Answer:
<u>Geocentric Model</u>: - this model is Earth Centered
-Retrograde motion is explained by epicycles
<u>Heliocentric Model</u>: - This model is Sun Centered
-Retrograde motion is explained by the orbital speeds of planets
<u>Both models</u>:- Epicycles and deferents help explain planetary motion
-Planets move in circular orbits and with uniform motion
-The brightness of a planet increases when the planet is closest to Earth
Explanation:
Retrograde motion is an apparent change in the movement of the planet through the sky. Ptolemy's model of the solar systems was geocentric, where the Sun, Moon, planets and start all orbit the Earth in perfectly circular orbits. However this perfectly circular orbits around the Earth did not explain the occasional retrograde motion of the planets. In the Copernicus' heliocentric model, retrograde motion of planets is naturally explained. The explanation for retrograde motion in a heliocentric model is that retrograde occurs roughly when a faster moving planet catches up to and passes a slower moving planet.
The main reason why the tectonic plates move is the conversational currents. There is magma between the upper mantle and the asthenosphere that heats up at the upper mantle. The weight is so small that the magma rises with the help of these conversational currents. When the magma has ascended towards the asthenosphere, it has nowhere to go so the magma lies along the asthenosphere. There the magma cools down again because the asthenosphere is colder than the upper mantle, which makes the magma heavier and goes back down to the upper mantle, where the magma heats up again and everything starts all over again and so it goes on over and over again. Scientists have concluded that the earth's gravity causes two other processes that also cause the tectonic plates to move.
Ridge push - in the spreading zones, the sides of the tiles are raised and slide to the side as in a slide.
Slab pull - when a plate is pulled down by gravity in a subduction zone like an anchor.
Answer:
Knowing that the temperature at sea level (0 m) is 20 ° C, we will calculate the air temperature at. The altitude of 3500m.
According to the vertical thermal gradient, the air temperature decreases by 6 ° C at 1000m alt.
1000 m .... 14 ° C (20-6 = 14)
2000 m .... 8 ° C (14-6 = 8)
3000 m ... 2 ° C (8-6 = 2)
3500 m .... - 1 ° C (2-3 = -1
