Which of the following best explains why seasonal variations in temperature are more extreme at location X than at location Y?

• The gravitational force is less at location X than at location Y.

• The rotation of Earth has less effect on location X than on location Y.

• The angle of incoming solar radiation varies more at location X than at location Y.

• The ocean moderates the average temperature more at location X than at location Y.

An astronaut drops a hammer on the Moon, and a scientist drops an identical hammer on Earth. Both hammers are dropped from the same height. The hammer dropped on Earth falls to the ground faster than the hammer dropped on the Moon. Why does the hammer on Earth fall faster than the hammer on the Moon?

• Earth has a stronger magnetic field than the Moon because Earth orbits the Sun.

• Earth has a stronger magnetic field than the Moon because Earth has an iron core.

• Gravitational attraction is stronger on Earth than on the Moon because Earth rotates on its axis.

• Gravitational attraction is stronger on Earth than on the Moon because Earth has a larger mass.
