The thermal energy of the water. Because the water is waaay above Absolute Zero (0K, or -273,15 C) it holds thermal energy or aka the temperature of the water. If the temperature of the water is higher than the one in the thermometer, the heat will 'flow' into the liquid (mostly mercury or modern, it is ethanol), causing the liquid to rise since it's volume increases. The same when te water has lower temperature. The thermal energy of the thermometer will 'flow' in the water and the volume shrinks, causing the liquid to go down. Simple thermodynamics.
Vocabulary should be, I think:
I. Hypothesis
II. Evidence, data
III. Experiment
What is your question exactly?
Answer:
Correct answer is (c) a global "repaving" that erased essentially all the surface features that had existed earlier
Explanation:
Venus underwent cyclic process which erased the proved of other craters about billion years back. This is termed Venus global resurfacing event.
Player #2 has the most momentum. Think it as if you are rolling a baseball, bowling ball, and softball down a hill. it will take more effort to stop the bowling ball, because it has more momentum.
