how do Geographers define the boundaries of the oceans

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The borders of the oceans are the limits of Earth's oceanic waters. The definition and number of oceans can vary depending on the adopted criteria. Smaller regions of the oceans are called seas, gulfs, bays, straits, and other terms. Geologically, an ocean is an area of oceanic crust covered by water.

What is the current state of Communist China in the 21st century?

Answers

Answer:

China’s Communist Party turns a century old this July, a milestone that Beijing is celebrating with a crescendo of fireworks, theatrics and a fervent campaign to honor its revolutionary past.

The party has often lurched between tragedy and triumph between its birth as an underground movement and its current dominance over the world’s most populous nation. It seized power in 1949, and its early decades in government were tumultuous, with Mao Zedong launching radical purges and a disastrous industrial program that led to one of the deadliest famines in history.

Mao’s death in 1976 precipitated political and economic changes under Deng Xiaoping that would transform an impoverished nation into a global economic powerhouse.

If an earthquake measures 1.5 on the Richter Scale, what is the intensity of this earthquake, relative to a 0-level earthquake? Round off your answer to the nearest integer.

Answers

Answer:

Intensity depends on the distance form the ground and source of energy.

Explanation:

Earth quake that has an intensity of 1.5 on the Richter scale can be detected only through the seismograph. The earthquake with an intensity of 0 levels on the Richter scale that is below micro will not be felt or rarely felt in scale. This can be defied by the Richter scale formula of  R=log(IcIn), Ic is the intensity and In is the intensity if the standards earthquake. Hence the difference will be R2−R1=log(I2I1)

All of the following describe likely air mass source regions in the summer EXCEPT: Group of answer choices the subtropical Western Atlantic Ocean Northern Mexico the Central United States the subtropical Eastern Pacific Ocean

Answers

Answer:  the Central United States

Explanation:

Air mass regions in the summer are usually around the middle latitudes of the Earth which means that they are closer to the Equator. This includes subtropical regions of the world including the subtropical Eastern Pacific and Western Atlantic Oceans.

Northern Mexico is also quite close to the middle latitudes so the most logical answer from the options is Central U.S. because it is the furthest from the equator and the middle latitudes of Earth.

mối quan hệ giữa quá trình nội lực và ngoại lực

Answers

Answer:

The importance of categorizing a force as being either internal or external is related to the ability of that type of force to change an object's total mechanical energy when it does work upon an object. When net work is done upon an object by an external force, the total mechanical energy (KE + PE) of that object is changed.

Explanation:

B.
It is equal to about 1 times the mean absolute deviation of either data set.
C.
It is equal to about 1.5 times the mean absolute deviation of either data set.
D.
It is equal to about 2 times the mean absolute deviation of either data set.

Answers

Answer:

B.) It is equal to about 1 times the mean absolute deviation of either data set.

Explanation:

Given the scores :

Williams :

89,97, 78, 81, 91

Andre :

90, 74, 73, 87, 82

The mean scores :

Mean = ΣX / n

William's mean score = 436 / 5 = 87.2

Mean absolute deviation :

[|89-87.2| + |97-87.2| + |78-87.2| +|81-87.2| + |91-87.2|] / 5

William's mean absolute deviation = 6.16

Andre's mean score = 406 / 5 = 81.2

Andre's mean absolute deviation =

[|90-81.2| + |74-81.2| + |73-81.2| +|87-81.2| + |82-81.2|] / 5 = 6.16

Difference of the mean = 87.2 - 81.2 = 6

Mean absolute deviation of each dataset = 6.16

The closest relationship between the mean difference and the mean absolute deviation is :

Mean difference is about 1 times the mean absolute deviation

Choose the correct explanation why the following statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false):
Gravitational waves are best observed with the Hubble Space Telescope.
a. This statement does not make sense. We do not have technologies for direct observations of gravitational waves.
b. This statement is clearly true. The HST firstly observed the gravitational waves from the merge of two black holes in 2015.
c. This statement does make sense. As a space telescope, the HST can be used as an interferometer with a very long base and can detect tiny distortions of space.
d. This statement is clearly false. The HST observes visible and infrared light, not gravitational waves.

Answers

Answer: This statement is clearly false. The HST observes visible and infrared light, not gravitational waves.

Explanation:

Gravitational waves refers to ripples in spacetime. The statement that gravitational waves are best observed with the Hubble Space Telescope is false.

This is because the Hubble Space Telescope is used in observing visible and infrared light, not gravitational waves. The telescope has helped scientists to understand how the planets are formed.

A thermally-driven circulation develops because: Group of answer choices in cold, dense air, isobars bunch closer together, while in adjacent warm, less dense air, they spread farther apart. aloft, high pressure develops in cold air regions while low pressure develops in warm air regions. at the surface, high pressure develops in warm air regions while low pressure develops in cold air regions. cold air rises and warm air sinks.

Answers

Answer:

Aloft high pressure develops in cold air regions while low pressure develops in warm air regions

Explanation:

A thermally-driven circulation, or thermals are the movement of warm air that move to a higher level due to the buoyancy forces acting on them. That is due to the difference in densities between the warmed and cool air

Given that pressure = Density, ρ × Gravity, g × Height, h, we have that decrease in pressure (low pressure) is due to low density, therefore, the warm air having low pressure, moves upwards, due to their low density

Therefore, the best option is aloft, (as we move higher), high pressure develops in cold air regions while low pressure develops in warm air regions

Surface features that are created when water dissolves limestone, like sinkholes and disappearing streams, are parts of Group of answer choices a potentiometric surface. a geothermal landscape. a karst landscape. an artesian surface.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is ''a karst landscape.''

Explanation:

A karst landscape is due to the erosion of water in limestone, that is, it is the surface of the earth resulting from the action of water on soluble rocks, in a slow dissolution process that takes thousands and even millions of years –approximately 5 mm of advance in the rock every hundred years–. The phenomenon is common in limestone rocks. This type of relief originated from the dragging or accumulation of soluble and disintegrated materials, such as those made up of carbonates. Limestone rock can decompose with water, since it is soluble; this solubility increases with the presence of acids produced by the mixture of CO2 and water, or by organic acids from the microbial activity of the soil. In this way, the limestone rocks fragment and form holes that, over time, give rise to various types and sizes of holes or depressions on the surface.

Discuss on the major problem of urban centres of ethiopia

Answers

Answer: Urban centers in Ethiopia are ridden by a variety of socio-economic issues such as illiteracy, unemployment, and especially poverty.

Explanation: They can also lack environmental management, lack of stability in infrastructure and buildings, as well as lack of investment in the local human population.  

While there has been an increase in construction, the quality of construction itself has been poor as the government has felt pressure to rapidly build in order to meet demand and immediate needs.  However this can mean very costly rehabilitation of the faulty construction in the future.  

In addition, in urban Ethiopia, women out number men which has contributed to the poverty level as their main source of employment is agriculture.  

Furthermore, many times there is only one main road within the urban centers which contributes to a lack of infrastructure and overcrowds the area.

Finally, there is also a lack of post secondary education and medical facilities.
