Which occur most lunar or solar eclipse

1 answer:

7 0

Solar eclipses occur more often than lunar eclipses because in a lunar eclipse, the moon has to be perfectly aligned with both the earth and the sun.

Solar eclipses occur about 2 to 4 times per year, but the area on the ground covered by totality is only about 50 miles wide. In any given location on Earth, a total eclipse happens only once every hundred years or so, though for selected locations they can occur as little as a few years apart.

Eclipses of the Moon by the Earth's shadow occur less often than solar eclipses, however, each lunar eclipse is visible from over half the Earth. At any given location, you can have up to three lunar eclipses per year, but some years there may be none.

In any one calendar year, the maximum number of eclipses is four solar and three lunar.

Answer:

The correct answer would be - Cells begin dividing faster, leading to cancer.

Explanation:

In the process of the cell cycle, there are several checkpoints that ensures that the cell is all set to move to next phase, the cell that not match the requirements cell have not move to next phase.

These checkpoints control the rate of cell proliferation or division and if a dividing cell fails to pass through any checkpoints due to the mutation, it is most likely divide uncontrollably and lead to cancerous or tumor cell.

Explain the following statement: "Selection occurs within

True [87]

Answer: Selection occurs within generations; evolution occurs between generations. All four of Darwin's postulates are true for the medium ground finch population on Daphne Major. Darwin's theory therefore predicts a change in the composition of the population from one generation to the next. In biology, evolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population from generation to generation. ... Natural selection is a process that causes heritable traits that are helpful for survival and reproduction to become more common, and harmful traits to become more rare.

1. air is warmed near earth's surface
2. water vapor rises and comes in contact with cooler air
3 water vapor condenses onto partials etc.
4 water enters the atmosphere through evaporation
5 clouds are born

warm air can “hold” more water vapor than cool air because as the air warms its molecules move farther apart, making room for more molecules. This leads to the idea that as air cools its molecules move closer together, “squeezing” out water vapor.
