The answer is D. Most of the rotational and orbital motions in the solar system are in the same "eastward" direction. Motions in this direction are referred to as direct motions while motions in the opposite direction are referred to as retrograde. Retrograde motion is the apparent backward motion of a planet caused by its being lapped by another planet or vice versa. Both planet move in a direct eastward motion around the sun, but the planet with the inside (smaller) orbit moves faster than the planet on the outside (larger orbit), and when it passes the slower moving planet, each sees the other one as apparently moving backward relative to its motion around the sky.

Answer: ok  well first when Horizontal faults, like vertical faults, disturb the formation of the earth's layers and cause irregularities, including tilting. Surface fault ruptures can also cause tectonic subsidence, which is broad tilting of the valley floor.  that is What causes the disturbance of rock layers to collapse what  and then Due to an unconformity, the ______ period is missing from the rock layer record. The principle of lateral continuity proposes that sedimentary rock layers it provided a tool for sorting out the relative timing of various geologic events  must have been moved into that position by crustal disturbances after their deposition.

If the mass of Earth increased, with no change in radius, your weight<br> would
amm1812

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

If the mass of the earth increase, with no change in radius, one's weight would also increase considerably.

The reason for this is that, the gravitational force of attraction between the two bodies will increase.

  • The gravitational force of attraction between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
  • So, increasing the mass of the earth will increase the gravitational force on one's body and hence, an increase in weight.
