question:Answer the following question: Given the background: Some of Antarctica has been warming up; particularly strong warming has been noted on the Antarctic Peninsula. A study by Eric Steig published in 2009 noted for the first time that the continent-wide average surface temperature trend of Antarctica is slightly positive at >0.05 °C (0.09 °F) per decade from 1957 to 2006. This study also noted that West Antarctica has warmed by more than 0.1 °C (0.2 °F) per decade in the last 50 years, and this warming is strongest in winter and spring. This is partly offset by autumn cooling in East Antarctica. There is evidence from one study that Antarctica is warming as a result of human carbon dioxide emissions, but this remains ambiguous. The amount of surface warming in West Antarctica, while large, has not led to appreciable melting at the surface, and is not directly affecting the West Antarctic Ice Sheet's contribution to sea level. Instead the recent increases in glacier outflow are believed to be due to an inflow of warm water from the deep ocean, just off the continental shelf. The net contribution to sea level from the Antarctic Peninsula is more likely to be a direct result of the much greater atmospheric warming there.In 2002 the Antarctic Peninsula's Larsen-B ice shelf collapsed. Between 28 February and 8 March 2008, about 570 km2 (220 sq mi) of ice from the Wilkins Ice Shelf on the southwest part of the peninsula collapsed, putting the remaining 15,000 km2 (5,800 sq mi) of the ice shelf at risk. The ice was being held back by a "thread" of ice about 6 km (4 mi) wide, prior to its collapse on 5 April 2009. According to NASA, the most widespread Antarctic surface melting of the past 30 years occurred in 2005, when an area of ice comparable in size to California briefly melted and refroze; this may have resulted from temperatures rising to as high as 5 °C (41 °F).A study published in Nature Geoscience in 2013 (online in December 2012) identified central West Antarctica as one of the fastest-warming regions on Earth. The researchers present a complete temperature... and the situation: Frank and Noah were two researchers. Noah researched the climate of Antarctica, while Frank researched the climate changes of Madagascar and the Southern tip of Africa. Answer the following question: Which researcher observed a particularly strong warming? Answer:
answer:Noah observed a particularly strong warming, as he was the researcher focused on the climate of Antarctica.
question:Explain simply why no is the correct answer to: Given the sentence "A man with a braided bandanna stands behind a drum set." is it true that "Woman playing drum set."?. Explanation:
answer:The sentence "A man with a braided bandanna stands behind a drum set" does not match the statement "Woman playing drum set" because in the given sentence, the subject is a man, not a woman, and he is standing behind the drum set, not explicitly playing it. Therefore, the answer is no.
question:Choose the sentence that goes against common sense. Options: - Sentence A: "If you don't eat anything all day, that is called eating fast." - Sentence B: "If you don't eat anything all day, that is called "fasting."" Let's reason step by step:
answer:To determine which sentence goes against common sense, let's first understand the meaning of each sentence: - Sentence A: "If you don't eat anything all day, that is called eating fast." This sentence implies that not eating anything throughout the day is defined as "eating fast," which is essentially a contradiction in terms. "Eating fast" would typically mean consuming food quickly, so this sentence does not align with the common understanding of the phrase. - Sentence B: "If you don't eat anything all day, that is called "fasting."" Fasting is the practice of abstaining from food or drink, usually for religious, health, or other reasons. This sentence accurately describes the act of not eating anything all day as fasting. Given the explanations above, it's clear that Sentence A goes against common sense, while Sentence B aligns with our general understanding of fasting.
question:What term describes the countries England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland and held the British Home Championship in 1959-60. A:
answer:The term that describes the countries England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland is "the Home Nations." These nations participated in the British Home Championship, a football competition, during the 1959-60 season. The British Home Championship was an annual tournament held between the Home Nations from 1884 to 1984, making it one of the world's first international football competitions.
