hot spot islands formed and the amount of volcanoes increased
the size of jupiter is double the size of venus
matching coastlines, fossils and similarities in mountain chains
Which model, the heliocentric or geocentric, is the correct model for today?
geocentric model because the Sun is in the center
heliocentric model because the sun is in the center
heliocentric because the earth is in the center
geocentric because the earth is in the center
What causes seasons?
The Earth is tilted while it revolves around the sun
the distance between the earth and the sun
the angle of earth's tilt changes with seasons
Why do the planets stay in orbit?
the planets stay in orbit because of the pull of gravity
the planets stay in orbit because the sun have a magnetic attraction
Rotation occurs when a planet
goes around another object
has convection currents
loses gravity
turns around its own axis
An orbit by a planet around another celestial object is called
a gyre
a revolution
a rotation
an ellipse
The seasons are a direct result of Earth's
axis tilt
elliptical orbit
gravitational pull
inertial mass

The Sun has less gravitational pull on Earth because it is closer.
The Sun has less gravitational pull on Neptune because it is farther away.
