Term1/16

If Earth didn't rotate what would be one major obstacle life would have to overcome

Term1/16

What are the names of the two main types of wetlands

Definition1/16

marshes
swamps

Term1/16

Why is it difficult to find evidence of life on other planets

Definition1/16

becasue,we dont have the technology to reach other galaxies. also we cant determine if there is or not.

Term1/16

What two characteristics of earth allow liquid water to exist

Definition1/16

-Gravity (so it doesnt float away)

-Temp (not too hot or cold)

Term1/16

What does earth do when it spin on its axis

Definition1/16

On its axis Earth rotates around the sun.

Term1/16

What are two ways life would be different if earth did not have motion of revolution

Definition1/16

There would be no change in season on Earth at a particular place

The poles will get colder & the tropical regions will get more hotter

Term1/16

When Earth is closest to the sun the northern hemisphere is in winter Given the effects of precession will this still be the case in 13000 years

Definition1/16

The shape, size, and mass of water molecules do not change between the solid and gas phases.

Term1/16

Which of these is exidence that supports the big bang theory

Definition1/16

That depends on what you mean by "these".

Definition1/16

After our own Sun, the closest star is called Proxima Centauri.

Term1/16

What does Earths axis of rotation is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees . what is one change you would see on earth of its axis was not tilted

Definition1/16

Mainly, there would be no seasons.
