The correct answer is:

An understanding of the number and size of leftover planetesimals in the early solar system.

The giant-impact hypothesis proposes that the Moon was created out of what was left of a collision between Earth and an astronomical body the size of Mars, around 4.5 billion years ago, in the Hadean eon. The heavy bombardment was a period when leftover planetesimals hit planets during the solar system's first hundred million years.

What benefits do Mexico, Canada, and the United States gain by maintaining a trade agreement among the three nations
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Quadrupled Trade

Lowered Prices

Increased Economic Growth

Created Jobs

Increased Foreign Direct Investment

Reduced Government Spending

Explanation:

Between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, NAFTA covered the largest area under a free trade agreement. One of the positive effects of NAFTA was increased trade, economic output, foreign investment, and better consumer prices. NAFTA went into effect under the Clinton administration in 1994. The purpose of the deal was to boost trade within North America between Canada, the United States, and Mexico. It also aimed to get rid of trade barriers between the three parties, as well as most taxes and tariffs on goods imported and exported by each.Canada has seen the strongest gains among the three NAFTA countries, though, again, it is difficult to attribute direct causation, particularly given that Canada and the United States had a free-trade deal that predated NAFTA.
