Earthshine is even more faint because the moon's "albedo" (a specific kind of reflectivity) is less than Earth's. Even though this dim light is only a reflection it can still illuminate some features of the moon. Earthshine can be best seen during the crescent phases (the 1-5 day period before or after a New Moon).
<u>Basalt</u>
<em> </em><em>Formation</em> -basalt is (mineral) a hard igneous rock of varied mineral content formed when lava reaches the Earth's surface near an active volcano
<em> </em><em>Texture</em>- is fine grained so the individual minerals are not visible
<em> </em><em>Colour</em>- basalt being dark
<u>Rhyolite</u>
<em> Formation</em> -Rhyolite is a very fine-grained to glassy extrusive igneous rock. Formed in continental plates have volcanic eruptions.
<em> Texture</em>- very small than grains and are difficult to observe without using a hand lens.
<em> </em><em>Colour</em>- light in colour whether pink or grey
<u>Andesite</u>
<em> </em><u><em> </em></u><em>Formation</em>- Andesite is a fine-grained igneous rock that forms when the magma is rises up onto the surface and crystallized quickly
<em> </em><em>Texture</em>- higher than basalt and lower than rhyolite
<em> </em><em>Colour</em><em> -</em>- color is pale due to silica content
The poles receive more direct sunshine so it has to do with the angle that the light hits. The Earth is round and when light hits it the light wraps around the earth. At the poles the light is very stretched and at the equator it is very direct hence it is hotter at the poles.
Answer:
The scientists used this information to divide the planet into 24 sections or time zones. Each time zone is 15 degrees of longitude wide. ... As you move west from Greenwich, every 15-degree section or time zone is an hour earlier than GMT, while each time zone to the east is an hour later.
