Answer:
he Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) supports the use of deep geologic repositories for the safe storage and/or disposal of radioactive waste. The Act establishes procedures to evaluate and select sites for geologic repositories and for the interaction of state and federal governments. It also provides a timetable of key milestones the federal agencies must meet in carrying out the program.
Explanation:
The NWPA assigns the Department of Energy (DOE) the responsibility to site, build, and operate a deep geologic repository for the disposal of high-level waste and spent nuclear fuel. It directs EPA to develop standards for protection of the general environment from offsite releases of radioactive material in repositories. The Act directs the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to license DOE to operate a repository only if it meets EPA's standards and all other relevant requirements.

Time Zones were established to help deal with the fact that day and night occurs at different times on Earth due to which function?
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 Daylight saving time was repealed in 1919, but standard time in time zones remained in law, with the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) having the authority over time zone boundaries.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.
It is not yet established if climate change leads to increase risk from pests, disease and invasive non native species
Answer:
It changes the distribution of organisms.
Explanation:
Climate change has a great effect on the present vegetation and animals due to increase risk from pests, disease and invasive species which are also present in that environment because the environment is favorable for the pest, diseases and invasive species whereas unfavorable for the vegetation and native organisms that are living in that environment for a long time. Due to this change in climate, the distribution of both vegetation as well as organisms changed in the environment.

How do the Brandt line, Walt Rostow's, Moderization model, neocolonialism, and wallerstein's systems theory inform and intersect with each other when explaining economic development?
Answer:
All the model, i.e. the Moderization model, Walt Rostow's, Brandt line, Wallerstein's systems theory and neocolonialism help predicting whether any country has a high development or poor development.
Explanation:
All the models helps to predict different developments in a country. They provide explanations to the disparities in the economic development. The Wallerstein's systems theory is used to divides the world according to the development in them as the core nations, semi-periphery nations and periphery nations. The core nations are the most developed nations in the world. The developing countries are termed as semi periphery nations while the underdeveloped nations are the periphery nations.
The theory of Wallerstein's systems intersects the model of Brandt Line. According to the Brandt Line Model, the world is divided into North and South. According to this model, the countries in the North are the developed nations.
According to the perspective of a neocolonialist, the core nations were colonizers of the peripheral nations. So they dictate the trade and economies of the underdeveloped nations and their independences.
The economic growth is required for the periphery countries in order to shift from subsistence economies to the industrialization, as demanded by the Rostow's, Moderization model.

Which of the following is NOT a proposed method of interstellar travel?
A. Bussard Ramjet
B. Interstellar fluid travel
C. Solar Sail
D. Warp Drive
Answer: C. solar sail
Explanation: hope I'm right if I'm wrong I'm sorry
Answer: C (Educated Guess, read about wind below)
Explanation:
It’s a guess, more so a presumption. A solar sail would require what a sail on earth does to make its main part move..... wind flow. Yet wind flow, aka convection, is caused by the sun warming air on different parts of the earth, increasing its pressure, pushing away cold air, creating wind. There isn’t any surface in space that the heat can build upon... not knowing anything about the other choices, this about choice C is enough to convince me that it is the one that is not effective.
