Why the climate is so hot near the equator?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: There are a number of reasons why it is hotter near the equator. The chief factor is that the sun is at a rather slant angle at the poles when the sun is overhead at the equator. Another factor is absorption and scattering of sunshine as it passes through the atmosphere.

Branson wants to prove that the diagonals in a rectangle are congruent.Select the appropriate rephrased statement for Branson's proof.

Answers

Answer:

what ever D is.

Explanation:

Final answer:

Branson can prove that the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent by showing that the two triangles formed by drawing the diagonals share equal sides and angles, therefore making the triangles congruent, which in turn means their corresponding sides (the diagonals) are congruent.

Explanation:

To prove that the diagonals in a rectangle are congruent, Branson can use the properties of a rectangle and congruent triangles. A rectangle is defined as a quadrilateral with four right angles. By drawing the diagonals of a rectangle, you are essentially creating two triangles which share a common side (the diagonal) and have two pairs of corresponding sides (the lengths of the rectangle) that are equal because opposite sides of a rectangle are equal in length. In addition, both triangles have a right angle. Since we know that side-side-angle (SSA) is enough to prove congruency in right-angled triangles, we can conclude that the two triangles are congruent. As corresponding parts of congruent triangles, the diagonals must therefore be congruent as well.

Select all the answers that apply. Types of evidence that astronomers use to estimate the age of the universe and stars include _____. radioactive dating of rocks fossil evidence movement of galaxies molecular clocks chemical composition of the Sun Geological evidence of the age of the earth includes _____. radiometric dating of rocks fossil evidence comparative anatomy molecular clocks gradual processes of rock formation

Answers

The answer that apply;

  1. Movement of galaxies
  2. Chemical composition of the Sun.

Light and the time it takes to traverse between particular points in the universe is used to calculate the age of distant stars and galaxies. Because of the vast nature of the universe, light takes earth years for it to travel from one galaxy to another. By knowing the speed of light and the amount of time taken for the light to travel from a distant celestial body, and use of geometric calculations, and brightness measurements we can tell in approximation the age of the celestial body. The age can also star can also be determined by their composition. Youg stars are mainly found have lighter elements such as helium. As they age, they have more composition of heavier elements such as iron. This is due to the fusion at the core of the sun that fuses lighter elements to heavier elements.




The answers that apply are;

  1. radiometric dating of rocks
  2. fossil evidence
  3. gradual processes of rock

Radiometric dating means the use of half-life of naturally decaying elements such as carbon-14 to tell the age of a fossil or rock. The gradual formation of rocks such as lithification of sedimentary rock or metamorphosis of rock is also used to calculate the age of the earth by studying the stage in the process in which the rocks are in and extrapolating the age using calculations.


Types of evidence that astronomers use to estimate the age of the universe and stars include movement of galaxies.

Geological evidence of the age of the earth includes fossil evidence.
