Liquid matter has atoms that move moderately freely; this is shown that whenever you pour water into a cup, it fills the shape.
Solids on the other hand, have atoms that basically don't move; thus is because the item is purely compact, and, for contrast, putting a rock in a cup wouldn't fill the shape of the cup, it would just lie there as it's original form.

Hope this helps!

Which describes the greenhouse effect? 1. Earth continues to get warmer over time because it is slowly moving closer to the sun.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The green house effect is best described by option 4 (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface).

Explanation:

The green house effect can be described as the energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface.

When energy from the sun passes through the atmosphere, some are absorbed which keeps the earth surface warm. While the rest is reflected back largely by cloud.

The energy which is emitted from the earth surface is called the infrared radiation. Some of the infrared radiation passess through the atmosphere but most is absorbed and re- emitted in all directions by the greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. This effect warms the earth surface and the lower atmosphere. Therefore this statement (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface) is correct about greenhouse effect.

For the greenhouse effect to occur, greenhouse gas molecules are mostly needed. Examples of these gases include:

--> Carbon dioxide (CO2),

--> Water vapor (H2O), and

--> Methane (CH4)

Over the years, the excessive human activities has lead to increase in the greenhouse gas molecules which has negatively affected the greenhouse effects.

Alex777 [14]

Currently, the magnetic south pole lies about ten degrees distant from the geographic north pole, and sits in the Arctic Ocean north of Alaska. The north end on a compass therefore currently points roughly towards Alaska and not exactly towards geographic north.

A paper is placed in between two books can be quickly pulled out without movinf the books. whuch statement explains this phenome
Montano1993 [528]
This is easily explained saying that the frictional force between the books and the paper isn't big enough to produce a displacement in the books. The displacement in the books doesn't happen because the frictional force between the books and the surface they are standing on is bigger than the paper's one.
