Answer:

Option: B. Freshwater resources are not evenly distributed across the Earth’s surface.

Explanation:

Freshwater is a natural occurrence of water, which is seen underneath the ground, in lakes, rivers, ponds etc. The freshwater resources are not equally distributed across the Earth's surface because of the geographical formation of the Earth. Lake Baikal is the largest holder of freshwater on the earth. The Middle East gets its water from underground because of its dry and hot region which has less rainfall.

Fresh water resources are not distributed evenly because some places are more dry than other like the deserts in the middle east and africa.

Calculate the fraction of the total emitted sunlight that reaches Earth. (Hint: Imagine a sphere around the Sun the size of Eart

trapecia [35]

Answer:

1.305 * 10⁻¹⁰

Explanation:

The earth disk is circular, hence the area of the earth disk is given as:

$Area\ of\ earth\ disk=\pi r_{planet}^2\\\\but\ r_{planet}=6371\ km=6371000\ m\\\\Area\ of\ earth\ disk=\pi (6371000)^2\\\\a=1.5*10^8\ km=1.5*10^{11}\ m\\\\Area\ of\ earth\ orbit=4\pi a^2=4\pi (1.5*10^{11})^2.\\\\Therefore:\\\\\frac{Area\ of\ earth\ disk}{Area\ of\ earth\ orbit}=\frac{\pi (6371000)^2}{4\pi (1.5*10^{11})^2} =4.5*10^{-10}\\\\$

This ratio represents the fraction that would be blocked if the planet did not reflect any light, hence:

fraction of the total emitted sunlight reflected by earth = 29% of 4.5 * 10⁻¹⁰ = 0.29 * 4.5 * 10⁻¹⁰ = 1.305 * 10⁻¹⁰
