's time standard. France did not formally use UTC as a reference to its standard time zone (UTC+1) until August in 1978.

Standard time, in terms of time zones, was not established in United States law until the Act of March 19, 1918. The act also established daylight saving time in the nation. Daylight saving time was repealed in 1919, but standard time in time zones remained in law, with the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) having the authority over time zone boundaries.

Many countries started using hourly time zones by the late 1920s. Many nations today use standard time zones, but some places use 30 or 45 minute deviations from standard time. Some countries such as China use a single time zone even though their territory extends beyond the 15 degrees of longitude.

Find the missing side. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer: 10.3 I think

Explanation:

Pythagorean thereum

The missing side B is approximately 10.3 units long when rounded to the nearest tenth.

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

It is represented by the equation [tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex], where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the other two sides.

To find the missing side, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Let's assume side B is the missing side. Using the Pythagorean theorem:

[tex]B^2 = C^2 - A^2\\B^2 = 11^2 - 3.9^2\\B^2 = 121 - 15.21\\B^2 = 105.79\\B = \sqrt{105.79}\\B = 10.3[/tex]

Therefore, the missing side B is approximately 10.3 units long when rounded to the nearest tenth.

Why is it important to hear the water for this investigation? What heats the water in the oceans, lakes, and rivers found on Earth?

Answers

Answer:

The water in ocean, lakes and rivers are heated by the Sun, sunlight hits the ocean which is dispersed by the first 1000 meters of the oceans surface. This hot water is mixed with the cold water at the bottom of the ocean by ocean waves and this is the reason why ocean waves are at a regular temperature.

In a lake the water is heated the same way but there is not much water to mix the hot water with the cold so the water in the lake seems hotter than the ocean.

In a river the water keeps on flowing which mixes the hot water with the cold and the temperature remains regular.

Explanation:

Sound is a wave which is created by vibration, and these sound waves can travel in different mediums for example, air, liquid and even solid.

Why do you think Albertans often defend the oil sands, while those of us who live elsewhere find them easier to criticize?

what does the wavelength correspond to in a sound wave

Answers

Answer: 1 m

Explanation:

It is simply the size of a wave, measured from one peak to the next. If one imagines a sound wave as something like a water wave, then the wavelength is simply the distance from the crest of the one wave to the next nearest crest. Thus, if the distance between two peaks is 1m, then the wavelength is 1 m.

Help ASAP 20 points! i'm doing a CER for science and i need the evidence.... It's about Oxbow lakes! Thank you and PLEASE ANSWER NOW!

Answers

Answer: An oxbow lake starts out as a curve, or meander, in a river. A lake forms as the river finds a different, shorter, course. The meander becomes an oxbow lake along the side of the river.

Oxbow lakes usually form in flat, low-lying plains close to where the river empties into another body of water. On these plains, rivers often have wide meanders.

Meanders that form oxbow lakes have two sets of curves: one curving away from the straight path of the river and one curving back. The corners of the curves closest to each other are called concave banks. The concave banks erode over time. The force of the rivers flowing water wears away the land on the meanders concave banks.

The banks opposite the concave banks are called convex banks. The opposite of erosion happens here. Silt and sediment build up on convex banks. This build-up is called deposition.

Erosion and deposition eventually cause a new channel to be cut through the small piece of land at the narrow end of the meander. The river makes a shortcut. Oxbow lakes are the remains of the bend in the river.

Oxbow lakes are stillwater lakes. This means that water does not flow into or out of them. There is no stream or spring feeding the lake, and it doesnt have a natural outlet. Oxbow lakes often become swamps or bogs, and they often dry up as their water evaporates.

Oxbow lakes can be rich wildlife habitats. Along the Amazon River in South America, oxbow lakes are common and their still waters provide a unique habitat for plants and wildlife. Giant river otters frequently live in the Amazons oxbow lakes, and feed on about 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of fish per day.

People often create oxbow lakes. The Mississippi River is shorter now than it was in the 19th century, for instance, because engineers have cut off hundreds of meanders. This created hundreds of oxbow lakes. These lakes eventually dried up to create acres of land for farming, housing, and industry.

An oxbow lake gets its name from the U-shaped collar placed around an oxs neck to which a plow is attached. It can also be called a horseshoe lake, a loop lake, or a cutoff lake.
