Joe, a hiker, stands at the top of a hill on a trail above the ocean. Joe's friend Dave is just starting out at the trailhead, w
Rashid [163]

Answer: 1, 2, 4 are accurate.

Explanation:

1. Joe is on a hill (on a trail) above the ocean. The beach and ocean are at similar altitudes. Therefore Joe is at a higher altitude than if he was at the beach.

2. Since Joe is on a hill, he has a higher altitude than at sea level. Air at a higher altitude has lower density because there is less air "ontop" of itself than at lower altitudes. As well, his hill is above the ocean, which means there is a lot of water, making the air more humid than where he is. Humidity also makes air denser.

4.The air pressure will decrease if Joe goes up to higher altitudes because there will be less air on top of itself.

Answer:

Water, up

Explanation:

In the process of movement water in the diffusion of water the net movement of water goes from higher concentration to the low concentration area. The movement of water  move form one side to other side until it reaches an equilibrium and the level of water on the other side goes up.

Hence, the water molecule will move from from side B to side A until it reaches equilibrium and the water level on side A goes up.

What are the three main classifications that describe galaxies? By what one visible
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Spiral Galaxies, Elliptical Galaxies  & Irregular Galaxies

Explanation:

How did galaxies originate? Astronomers believe that after the big bang, the explosion which began the universe 10 billion to 20 billion years ago, gravity began to compress masses of free-floating gas. Two main theories, bottom-up and top-down, explain what happened next. According to bottom-up theories, clusters began to form and assembled together into the larger units we know as galaxies. Top-down theories suggest that galaxies formed first, and the stars and other objects within them were subsequently produced. They categorized different galaxies to maintain their tests from the other galaxies.
