Time Zones were established to help deal with the fact that day and night occurs at different times on Earth due to which function?
Answer:
Interestingly, many French maps showed zero degrees in Paris for many years despite the International Meridian Conference’s outcomes in 1884. GMT was the universal reference standard – all other times being stated as so many hours ahead or behind it – but the French continued to treat Paris as the prime meridian until 1911. Even so, the French defined their civil time as Paris Mean Time minus 9 minutes and 21 seconds. In other words, this was the same time as GMT.
In 1972, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) replaced GMT as the world's time standard. France did not formally use UTC as a reference to its standard time zone (UTC+1) until August in 1978.
Standard time, in terms of time zones, was not established in United States law until the Act of March 19, 1918. The act also established daylight saving time in the nation. Daylight saving time was repealed in 1919, but standard time in time zones remained in law, with the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) having the authority over time zone boundaries.
Many countries started using hourly time zones by the late 1920s. Many nations today use standard time zones, but some places use 30 or 45 minute deviations from standard time. Some countries such as China use a single time zone even though their territory extends beyond the 15 degrees of longitude.

Identificar y diferenciar las características de los instrumentos de representación de la superficie terrestre (maoas,cartas,planos,globo terráqueo)
La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.
Las características de estos instrumentos son los siguientes.
El mapa, es la representación gráfica pero más sencilla de un lugar. Podríamos decir que es la descripción simplificada de un sitio, que incluye información métrica. El mapa es el documento básico que usamos para localizar un territorio determinado.
Las cartas sirven a la Geografía representando escalas con mayor detalle. Esto las diferencia de los mapas. En las cartas se pueden representar relieves más finos, incluyendo curvaturas.
Los planos son una herramienta muy útil en la cartografía porque son representaciones o descripciones que ayudan a la Geografía a describir extensiones de territorios a pequeñas escala.
En el caso del globo terráqueo, éste básicamente es usado por los profesores en las escuelas como un respaldo académico, cuyo objeto es enseñarle a los estudiantes las características generales de nuestro planeta. Es una manera lúdica y participativa de enseñar las curvatura de la tierra, los nombres de los continentes, los océanos, entre otras cosas.

All of Earth's systems interact in complex ways. Describe how human behaviors around energy use have caused changes in the greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere. How have these atmospheric changes impacted the amount of Arctic sea ice? And, how have these changes in the cryosphere, impacted the marine ecosystems (biosphere)? How COULD humans change their behavior to reduce these impacts?
Answer:
Well, most transportation methods cause carbon dioxide to go into our atmosphere. Using hairspray is also another way. Because of the high levels of Carbon Dioxide in our atmosphere, global warming has risen (if that’s a word :D). Due to global warming ice in Antartica is melting and the Polar bears are in danger (sadly). Now I can’t tell you anymore about this topic because I don’t know anything about it (I haven’t learned anything else yet) I hope this helped, and if you knew this information I’m really sorry....Have a great day!

Answer:
Ferrel Cell.
Explanation:
Ferrel cell is the circulating air that occurs between 30° and 60° or S of the equator. From 30° latitude to 60° latitude, a new cell is present which is known as the Ferrel Cell. This Ferrel cell produces prevailing westerly winds at the surface on these latitudes. Ferrel cell is a model for the wind circulation of mid-latitude segment of Earth which was proposed by William Ferrel in 1856.
Sarah has received an A, a B, a C and an F on her last four writing assignments. She does not know how she can improve her grades because she doesn’t understand what she is doing wrong.
Answer:
Use brainly. Study more. Go over on the work you got wrong and retry the ones you got wrong.
Explanation: using study guides increase your chance of getting an A. As wells as brainly. As long as you pay attention to the subject.
Answer:
Use Brainly when you need a good explanation, or ask a teacher or someone you trust. Communicating mistakes is key! Also learning by repetition is a fundamental underlining way that us humans learn.
Explanation: To remember something, thinking of it after reading or studying it for the first time. Then think of it again in a minute. Then think of it again in 3-5 minutes. Then 15-20 minutes. The slow repetition is key, contrary to repeating the information in your head persistently. This actually is overthinking in a way because of the high influx(inward movement) of thoughts, which can be unbelievably frustrating when 10 minutes after things constantly about one thing, you can’t remember it. I’ve been there, less is more with your mind sometimes.
