Pitch is determined by sound wave frequency; how fast something
is vibrating. High-pitched sounds are higher frequency meaning they
are vibrating faster. Low pitch means they are vibrating
slower.

water vapor begins to condense on condensation nuclei such as dust,
ice and salt. This process forms clouds.

What type of combustion fuels produces the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/14
All carbon based fuels produce carbon dioxide when burned. These include:
fossil fuels (coal. oil, natural gas)
alcohols
bio-fuels (wood, charcoal, waste burning including cremation)
specialty industrial fuels (acetylene etc.)
carbon monoxide
Coal and petroleum are the two primary fossil fuels. Oxidizing methane also releases CO2, but that is 25 times better than releasing methane, itself an even more potent greenhouse gas.

Which of these does not contribute to changing seasons angle of incidence of solar radiation tilt of the earth on its axis distance between the earth and sun or revolution of the earth around the sun
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/14
The distance of the Earth from the sun does not contribute to
the changing seasons. Although this distance does change (since the
Earth's orbit is elliptical, not perfectly circular) the amount of
the change is not great enough to affect the seasons. It is the
angle of incidence of solar radiation, which in turn is affected by
the axial tilt of the Earth and its revolution around the sun,
which creates the changing seasons.
