Which of the following statements regarding insolation is correct? (There is more than one possible answer.) Insolation is strongest near the equator and weakest near the poles. At the Tropic of Capricorn, the sun's zenith is at 90 degrees around December 21. Daily insolation depends on the angle of the sun in the sky and for how many hours. D In Orlando, the sun's zenith is never at 90-degrees. Areas north of the Arctic Circle receive 24 hours of daylight during the summer solstice, but at a very low angle.
The foliated texture of the rock (as exhibited by the banding of different colored minerals) provides evidence for the orientation of the maximum differential stress involved in its metamorphism. For this model!what is the direction of the maximum differential stress placed on the rock? View Available Hint(s) Along a direction roughly parallel to the orientation of the mineral layers Along a direction from the top to the bottom Along a direction at 45^circ to the orientation of the mineral layers Equally in all directions
