Answer:

The Moon doesn't make its own light, it just reflects the Sun's light as all the planets do. We see the Moon go through a changing cycle of phases each month due to its orbital motion around Earth and the changing geometry with which we view it.

Answer:

Explanation:

The moon orbits around the Earth in an elliptical path. As it moves along its orbit, it reflects light from sun back to Earth. Sometime the Earth's position in orbit blocks some of the sun light to the moon, its reflection will show Earth's shadow. The different size and position of Earth's shadow account for the moon's phases: no shadow at full moon and half shadow at crescent moon.

A section of a topographic map is shown below. What is the difference in elevation in meters between Point X and Point Y on the
musickatia [10]

The difference in elevation in meters between the points X and Y is 360.

Explanation:

On the presented map we can see that the relief is depicted with contour lines. The contour lines are marked with their elevations, or rather the main contour lines are, every fifth one. We also have the contour interval, which is 20 meters, thus giving us the basis so that we can find the difference in elevation between any points on the map.

What we know for sure from the map is:

  • the elevation is increasing from southeast toward northwest
  • the difference in elevation between the contour lines is 20 m
  • the difference in elevation between the main contour lines is 100 m

Point X is marked on the contour line of 1,600 m. Point Y is marked on the second contour line between the 1,200 m and 1,300 m contour lines, thus:

2 x 20 = 40

So we have 1,240 m. Having the elevations of the two points, we only need to take the lower value from the larger value:

1,600 - 1,240 = 360 m

So we get a result of 360 m of difference in elevation between the points X and Y.

pochemuha

Answer:

Yes, it does.

Explanation:

All of the continents that are seperate today were in the form of a single giant continent up until approximately 175 million years ago.

They drifted apart in time because of the molten lava that is constantly flowing right underneath the earth's hardened shell. Also, archeological discoveries that indicate the same species of animals/plants lived on different continents such as Europe and America long before humans or intercontinental travel were around.

I hope this answer helps.
