Answer:How does wet soil differ from dry soil in its ability to absorb heat?(1 point)

• Wet soil absorbs heat more slowly, due to water's low evaporation point.

• Wet soil absorbs heat more quickly, due to water's high heat capacity.

• Wet soil absorbs heat more slowly, due to water's high heat capacity.

• Wet soil absorbs heat more quickly, due to water's low evaporation point.

Which of these changes Earth’s climate mainly over time spans of millions of years?(1 point)

• plate tectonics ****

• human interactions

• ocean currents

• volcanic eruption

How does Earth’s tilt affect climate?(1 point)

• It causes days to be warmer and nights to be cooler.

• It produces uneven heating of Earth’s surface by the sun.****

• It causes some areas to be closer to the sun and others farther away.

• It produces winds that have a cooling effect in areas close to the poles.

When a weather forecaster predicts a "low-pressure system" will pass through the area, what type of weather should be expected? (1 point)

• sunny, fair weather

• much colder weather

• a severe storm such as a hurricane

• clouds and possible precipitation****

A weather model applies mathematical equations to(1 point)

• each place on Earth weather data have been collected.

• the average weather conditions in an area.

• each grid point on a three-dimensional grid. ****

• the temperature in a location every 30 minutes.

Which of the following is true of the surface water and deep water of the ocean? (1 point)

• There is little vertical mixing between layers because currents only flow sideways.

• There is constant vertical mixing between layers because the warm water is atop the colder water.

• There is constant vertical mixing as freshwater evaporates and the salty surface water that remains sinks.

• There is little vertical mixing between layers because the warm water is atop the colder water.****

On what are weather models based?(1 point)

• physics that describes how air moves and heat and moisture are exchanged****

• physical science that describes how water changes state in the atmosphere

• chemistry that describes how the different materials in the atmosphere interact

• astronomy that describes how Earth's atmosphere changes

Why is the average annual high temperature in Cape Hatteras, NC higher than the average annual high temperature in Monterey, CA?(2 points)

• A warm water deep current flows along the east coast of the United States and a cold water deep current flows along the west coast of the United States.

• A warm water surface current flows along the east coast of the United States and a cold water surface current flows along the west coast of the United States.****

• A cold water surface current flows along the east coast of the United States and a warm water surface current flows along the west coast of the United States.

• A cold water deep current flows along the east coast of the United States and a warm water deep current flows along the west coast of the United States.

The answer would be a because the jet stream is very cold and come down to the water like a magnet sort of and keeps the top of the water cold so there for you have a cold water current on the top of the water so the answer is )A

Once a new finding is published in a scientific journal, it is still only preliminary and must undergo repeated testing to event

aalyn [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is - true.

Explanation:

The scientific journal is are the journals that publish the recent scientific findings or scientific experiments that produce new and appropriate results regarding particular experiment or research/

To confirm an experiment, published finding must be tested repeatedly by different scientists and researchers and see if the results are same in particular conditions.

Thus, the correct answer is - true.

If the mutation occurred where one base was changed to another within the cutting area of a restriction enzyme what would happen

natima [27]

The base change in the mutation of the cutting area of a restriction enzyme would determine whether a person is the bearer of that particular DNA.

Explanation:

The digestion of nucleic acid is done by the enzymes of restriction. It helps in recognizing the nucleotides sequence inside a DNA strand. It’s use detects in a DNA the points of mutation and helps in eliminating the need of sequencing.

This enzyme cuts DNA which later can be seen by using electrophoresis gel the bearing of the sequence by an individual. But this enzyme won’t recognize the site if any nucleotide pair is replaced.

Science when birds remain airborne and moving without flapping their wings, on what are they gliding?

Citrus2011 [14]

Soaring is a science when birds remain airborne and moving without flapping their wings. They are maintaining thrust and gliding downward but staying aloft

<h3 /><h3>Further explanation</h3>

Soaring birds is where the birds can maintain flight without wing flapping, because they using rising air currents. Many gliding birds are able to lock their extended wings by means of a specialized tendon. Some land birds such as vultures and certain hawks, sustain flight for long periods without flapping their wings.

For example soaring California Condor spreads its primary feathers so that each acts as a small, high-aspect-ratio wing. This reduces turbulence at the wingtips and helping the condor to stay aloft circling slowly in thermals.

Vultures have a low aspect ratio (ratio of length to width of the wing) which generally produce a lot of drag. Vultures overcome the problem of by flying with their primary feathers extended, creating slots between them. Each primary serves as an individual high-aspect-ratio wing. This high-aspect-ratio reducing wingtip turbulence and lowering the stalling speed of the wings. This helps vultures to circle in thermals, maintaining thrust by gliding downward, but staying aloft by sinking at a rate slower than the hot air rising.
