You are writing a book about a 3,030-mile bike race across the United States. You wonder about a title, and how many pedal strok

es it takes to finish the race. Assuming a pedal stroke is about 16 feet on average, which of the following would be the best book title?

We have that a mile is equal to 5280 feet. Hence the whole distance is 15.998.400 feet in distance. Since every 16 feet we have one stroke, we have to divide the distance by 16 to get the number of strokes. The result is 999.900 strokes. Hence, if one wants to be accurate, the correct title is "999.900 pedal strokes". For poeticness though, maybe the best title is "1 million pedal strokes".

One mile is equal to 5,280 feet. Since one pedal stroke is approximately 16 feet we divide 5280/16 to get 330. That is, there are approximately 330 pedal stroked per mile. Since the ride is 3,030 miles you multiply 330 x 3030 to get 999,990 pedal strokes. Therefore the ride will take approximately 999,990 pedal strokes. This is extremely close to 1,000,000. That is, one million. One million pedal strokes certainly sounds more exciting than 999,990 so my guess is that the answer to the question includes some reference to one million.

Answer:

Eolian sedimentary environment

Explanation:

Winds can transport many different-sized particles of material from the ground through the process of erosion. These particles might travel many kilometers until they deposit somewhere. Regions with scarce vegetation have too much dust and grain-sized particles that move and crush each other, increasing erosion. This process is known as eolic erosion.

The most prominent accumulations of wind deposits are the dunes. However, there are other smaller accumulations such as the ripples and other larger ones called Draas. Their main differences are in addition to size, is the wavelength between them.

Dunes are winds deposits, formations that are, in general, typical of deserts. Dunes are orientated according to the direction and speed of winds, to the presence of loose material, and vegetation. Strong winds transport material until it collides with an object or obstacle where it is deposited, originating a new dune.

Dunes are very dynamic formations that are constantly being remodeled by the direction and strength of the winds. Dunes always have a soft slope and a sharp one. The soft slope is directed to the area or region where the wind is coming from and is the product of the wind erosion on the same dune. The opposite sharp slope is protected from the wind and is the deposition place, where the wind losses strength and the carrying material falls, depositing in this side of the dune.

Sinkiang is a desert in China. Placing yourself at 39 05 52.46N 84 30 56.16E lets you appreciate the duned shape of the ground. By zooming in and out, you can notice the soft and sharp slopes that are forming each of the dunes and the distance between them.

Earth’s tilt causes each hemisphere to receive different amounts of __________. A. energy from the Sun B. water from the oceans
Natasha2012 [34]
Because the earth is situated on a slight tilt and both increases and decreases its distance from the sun, this alters the amount of light around the globe during certain times of the year. During the winter in the northern hemisphere, the northern hemisphere is facing more upwards creating less sunlight but when the earth reaches its revolution on the other side of the sun, it will be facing downwards which allows more sunlight and warmth during the summer for the northern hemisphere.
