With a partner, describe interactions in this scene, tracing the movement of materials or energy through all four of Earth's spheres if possible. Plants (biosphere) draw water (hydrosphere) and nutrients from the soil (geosphere) and release water vapor into the atmosphere.
Large amounts of water do have a big impact on the weather: indeed, it takes less energy to warm/cool land than water.
Therefore, places near large amounts of water tend to have smaller differences in temperature between summer and winter than places far from waters.
Hence, during winter in Puerto Rico, alongside the coast, the temperature will be higher than in the innermost parts of the island.
C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases
Explanation:
The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:
- A uniform motion (with constant velocity) along the horizontal direction
- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (equal to the acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction
Here we want to study the downward component of the projectile's velocity. Since the vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, the vertical velocity is given by:

where
u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero since the projectile is fired horizontally)
downward is the acceleration of gravity
t is the time
So the equation becomes

This means that
C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases
Because every second, it increases by
in the downward direction.
