Answer: 3.6 seconds
Explanation: Geologic time is a way of measuring time based on events in the history of the Earth. If we compress this into one year, a single geologic year equals 4.6 billion years because the planet was formed 4.6 billion years ago.
Columbus arrived in the New World in August 1492, 528 years ago.
If 4.6 billion years = 1 year in geologic time,
528 years = 528 X
=3.6 seconds
<em>(I broke the year down into seconds by breaking it down into days, then hours, minutes and seconds because the value is very small)</em>

<em>So, if we compress geologic time into a single year, only 3.6 seconds have elapsed since Columbus arrived in the New World</em>

Answer: the orbit of Mars is significantly more elliptical being more further away from the sun than the Earth.
Explanation: An elliptical orbit is said to be formed when object revolves around another in an oval-shaped path known as an ellipse. The planets in our solar system orbit around the sun in elliptical orbits.
The different planets have their different distances from the sun which affects, their climate and determines if life can exist in them.
Many man made satellites orbit the Earth in elliptical orbits, so also does the moon. Generally, most objects and satellites in outer space travel in an elliptical orbit.
The Sun warms equatorial regions of Earth Low than the poles. This causes an area of toward pressure to develop near the equator. As a result, the northeast and southeast trade winds are created as air at the surface then flows less the equator.
<h3>Why does
air tend to rise in equatorial regions?</h3>
The reason of the air tends to rise in equatorial regions because in the equatorial regions there is more sunlight as compared to other areas. There is difference in the heat in different areas due to that warmer air rises.
Thus, option B is correct.

Answer :A
“As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier (more dense) cool air pushes under the lighter (less dense) warm air, causing it to rise up into the troposphere. ... As the cold front passes, winds become gusty. There is a sudden drop in temperature, and also heavy rain, sometimes with hail, thunder, and lightning.”
