Suppose the moon rotated on its axis just as quickly as Earth. Would you still always see the same side of the moon from Earth?

Currently it takes about 27.3 days for the Mon to rotate full circle around it's axis. It takes about 27 days for the Moon to make full circle around the Earth. This is why we always see the same side of Moon.

If the Moon was rotating around it's axis as quickly as Earth it would mean that it takes about 24h to rotate. Currently, no matter where we stand on the Earth we can see the same side of Moon. If the Moon had 24h rotation period we would see different parts of Moon from different parts of Earth. We would see the entire surface of Moon. But, as the Moon and the Earth would have same rotation period from some point on Earth we would constantly see the same side of Moon.

Example: From Europe we would see one side, from North America other side and from Asia yet another side. But from Europe we would constantly see the same side of Moon.

How does sulfur in the air get moved to the soil.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Sulfur can also fall directly from the atmosphere in a process called fallout. Also, the weathering of sulfur-containing rocks releases sulfur into the soil. These rocks originate from ocean sediments that are moved to land by the geologic uplifting of ocean sediments.

During what stage does the DNA copy itself
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: Tightly wound chromosomes, composed of DNA, must unwind before replication. Cell replication splits a cell into two parts, both of which become new, fully functioning cells. Before this can happen, however, cells require a full complement of DNA for each of the new daughter cells that will form as a result of the split. Because of this, DNA makes a copy of itself in a process known as replication during interphase, a stage that occurs before cells divide.

Cell Phases: Mitosis is the process by which parent cells each divide into two identical daughter cells. However, this majority of the cell's time is spent in interphase, during which it performs normal metabolic functions necessary for the organism, such as manufacturing protein. DNA occurs during the S phase of interphase, sandwiched between the G1 and G2 phases. The cell uses checkpoint signals to ensure at the end of G1 that it is big enough to replicate and at the end of G2 to determine whether or not DNA replication has succeeded. If so, the cell can undergo mitosis, at which point DNA winds up tightly for easy transport during the process.

DNA Replication: Replication begins with DNA unwinding and unzipping, its two strands coming apart. While only one side is the “correct” code, containing the actual genetic information used to build the organism’s proteins, both can be the base for a new strand of complete DNA. The enzyme DNA polymerase matches up each base with the correlating base: adenine with thymine and guanine with cytosine. When each pre-existing base has been matched to a nucleotide, which also contains the sugar and phosphate of the DNA’s backbone, the strand is complete.
