What does Kepler’s second law state about the orbit of planets?

Back

A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.

Front

How would Earth's seasons change if its axis was not tilted?

Front

What is the definition of metamorphic rocks?

Back

Rocks that have been changed from their original form by heat, pressure, or chemically active fluids.

Front

What is the difference between igneous and sedimentary rocks?

Back

Igneous rocks form from the cooling of molten rock, while sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation of sediments.

What is a tectonic plate?

Back

A massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock that makes up the Earth's lithosphere.

Front

What is the significance of the mid-ocean ridge?

Back

It is a divergent boundary where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity.

Front

What is the role of magma in the formation of volcanic islands?

Back

Magma rises to the surface and solidifies, forming new land.
