The four planets closest to the Sun have similar compositions (rock/metal), and all have solid surfaces. They are therefore grou

ped together as terrestrial ("Earth-like") planets. Even though they formed from the same process of accretion in the Solar Nebula, you'll see here that their surfaces are significantly different from one another.
Why are these planets so different? To answer this, we must start with an understanding of the processes that cause planetary surfaces to change: volcanism, tectonics, erosion, and impacts.

What process is a good example of a positive feedback that then reaches an equilibrium in an Earth system?
ipn [44]

Answer:

The relationship between the warming of the earth’s northern latitude and ice is a practical example of a positive feedback on the earth system.

Explanation:

A positive feedback is a process that brings about an increase in the process of interaction in the earth activities The warming of the northern latitude which is responsible for generating more heat through sunlight with time, usually results in an increase in the melting of ice bodies in the ocean by movement. This activity is regarded as positive because it is associated with an increase in the process. This process is directly proportional to the exchange activities that takes place and often leads to an equilibrium in the earth system.

In complete sentences, discuss the three major religions in Western Europe. Which is the most dominant religion, and how has it
weeeeeb [17]

The tree largest religions in Western Europe are the Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.

Depending on the county in Western Europe, there are differences in the type of Christianity type practiced, with the Catholicism and Protestantism being the most dominant ones. The Islam is the second largest religion, relatively new in this part of the continent and also a relatively quick growing one. The Judaism is the third largest religion in this part of Europe, but it has much less followers than the top two. The atheism is worth mentioning, despite not being a religion but the opposite of it, as the non-religious population in Western Europe is actually the second largest one, in front of the Islam and Judaism.

The culture of this region has largely been shaped and set on the foundations of the Christianity, mostly the Catholicism, with later diverging fraction of it. The Church has played a big role in the societies, politics, economy of this region for almost two millenniums, so it is carved in the cultural aspects of the nations living there.
