An analogy makes a comparison between objects based on their similar qualities. Cassidy wanted to create an analogy for the moti
on of atoms in solids, liquids, and gases, so she compared them to marbles in a tray. Which best compares the phases of matter to marbles in a tray? A. A solid is like the tray being shaken and the marbles moving around it, and a liquid is like the tray being shaken slowly and all the marbles moving in their positions.
B. A solid is like the tray being shaken slowly and all the marbles moving in their positions, a liquid is like the tray being shaken and the marbles moving around it, and a gas is like the tray being shaken hard and the marbles moving vigorously around it.
C. A gas is like the tray being shaken slowly and all the marbles moving in their positions, and a solid is like the tray being shaken hard and the marbles moving vigorously around it.
D. A liquid is like the tray being shaken hard and the marbles moving vigorously around it, and a gas is like the tray being shaken slowly and all the marbles moving in their positions.
B atoms in a solid can move very little because of how compact they are in a liquid atoms move a little more freely in a gas atoms are bouncing fast as they are very spaced out
B. a solid is the most dense of all the phases of matter, so the atoms are the closest and move the slowest. a liquid is in the middle, and a gas has the most movement and space between the atoms.
The answer is A. Volcanoes and earthquakes often occur near place boundaries. Volcanoes are exit points for heat from the Earth's core. And Earthquakes are caused by the tectonic places colliding along another one. For example one tectonic plate would be slowly moving south, and another next to it could collide with the South-going plate while going North, and that is what causes Earthquakes.
