Which statement explains how energy is transferred in this system?

• Energy transferred in a longitudinal wave by causing the particles to move in an up and down pattern.

• Energy transferred in a transverse wave by causing the particles to move in an up and down pattern.

• Energy transferred in a longitudinal wave by causing the particles to move in a forward and backward pattern.

• Energy transferred in a transverse wave by causing the particles to move in a forward and backward pattern.

A student makes a model of the seasons as they change throughout the year. In this position, what statement is true about the model? The model is showing--

• December solstice which means the Northern Hemisphere would receive fewer daylight hours.

• June solstice which means the Northern Hemisphere would receive fewer daylight hours.

• September equinox which means the Southern Hemisphere would receive more daylight hours.

• March equinox which means both Hemispheres would receive an equal amount of night time and daylight hours.
