Under the proposal, Missouri could join four other states that set the weeks of unemployment benefits available based upon the statewide unemployment rate. The Senate has already approved the measure which could cap maximum weeks of benefits in the state at 13 weeks if unemployment drops below 6 percent in the state. The state labor departmentâs March unemployment rate of 6.7 percent would mean benefits would be cut from 20 to 15 weeks. The maximum would still be 20 weeks when the unemployment rate is above 9 percent. Bill sponsor Sen. Mike Kehoe, R-Jefferson City, said reduced weeks of benefits has already paid off in Florida and North Carolina.
The Earth orbits the sun in an oval shape. During the time where the Earth is closest to the sun, the season will be summer. The closer the Earth is the more rays from the sunâ¦ that will hit it. More rays, more energy.
Thatâs about as hot as the surface of the sun, but vastly cooler than the sunâs interior. By the way, while the heat energy produced inside Earth is enormous, itâs some 5,000 times less powerful than what Earth receives from the sun.The sunâs heat drives the weather and ultimately causes erosion. So itâs ironic that â while Earthâs heat makes mountains â the sunâs energy tears them down again, bit by bit.ut itâs producing almost as much heat as itâs losing. The process by which Earth makes heat is called radioactive decay. It involves the disintegration of natural radioactive elements inside Earth â like uranium, for example. Uranium is a special kind of element because when it decays, heat is produced.
