joja [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Four times.

Explanation:

  • The transit method is a method that is used to detect the star or a planet system and has orbits aligned to each other and the planet travel between the planets and the star and it temporarily blocks some of the light each time in orbit.  
  • And this dimming of the light can help us identify the size of the planet as a star will create slight dimming light while a large planet will have a noticeable effect.  And this method can be used to calculate the planets density and composition and mass.
  • The primary transit is when the planet passes in front of the star and the secondary transits are when it completely disappears behind the planet while the brightness dimes more in at the third and second time the star passes by.

Which statement describes surface waves?
arlik [135]

Answer:

Your answer is they are produced by P and S waves.

Explanation:

These waves are known as primary and secondary waves. When these two waves have passed through the earthly body, the next wave that follows is the surface wave. They move slower than body waves and they are also more destructive because they are larger. Hope this helped :)

Discuss in your answer the use of solar energy, energy from water, nuclear energy, geothermal energy, and wind energy on Earth.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

No water source is available that can be used for the production of energy from water.

Explanation:

Solar energy, energy from water, nuclear energy, geothermal energy, and wind energy are used to produce electricity on Earth. All these sources are present in large amount on earth but on Mars all sources are available except water so that energy from water can't be produced. It has low temperature of the soil so no production of geothermal energy occurs. Water and oxygen for the survival of humans are important which are not available on Mars which are the potential problems that need to be solved.
