The Northern Hemisphere is warmer in spring than in winter, because in springA) the days are shorter.
B) it gets more direct sunlight.
C) the Earth is closer to the Sun.
D) it is tilted away from the Sun.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

When the tilt of the earth is towards the sun, then it is called summer in the northern hemisphere. In this position, the sunlight is directly over the earth, as a result of which it absorbs more amount of heat. Spring is the season that starts from about 21st March to 21st of June or it can be considered as the season that exists between the summer and winter. Here, a high amount of sunlight is absorbed due to which the temperature eventually rises.

This is the reason why the northern hemisphere is relatively warmer during the spring season than in winter.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).
Answer 2
Answer: B. It gets more direct sunlight.

17. _______Is a process that could be used to separate dissolved particles from the liquid in a solution.

Answers

The process of separation of the dissolved particles from the liquid in a solution is known as  distillation. In the process of distillation, the particles are separated from the liquid solution by the method of condensation and selective boiling. The separation from this process may be complete or partial. This method is used in the production of alcohol, gasoline, distilled water etc.

Hence, the blank can be filled with 'distillation'.
Distillation is a process that could be used to separate dissolved particles from the liquid in a solution.

Most modern forms of transportation are powered by fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide, methane, carbon monoxide, and other gases are released into the atmosphere during the production and combustion of these fuels. How might these gases cause climatic changes? These gases have no effect on atmospheric temperatures, so they are unable to cause any type of climatic changes. These gases cause more water vapor to condense, making climates wetter than they were in the past. These gases reduce the amount of thermal energy escaping into space, effectively warming the atmosphere.

Answers

The correct answer is the last option.

The first option (unable to cause climate change) is incorrect because these gases do effect the atmospheric temperatures by increasing them.
The second option is incorrect because while these gases do cause more water vapor to condense, they result in acid rain (not wetter climates). 

Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor, are released into the atmosphere in large quantities during the production and combustion of fossil fuels. These gases help to reduce the amount of thermal energy escaping into space, effectively warming the atmosphere.

What do phototropism and geotropism enable plants t do

Answers

Phototropism is when a plant moves towards the sun. Geotropism deals with gravity. It is the turning or growth movement by a plant in response to gravity. This helps the plants roots go deeper ir grow in different directions to find water.

Name the two forms of reservoir of carbon, that regulate the ecosystem carbon cycle. A) Atmosphere and Oceans B) Soil and Vegetation C) Fossil Fuels and Biomass D) Rocks and Sediments

Answers

Answer:

D.Rocks and Sediments

Explanation:

Most carbon is stored in rocks and sediments, while the rest is stored in the ocean, atmosphere, and living organisms. These are the reservoirs, or sinks, through which carbon cycles. The ocean is a giant carbon sink that absorbs carbon.
