Think of Earth's shape. How does the shape of Earth affect the amount of heat different
areas receive?

The Earth is an oblate spheroid which is more elongated along the equator.

Regions along the equator receives more amount of direct sunlight from the sun causing higher temperatures along the region. While places along the poles receives less amount of heat since heat is scattered in a larger area due to the shape of the Earth around the poles.

Explanation: So places along the equator experiences higher temperature due to the direct hit of sunlight. And places along the polar regions experiences cooler temperature since it receives less amount of sunlight.

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is

cu1.4o0.7
