<span>Water is never added to earth system. Water forever remains in the water cycle on earth, so it goes from the ground, to the air, to the rain, to the sea, and round and round continuously. This cycle means that there does not need to be new water added to the earth, because it recycles any water that already exists of its own accord.</span>
Your answer is A, Ocean Waves- because A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. Ocean waves do just that :)
Hope this helps!!
<span>Germanium
To determine which melts first, convert their melting temperatures so they're both expressed on same scale. It doesn't matter what scale you use, Kelvin, Celsius, of Fahrenheit. Just as long as it's the same scale for everything. Since we already have one substance expressed in Kelvin and since it's easy to convert from Celsius to Kelvin, I'll use Kelvin. So convert the melting point from Celsius to Kelvin for Gold by adding 273.15
1064 + 273.15 = 1337.15 K
So Germanium melts at 1210K and Gold melts at 1337.15K. Germanium has the lower melting point, so it melts first.</span>
I., II., and IV. are examples of acceleration. III. isn't.
