sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Sunni and Shia Islam are the two major denominations of Islam. The demographic breakdown between the two denominations is difficult to assess and varies by source, but a good approximation is that 85–90% of the world's Muslims are Sunni[1] and 10-15% are Shia,[2][3] with most Shias belonging to the Twelver tradition and the rest divided between many other groups.[2] Sunnis are a majority in most Muslim communities: in Southeast Asia, China, South Asia, Africa, and most of the Arab world.

How is the geosphere of mars similar to earths?

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Mars is similar to Earth in many ways, having many of the same "systems" that characterize our home world. Like Earth, Mars has an atmosphere, a hydrosphere, a cryosphere and a lithosphere. In other words, Mars has systems of air, water, ice, and geology that all interact to produce the Martian environment.

According to the Australian government, the state that has the longest border equals what percent of the country's total border

Anna71 [15]

Australia is an island country, and besides the big main island and Tasmania, it has 12,000 islands plus in its territory. Since it doesn't have any land borders, its borderline is actually the sum of all coastlines of all islands in its territory, and that accounts for 70,000 km.

New South Wales is the biggest state in the country, and it occupies 10% of its total land mass. Its border is 4,635 km, which means that it accounts for 6.62% of the total borderline of Australia.

Each of the following statements applies either to the formation of terrestrial planets or of jovian planets (but not both), bas

ryzh [129]

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Each of the following statements applies either to the formation of terrestrial planets or of jovian planets (but not both), based on our current theory of solar system formation. Drag the statements into the appropriate bin:

-accreted from planetesimals of rock and metal .

-surfaces dramatically altered during the heavy bombardment

-large moons formed in surrounding disks of material

-ejected icy planetesimals that are now Oort cloud comets

-formed in a region of the solar system with lower orbital speeds

-accreted from icy planetesimals

-formed in regions cold enough for water to freeze

Answer:

The correct answers are:

Terrestrial planets: -accreted from planetesimals of rock and metal , -surfaces dramatically altered during the heavy bombardment

Jovian Planets: -large moons formed in surrounding disks of material , -ejected icy planetesimals that are now Oort cloud comets , -formed in a region of the solar system with lower orbital speeds , -accreted from

icy planetesimals , -formed in regions cold enough for water to freeze.

Explanation:

The terrestrial planets, are those planets that have similar characteristics to the planet Earth.

They have a core of extremely hot and liquid material and a hard surface composed of rocks and metal.

They also have <u>surfaces dramatically altered during the heavy bombardment</u>, which causes craters to appear on the surfaces of these planets.

The planets that are known as terrestrial within our Solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

Jovian Planets are those that differ completely from terrestrial planets. The water, ammonia and methane that they possess have frozen due to the distance between them and the Sun.

The planets with these characteristics are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

They are giant planets that are characterized by having a lot of gas, with Jupiter being the largest of them.

Unlike terrestrial planets, they do not have a surface.
