The depth of the trench is estimated at 5000 meters. e. The trench is called the Mariana Trench. 9. The nebular hypothesis suggest that: a. all bodies in the solar system formed from an enormous gas cloud.
2. Temperatures in the corona can reach over 1 000 000 ̊C. 3. It is the thickest layer, stretching several million kilometres into space. Phenomena on the Sun’s surface | 1.

This type of volcano can be recognized by its broad, gentle slopping shape. The lava dome that composes a shield volcano is usually built over a period of time. When this type of volcano erupts it often involves a flow after flow of lava. An example of shield volcano is Mauna Kea, which along with Mauna Loa forms the large island of Hawaii. The largest shield volcano in the solar system is Olympus Mons, on the planet mars.
Seventy five percent of the table is made up of metals, and a couple of the columns on the right of the table have gases. There are only two elements that are liquids- mercury and bromine. Column 1 contains the alkali metals, which suddenly combust when exposed to air or water. Columns 3-12 are the transition metals, which contain heavier atoms, which are more flexible in how they organize their electrons. Column 17 is made up of the more reactive gases- the halogens.
Hydrologic Cycle The elements that combine to make water Hydrogen and oxygen are found in dust, grasses, and other stuff that formed Earth. The molten rock, called magma, which made up early Earth, contains water. Some water escaped from the magma and reaches the Atmosphere. As Earth cooled off, the water was able to settle on the surface and billions of liters later the oceans were formed. (5 points) |Score | | | 2.
If Jupiter were a shell, all the other planets and their moons could fit inside with room to spare. Jupiter could hold 317 of our earth's. Jupiter's diameter is 88,000 miles, thirty times the width of the United States. It orbits the sun at 8.1 miles per second (mps), or 19,160 miles per hour (mph). It is 485 million miles from the sun making it a very cold planet in the range of minus 240 degrees F. However, due to the enormous pressure of its mass, the center is estimated to be 54,000 degrees F., or five times hotter than the surface of the sun.
Which of the following planets is NOT a gas giant? a. Earth b. Jupiter c. Saturn d. Uranus 16. The sun gets its energy from a. burning fuel b. nuclear fusion c. shrinking due to gravity d. convection 17. The number of on any planet can be used to estimate how old the surface is.
Said O'Keefe: If tektites are terrestrial, it means that some process exists by which soil or common rocks can be converted in an instant into homogeneous, water-free, bubble-free glass and be propelled thousands of miles above the atmosphere. If tektites come from the Moon, it seems to follow that there is at least one
