RP3 Review

A nebula is a large cloud of gas and dust in space where stars are formed.

It is warmer in the summer because of more direct sunlight due to Earth's tilt.

Tides are caused by the differences in the moon's and sun's gravitational pull on different sides of the Earth.

A transform plate boundary is where tectonic plates slide or move past each other.

A spring tide occurs during a full moon.

A neap tide occurs when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides, while a spring tide occurs when the sun and moon are aligned, resulting in higher high tides.

Gravity pulls together gas and dust in a nebula, leading to the formation of stars.

Earth's tilt causes different parts of the planet to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to the seasons.

A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it.

Continental drift is the theory that continents move slowly over the Earth's surface, changing their positions over geological time.
