The students observed the Sun throughout a school-day, over the school's play ground. The Sun appeared in different position each time all through the day. This was caused by:
the Earth's revolution around the Sun
the earth orbiting and revolving around other planets
the Sun's orbit of the Solar System
the Earth's rotation on its axis
Jose has learned that the Eart is constantly rotating on its axis. Which of the following provides him with evidence that the Earth is always rotating on its axis?
the moon phases
the sun's rotation in the solar system
the shadows changing their position and appearance throughout the day
the changes in seasons

and nonrenewable resources found within
their community. Which of the following is a
nonrenewable resource?
water
oxygen
coal
plants

then into the air are enlarged.
