It is a terrestrial planet.

It was formed from gas and dust.

It was formed in a debris disk from colliding planetesimals.

Explanation:

The earth is one of the four terrestrial planets that orbits the sun and forms a significant part of the solar system.

The solar system is made up of the planets moving round the sun which is the star. The satellites moves round the planets. Also, there are other interplanetary bodies that moves in the solar system.

  • According to the solar nebular theory, the earth was formed from a gas of intersellar dust which was rotating.
  • Intense pressure and temperature led to the collapse of the core under gravitational pull. The core formed the sun.
  • The debris disk accreted to form several planetesimmals from which the earth was derived.
  • Most of the solid and denser materials were pulled in closely to sun and they are rock balls called terrestrial planets.
  • The outer parts are gas giants.

Which of the following best describes the term cleavage? a. Cleavage describes the quality and amount of light reflected from a
Debora [2.8K]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Cleavage is the splitting of minerals along natural planes of weakness </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are different physical features of a mineral that are used in the identification of species of fossils. The characteristics may include hardness, Fracture, tenacity, and, cleavage. The cleavage, therefore, occurs as a result of the strengthening of the weaker bonds and the greater lattice spacing that exist in the plane. The lattice accompanies the more fragile relationship along with the place because the link cannot maintain interatomic spacing.

The property of cleavage and positioning of fracture derived from structural species of the crystals.

How does the lithosphere behave as a system
vesna_86 [32]
"The lithosphere is subdivided into tectonic plates. The upper part of the lithosphere which chemically reacts to the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere through the soil forming process is called the pedosphere. The lithosphere is underlain by the athenosphere which is the weaker, hotter, deeper part of the upper mantle."

What is true of two solar eclipses separated by one saros cycle?
drek231 [11]
Answer: two solar eclipses separated by one Saros cycle will have the same geometric characteristics (they will both be total, or partial or annular).

A Saros is a period of time of about 18 years 11 days and 8 hours and represents the time needed for the system composed by Moon, Earth, and Sun to return to its initial position. 

Indeed, this is due to a natural harmony of the Moon’s motion: it takes 29.53 days to complete one orbit around Earth (Synodic Month), it takes 27.21 days to pass from the same node of its orbit (Draconic Month) and it takes 27.55 days to go from perigee to perigee (Anomalistic Month); the composition of these three motions gives one Saros of around 6585.3 days, composed by 223 Synodic Months, 239 Anomalistic Months and 242 Draconic Months (with a precision of few hours).

It has been observed that after one Saros cycle Moon, Earth and Sun are in the same initial position, therefore an eclipse occurring on day 1 of two consecutive Soros cycles would have the same geometric characteristics, which means that one Saros can be considered the periodicity of solar and lunar eclipses.

Due to the fact that a Saros is not composed by a whole number of days (we have a remainder of 8 hours), the two eclipses won’t be visible from the same location on Earth due to the rotation around its axis. It takes about 3 Soros for this to happen.
