The last two times this event happened, astronomers attempted to measure the length of the Astronomical Unit, which is the mean

distance between Earth and the Sun. To do this, they carefully recorded where Venus appeared on the Sun as viewed from two locations on Earth. This relative change in an object’s observed position is called parallax. Based on what you already know about parallax, how is the change in position of Venus related to the actual difference in location on Earth?
A. The closer the Earth locations, the farther apart the Venus locations appear to be.
B. There is no relationship between the distance between Earth locations and the distance between Venus locations on the Sun.
C. The farther apart the Earth locations, the closer together the Venus locations appear to be.
D. The farther apart the Earth locations, the farther apart the Venus locations appear to be.

Answer:

A. The closer the Earth locations, the farther apart the Venus locations appear to be

Explanation:

  • Venus is the closest planet to the earth and is most similar in size but the nearness to the plant depends on the orbit as the planets travel in an ellipse around the sun and thus the distance among them is constantly shifting and changing.
  • Venus takes about 224 days to travel around the sun. Thus the distance from the venus form the earth is about 223 million km.

The frigid temperatures have allowed a lake to become ready for people to ice fish on it. What process has the lake undergone? ​
Burka [1]

Answer:

When the entire lake reaches 40 F, the surface water cools further, dropping below 40 F. Because this water is now less dense than the surrounding water, it will stay on the top and continue to cool. Once the surface water falls to 32 F, it freezes. The freezing then spreads downward into the lake and the ice thickens

Doppler radar can be used to effectively determine all of the following, EXCEPT:
egoroff_w [7]

Answer: amount of precipitation reaching the ground

Explanation:

A Doppler radar uses the Doppler effect when measuring return echoes after having sent a signal (in this specific case microwaves).

In the case of weather radars, a microwave signal is sent to a target and then reflected, so that the radar system measures this difference between the sent signal and the reflected signal.  

So, a Doppler radar is is useful to determine the intensity of the precipitation and its location, <u>by calculating its motion, and estimating its type</u> (for example: rain or snow, among others). In addition, this type of radar is able to <u>determine the height and the structure of storms by detecting the motion of rain droplets</u>.

However, <u>weather radars are not capable to determine the amount of precipitation reaching the ground.</u>

Which ocean in figure 14-1 is represented by point a
forsale [732]

This is the North Atlantic Ocean.

It can be judged by its surrounding, as it is located near the North Pole, we can deduce that it is an ocean located at the north, which could either be north Atlantic or North Pacific.

We can then use the continential plate to help us determine, which is the North America plate.

Therefore this is the North Atlantic Ocean.

Hope it helps!

A 163 square-kilometer (km2) small island is found 2,000km from the mainland. A second, larger, 230,000km2 island is found 1,000
Maru [420]

Answer:

4) The rate of species extinction is lower on the small island than on the large island.

Explanation:

The theory of island biogeography suggested that because of the size and links to the mainland. Fewer species that are not from the island will invade because the distance from the mainland is greater. The threat of extinction due to this is low. The small island also has a lower capacity for different species due to limited resources. This would mean that there are simply fewer species to go extinct.
