Question Continuation
1. Mercury goes through a full cycle of phases
2. Moon rises in east, sets in west each day
3. Stars circle daily around north or south celestial pole
Answer:
The true statements are are (2) and (3)
2. Moon rises in east, sets in west each day.
From all part of the earth, we can see and observe the moon only that the stars move in parallel to the horizon in the north pole.
3. Stars circle daily around north or south celestial pole.
The relative position of starts are always altered because of the earth's rotation
While (1) does not really occur as seen from Earth
1. Mercury goes through a full cycle of phases
We can see the mercury from the Earth but in its whole form not in its phases.
Explanation:
Mauryan empire, in ancient India, a state centred at Pataliputra (later Patna) near the junction of the Son and Ganges (Ganga) rivers. It lasted from about 321 to 185 BCE and was the first empire to encompass most of the Indian subcontinent.
Gupta Empire of Chandragupta II
After gaining power, Chandragupta II expanded the Gupta Empire through conquest and political marriages until the end of his reign in 413 CE. By 395 CE, his control over India extended coast-to-coast. Just like Ashoka, Chandragupta II made Pataliputra the capital of his empire and centralized the government there. He used tribute money from allies to fund government projects and salaries. Unlike Ashoka, Chandragupta did not rely on a network of spies or closely monitor the affairs of foreigners or allies. Instead, he let regions make their own decisions about administration and local governance.
Some scholars have argued that the Gupta empire was a golden age of India. The empire was marked by peace and public safety, and scholars flourished in this environment. Kalidasa, a poet of the time, is considered the greatest poet and dramatist of the Sanskrit language. Aryabhata, who lived during Gupta empire, was the first of the Indian mathematician-astronomers who worked on the approximation for Pi. Vishnu Sharma is thought to be the author of the Panchatantra fables, one of the most widely-translated non-religious books in history.
The Gupta empire ended with the invasion of the White Huns, a nomadic tribe of people from central Asia, at the end of the fifth century CE. Until the sixteenth century, there was no unifying empire; regional political kingdoms ruled India.

Oceanic and continental plates are colliding.
Explanation:
On the image, we can see an oceanic plate on the left, and a continental plate on the right, moving toward each other and colliding. Because the two plates have different densities, thickness, and elevation, one of the subducts below the other, that being the oceanic plate. As the oceanic plate subducts below the continental plate, it gradually moves down in the mantle layer, getting melted, recycled, and maybe the same material be pushed toward the surface again.
On the plate boundary, convergent in this case, there is intense geological activity. Magma manages to rise through the cracks and gaps, and it forms volcanoes, creating a continental volcanic arc. Also, there are lot of earthquakes at such boundaries, as there is constant adjustment of the crust.
Such boundaries can be found between the:
- Pacific and North American plates
- Pacific and Eurasian plates
- Pacific and Australian plates
- Pacific and Philippine plates
- Nazca and South American plates
- Cocos and North American plate
