<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>Part 1.</h3>

<em><u>The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational pull.</u></em> True.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Gravitational force is the attractive force applied on an object by the earth, which is equal to the mass of the object.

Gravitational forces is directly proportional to mass of object.

Hence greater the mass, greater the gravitational force.

<u><em>Gravitational pull decreases with an increase in the distance between two objects.</em></u> True.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Gravitational force depends upon the two factors:

Distance, between the object and earth.

Mass of the object.

Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the sequre of distance.

Hence increase in distance will lower the gravitational pull.

<em><u>If there were no gravity, planets would collide with another one. </u></em>True

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

As the gravitational pull on planets is the attractive force on planets by sun.

Due to which each planet is moving in distinct separated path.

As if there is no gravitational pull the planet will be no more in any path.

They will move randomly, colliding each other.

<em><u>An objects mass is less on the moon than it is on earth. </u></em>True

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

As the gravitational mass depends upon the mass and moon has less mass than earth.

Its gravitational force will also weak, it will attract object with less attraction, making mass of object less.

Because gravitational force is the attractive force applied on an object by the earth, which is equal to the mass of the object.

That's why an object on moon will has less mass than earth.

<em><u>The momentum of moving planets does not depends on their masses. </u></em>False

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The momentum in moving planets is known as angular momentum.

Angular momentum = mass × velocity × distance

So according to above formula momentum is directly proportional to mass.

Hence statement if false statement.

<em><u>The sun revolves in an orbit within our galaxy</u></em>. True

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Yes, sun revolves around the center of milky way galaxy.

The shape of milky way galaxy is spiral shape and we are moving aroun this galaxy's center at the speed of 828,000 km/hr.

It takes 230 million years to make one complete orbit around the Milky Way at high rates.

3. Label the three planes in the following image next to the three corresponding letters below the image.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

The correct labels of the three planes are -

a. axial or transverse plane.

b. sagittal plane

c.. coronal plane

Explanation:

The human body can be divided into three planes on the basis of anatomy - the sagittal plane, the coronal plane, and the transverse plane

A sagittal plane is a longitudinal plane that divides the human body in the left and right parts.

A coronal plane is an anatomical plane that divides the body vertically into the back and front, ventral or dorsal (to be more specific).

An Axial or transverse plane, it is the plane that divides in the upper part of the body and lower part of the body.

Thus, the correct answer is -

a. axial or transverse plane.

b. sagittal plane

c. coronal plane

Sea organisms rely on the deep oceanic currents for food and nourishment.

Paha777 [63]

Answer: Currents are powerful physical forces in the seas. They move water and heat around the globe, and help determine the chemical make-up of the water column. Currents also are a major factor in ocean ecosystems. Two types of current motion, upwelling and downwelling, strongly influence the distribution and abundance of marine life.

Upwelling

Currents play a huge role in marine productivity, through a process called upwelling. Sea life is concentrated in the sunlit waters near the surface, but most organic matter is far below, in deep waters and on the sea floor. When currents upwell, or flow up to the surface from beneath, they sweep vital nutrients back to where they're needed most.

Nowhere is the link between ocean circulation and productivity more evident than around Antarctica. There, strong currents pump nitrogen and phosphate up from the deep sea to fuel vast blooms of algae and other plants. These plankton are eaten by swarms of shrimp-like crustaceans called krill. Because of upwelling nutrients, krill are abundant enough to feed the largest animals on earth, baleen whales, as well as myriad penguins, seals, and seabirds. In fact, despite the harsh conditions, the biomass of Antarctic krill is thought to be greater than that of any other animal on Earth.

Downwelling

The importance of upwelling to surface organisms is matched by the need of sea bottom life for downwelling, or the sinking of surface water. Surface water can be forced downward by the pressure of the “pile” of water that forms where currents converge or wind drives the sea against a coastline. But for bottom dwellers, the sinking of water caused by density changes is especially noteworthy. The global conveyer belt takes oxygen-rich surface water and flushes it through the deep sea. Without this renewal, the dissolved oxygen in bottom sediments and waters would quickly be used up by the decay of organic matter. Anaerobic bacteria would take over decomposition, leading to a build up of hydrogen sulfide. Few benthic animals would survive such toxic conditions.

In the most extreme cases, a lack of downwelling may lead to mass extinctions. Paleontologists have suggested that 250 million years ago, deep circulation slowed nearly to a stop, and the ocean began to stagnate. Low oxygen, sulfide and methane-rich waters filled the ocean deeps and then spread onto the continental shelves, wiping out 95% of all marine species in the greatest extinction event in Earth history.
