I'm not sure about the distance to the nearest star, but it's probably about 4 light-years (L-y).
1 L-y = 1.86 * 10E5 mi/sec * 3600 sec/hr * 24 hr/day * 365 day/yr
1 L-y = 5.9 *10E12 mi and 4 L-y = 2.3 *10E13 mi distance to star
2.3 * 10E13 mi / 900 mi/hr = 2.6 * 10E10 hr hours to star
2.6 * 10E10 hr / (24 hr/day) = 1.1 * 10E9 day days to star
1.1 * 10E9 day / 365 day/yr = 3 * 10E6 yr = 3 million years to star
Answer:
Organic matter
Explanation:
As organic matter continue to build up in a pond, vegetation will begin to appear in the pond. The first set of vegetation to appear are the floating vegetation. Subsequently, submersed plants begin to grow also.
With time, organic sediments continue to fill the pond and its depth is gradually decreased. A swamp or bog is now formed.
This trend of succession continues until the pond eventually turns into land.
To generate clean energy the mayor my build the fooling type of energy plants:
wind farms
solar power plants
wave power plants
Explanation:
At the seaside there are winds all over the year and that can be transformed in electrical energy by a wind turbine. The mayor can build a on-shore wind farm (reduced consts) and may also build off-shore wind farms (but these have an increased cost).
The second option is to build solar power plants. It will be cost effective if the people in the town will install solar panels on the building roofs. In this way you decrease the costs with the transportation of electrical energy.
The third option is to install wave power plants which harvest energy from the sea waves. It is a rather new technology, in comparison with the other two, but the initial consts can be amortized over time.
All three options will provide clean energy.
Right now nuclear plants have a very expensive initial costs and they may not be afforded by small towns.

Answer:
The light rays falling on a rough surface does follow the laws of reflection. The light rays are incident parallel on the rough surface but due to uneven surface the light rays are not reflected parallel rather they are reflected in different direction. Hence, no image is formed.
A compass works the way it does because Earth has a magnetic field that looks a lot like the one in a magnet. The Earth's field is completely invisible, but it can be felt by a compass needle on the Earth's surface, and it reaches thousands of miles out into space.
