How does the angle of which the suns rays strike the earth affect the temp at the earths surface?
blah
What are Pieces of rock that actually strike Earth's surface called?
As a rock is falling through the atmosphere, it is a meteor. When it hits the earths surface, it is a meteoroid.
How does a strike slip fault lead to an earthquake?
An earthquake occurs deep in the earths crust caused by the displacement of two faults in the crust. Directly above the fault on the earths surface is called the epicenter. Which shows the aftermath of the strike slip fault that occured in the earths crust. So the strike slip fault is the effect of the displacement of the crust at that point deep in the earths crust which causes an earthquake to happen whenever there is a displacement of two faults.
Describe the behavior of waves when they strike a surface?
laws of reflection
How hot can a lightning strike get?
The lightning strike can get up to 30,000 Celsius which is 6 times hotter than the surface of the sun.
When the Sun's rays strike earths surface energy is what?
Absorbed
What causes solar radiation to strike different parts of the earths surface at an angle that varies throughout the year?
the Earth's tilted axis.

the Earth's tilted axis.
When the suns rays strike the earths surface energy is absorbed or reflected?
absorbed
How does the angle of which the suns rays strike the earth affect the temp at the earths surface?
blah
Why on earth are the suns rays spread ot all the time?
the sun rays strike the surface at different angles as earth travel around the sun
How does earths surface and the structures on the surface change as result of an earthquake?
The surface of the Earth can be changed by resulting from outer space, like from a meteor strike.

What is the colder at high latitudes because the sun's rays strike earths surface at a angle there?
Oblique

Explain how both kinds of reflection obey the law of reflection?
The angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. In regular reflection, parallel rays strike are reflected from smooth surface at the same angle in diffuse reflection, parallel rays strike and are reflected from a bumpy surface at different angles.
