Out of the following choices, the following factors that the city planner should consider after what happened to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina hit are the city's position near a large river or gulf, the city;s location near a deep water harbor, and the city's elevation above sea level.
The theory of continental drift by Alfred Wegener states that all land masses were originally united
in a single supercontinent known as Pangaea (250 million years ago). He shows
evidences like continental fit, similarity of rock sequences, glacial till and
striations, fossils (cynogathus-land reptile, lystrosaurus-land reptile,
mesosaraus-freshwater reptile, glossopteris-fern plant) to support his theory but
what was lacking is that it lacked a mechanism to explain HOW the continents
moved apart. But Harry Hess, a geologist and Navy submarine commander during
WWII <span>brought up a new
evidence to add in support of Wegener’s theory: the idea of seafloor spreading and magnetic reversals.</span>
The first map shows colonized nations in 1945. European powers had colonized vulnerable and faltering nations to undergird their economies. The second map shows that, even more than 50 years later, the majority of moderately developed or underdeveloped nations were former colonies of the presently highly developed nations. This conclusion supports neocolonialism in that former colonies have moved toward industrialization and economic independence. The economies of the former colonies are still, to an extent, dictated by, and even hampered by, their former colonizers.
1. Waves hitting at an angle and then bending around features of the coast is known as wave refraction.
2. Landforms associated with longshore drift form where the sediment is plentiful enough to create them.
3. When there is longshore drift, the overall direction of sand transport is parallel to the coast..
4. In order to produce longshore drift, the direction of waves must not be perpendicular to the coast.
5. A baymouth bar forms when longshore drift creates a ridge of sand separating a waterway from the ocean.
6. The direction that sediment is traveling along a coast is called the downstream direction.
Explanation:
Waves forms different kinds of land form in the coastal areas. Waves hit coast in a particular angle It is known as wave refraction. When sediments get deposited in the coastal areas and forms a bar which get detached from the shore is called long shore bar.
To create long shore drift the direction of wind should not be perpendiular to the coast. Direction will be parallel. A baymouth bar is formed when a ridge of sand is created and separates the waterway from ocean. Sediments travel along the coast in downstream direction.
Answer: (b) Planet orbit shown as a moderately-flattened ellipse slightly wider than the others with the Sun at precise center of the ellipse. Minor axis is the same as other ellipses.
Explanation:
According to the first Kepler Law of Planetary motion, the orbit of a planet around the Sun, is in the form of an ellipse <u>with the Sun at one of the two foci of that ellipse</u>. This is also valid for any mass orbiting another mass greater than the first one in the space.
In this context, the ellipse is a conic, whose eccentricity is between 0 and 1. So, when its value is 0 we are talking about a circular orbit and when it is 1, a parabolic orbit.
That is, the nearer to the value of 1 (without reaching 1) the eccentricity of the orbit is, the more elliptical it will be.
In this sense, the only option that is incorrect is:
(b) Planet orbit shown as a moderately-flattened ellipse slightly wider than the others <u>with the Sun at precise center of the ellipse</u>. Minor axis is the same as other ellipses.
This statement contradicts Kepler's first law, because the Sun is <u>at one of the two foci of that ellipse</u>. The only way in which the Sun can be at the very center of the orbit is when we talk about a circular orbit. Since a circumference is a especial case of an elipse with eccentricity zero and we get only the center instead of the two foci.
