Answer: capture theory

Explanation:

An asteroid is a rocky object which orbits sun having irregular shape and size.Asteroids are usually found in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter in the asteroid belt.  

Capture theory of moon suggests that moon was formed somewhere else in the solar system and was captured by Earth's gravity.

<u>If the moon resembled an asteroid, it would have supported the capture theory i.e. an asteroid was captured by the gravitational pull and started orbiting around the Earth.</u>

A. Fill in the blanks in the following paragraph to correctly identify some
amid [387]

Answer:

1.) Liquid

2.) Low

3.) Molecular

4.) Surface tension

5.) Solvent

Explanation:

Water is important to living things because it remains in the LIQUID state over a wide range of temperatures. Water in lakes and oceans does

not experience large temperature changes because liquid water has a

LOW specific heat, so it must absorb or release a lot of energy as its temperature changes. The MOLECULAR forces between water

molecules cause water to form round droplets and cause water's high SURFACE TENSION. Water is also an important SOLVENT because it can

dissolve many different substances.
