The answer that is correct is C because , All the light and heat energy we receive on Earth comes from the Sun, and travels through space in invisible electromagnetic waves known as radiation. Space is vast and empty, so heat energy cannot travel from the Sun by conduction or convection. Hot objects on Earth, such as fires and radiators, also radiate heat. Heat travels through solids by conduction. If one end of a metal bar is heated, heat energy moves rapidly along the bar. The hot particles do not move along the bar, but vibrate and pass energy to their neighbours. Materials that conduct electricity are also good conductors of heat. Metals conduct heat well, but wood, plastics, and glass conduct heat only poorly.

C. Conduction (through lighting) and Radiation (through power plants).

But I don't know for sure, always remember to double check your work.

A front is defined as a "boundary" that separates two masses of different air densities. I am not entirely sure, but I think the answers are either C or D, but I'm mostly convinced it's option D.

jeka57 [31]

So we want to know what happens to meteors that enter the Earth's atmosphere and experience air friction. So since most meteors that enter Earth's atmosphere are made out of ice and/or rocks, when they enter the atmosphere, they experience air friction and their temperature rises so high they either melt or burn up. So the correct answer is burns up.

The Tidal force can be defined as the difference in force between center of two bodies like center of earth and other bodies.This force stretches the body too and fro from the center of mass of another body due to the difference in the gravitational force.

The tidal force is responsible for various phenomena like ocean tides,celestial body tearing up.

The tidal force is the effect of massive body gravitationally affecting another body.

The tidal force is the difference between the gravitational force of two bodies and directly proportional to the mass of body affecting another body and inversely proportional to the square of radius of the distance between center and the object.
