Answer:

the moon lies behind Earth , as the Sun, Earth and Moon are closely aligned, the Earth casts a complete shadow to the Moon.

Explanation:

A lunar eclipse takces place once the Moon passes directly behind Earth and into its shadow. This can occur given that Sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly or pretty close aligned , as Earth lieas between the other two. When this happens, a total lunar eclipse forms, Earth completely is blocking sunlight from reaching the Moon.

Therefore, during a lunar eclipses, different tides occur. During the moon's quarter phases the sun and moon work at right angles, causing the changes seen in tides. This resulting in a smaller difference between higher and lower tides and is known as a neap tide. See image below:

Answer:

D. Mass extinction events separate the three eras from each other

Explanation:

The Phanerozoic is an eon, thus it is representative of the largest unit of geological time. It is further divided into three eras. The three eras of the Phanerozoic are the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic. These three eras have been divided on the basis of mass extinction events. The Paleozoic ends with the mass extinction at the end of the Permian period, which is also the largest mass extinction ever, and it also marks the beginning of the Mesozoic. The Mesozoic ends with the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period, occurring because of a large meteorite or comet impact, marking the beginning of the Cenozoic era. The Cenozoic era is still going, and even though there have been extinction throughout it, none of them has been of a scale big enough to be considered as a mass extinction, so until something like that happens, this era will continue to exist.

How do the immune system and digestive system work together?

abruzzese [7]

The immune system works with the digestive tract to help protect you from infection by these potential invaders. Your immune system also depends upon cells to kill invading organisms, and chemicals that don't require the involvement of cells at all, but which are simply toxic to bacteria and viruses. Acid in the stomach does the same thing.
