The moon phases occur because...
The moon grows and gets smaller.
The moon revolves around the earth.
The sun, earth, and the moon create shadows.

What are jet streams?
The trail left from an airplane.
Bands of strong wind.
The winds that push jets through the air.
Wind made from tornadoes.
How do Jet Stream affect weather?
It evaporates water, which dries out rain
It makes storms wetter and more severe

What would happen if Earth's rotaton would slow down?
Earth's day would be longer
Earth's year would be shorter
Earth's day would be shorter
Earth’s year would be longer
Why is the moons influence over tides stronger than the sunsinfluence?
The Moon's gravitational force deflects the Sun's gravitational force.
The Sun's gravitational force is less because of the planets that are between the Sun and Earth
The Moon is much closer to Earth than the Sun, so its gravitational force on Earth is greater
The Sun's gravitational force changes more than the Moon's force as Earth orbits the Sun and the Moon orbits Earth.
