Astronomical sources emit electromagnetic radiation at various wavelengths. some sources might emit just visible and infrared radiation. other sources might emit gamma, uv, visible, and infrared radiation. some of that radiation travels in the direction of earth and can be detected with the right telescopes placed in the right locations. some wavelengths can be read in the atmosphere. however, the majority of wavelengths are either read from space or earth's surface. which observations would require you to launch a telescope above the earth's atmosphere? drag each observing mode below into either the ground-based (surface) zone or space-borne (space) zone, depending on the respective observing requirements. drag the appropriate items to their

The answer is;

Space Zone:

- Far-infrared observations- Gamma-ray observations- X-ray observations- Far-ultraviolet observations

Surface Zone:

- Visible observations- Radio observations

Launching telescopes to outer space to detect some spectrum of radiation is to avoid interference by the earth atmosphere and magnetic field, and secondary sources from the earth. Some of this spectrum produced by distant astronomical objects are very faint by the time they get to earth. Observing from space ensures to get the clearest picture.

Radiation waves and visible light can travel longer distances with little interference due to their long wavelengths. Therefore, they can reach the earth’s surface as compared to the electromagnetic spectrum of lower wavelengths (which are prone to interference distortion).

Ok so i just did that quiz and here are the answers: 1. how is continental crust different from oceanic crust? a. continental crust is more dense and contains a lot of basalt.b.continental crust is thinner and younger. < c. oceanic crust is thinner and younger.d.oceanic crust is thicker and contains a lot of granite.2. where do subduction zones often occur? a.where a continental plate is being split into two partsb.where an oceanic plate is moving toward a continental plate < c.where two oceanic plates are moving away from each otherd.where two continental plates are colliding3. at which type of boundary do lithospheric plates collide? a.convection boundariesb.contour boundariesc.gravitational boundariesd.convergent boundaries < 4. what is the best description of a convergent boundary? a.plates that move side by side past each otherb.plates that are attracted to each other by gravity  c.plates that move away from each otherd.plates that move toward each other < 5. how can mountain formation be described according to the theory of plate tectonics? a.as two continental plates collide along a convergent boundary, mountains are formed. < b.as a continental plate and an oceanic plate come together at a divergent boundary, mountains are formed.c.as any two plates meet at a fault line boundary, mountains are formed.d. as two continental plates move past each other at a transform boundary, mountains are formed.
