b. Uluru
c. Mount Cook
d. Vinson Massif

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer is - c. Mount Cook.

Mount Cook, or Aoraki as it is known among the native Maori population, is the highest peak in New Zealand. It is part of the Southern Alps, on the South Island. Mount Cook is part of a chain of mountain peaks that run through most of New Zealand and create a beautiful mountainous landscape. This peak is actually getting smaller as the years pass by, and it lost 40 meters of height in the period between 1991 and 2014, and this is mainly caused by rock-slides, and of course, by erosion.
Answer 2
Answer: mount cook is the tallest peak.

The study of the Earth's magnetic field is known as
a. paleomagnetism.
b. isochronism.
c. topography.
d. geology.

Answers

The correct answer for 1 is D. geosphere. Geosphere is the solid part of the of the universe, often confused with litosphere but the litosphere is just on the top. Hydrosphere is all the water on the world, while atmosphere is all the air. Biosphere is all the living beings. The answer for 2 is A. paleomagnetism.

The change of air temperature with height is theA. dry adiabatic rate.
B. environmental lapse rate.
C. wet adiabatic rate.
D. thermal rate.

Answers

The change of air temperature with height is the environmental lapse rate. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". It is a fact that heat can never leave or enter a system and all the changes of temperature take place internally. I hope it helps.

Answer: (B) Environmental lapse rate.

Explanation:

 The change in temperature of the air with the height in atmosphere is known as the environmental lapse rate. The environmental lapse rate of the Earth is the decline in temperature with increasing atmospheric altitude. In the atmosphere, the air molecule density basically affects the pressure of the air.

The air force on the surface of the Earth, it is one of the highest at the level of the sea and decreases steadily with the given altitude. The environmental lapse rate is the highly affected by the three main factors are as follows:

  • Condensation
  • Radiation
  • Convection

The major difference between Earth and the other planets in our solar system is that _____.Earth has an atmosphere
Earth has a lithosphere
Earth has a biosphere
Earth has a cryosphere

Answers

The major difference between Earth and the other planets in our solar system is that Earth has an atmosphere. The atmosphere is the reason why Earth is livable place.

The main difference between earth and other planets is not atmosphere other planets have an atmosphere just not that is able to retain life like earth so therefore it would end up being a biosphere a sphere containing lifeforms
