Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The type of season and climate that earth experiences at different places are due to the earth's tilt and because of the earth's elliptical orbit. During its motion along the elliptical path, the earth moves from one place to another, as a result of which the distance from the sun increases and decreases at various location. This is one of the factors why one experiences a different type of seasons. The earth is tilted at an angle of 23.5°, and the northern hemisphere experiences summer when the earth's tilt is towards the sun, and the opposite side experiences winter.

When this tilt of the earth will change along with the change in its orbital path, then there will be simultaneous changes in the climate and seasons, which could lead to long term change in the earth's climate.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Answer:

A) its elliptical orbit and tilt on its axis  

Explanation:

Earth revolves around the sun in an elliptical path. Its axis is tilted to about 23.5° from the vertical.

These two factors determine the global climate on the Earth.

Due to elliptical orbit, the earth is sometimes closer to sun than the rest of the time. When it is closer the global temperature rises by 5 degrees. Due to the tilt of the Earth, seasons occur. The hemisphere which points towards the sun has summers where as which points away has winters.

Thus, the long-term climate change is effected by elliptical orbit and tilt of the axis.

Which statement describes Redi's experiment, which helped disprove spontaneous generation?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

He examined covered and uncovered meat to determine that maggots came from eggs.

Explanation:

Prior to Redi's experiment and other supporting experiments, it was formerly believed that life could emanate from non-living things, for example, the generation of maggots from rotting meat.

In 1668, a scientist called Francesco Redi disproved the idea of spontaneous generation. He did this when he experimented that the maggots from meats are only as a result of eggs laid by flies when they perched on the meat.

He placed the meat in two jars; an uncovered jar and another in a covered jar with a cloth, after several days, the uncovered jar had maggots on the meat, while the covered jar had no maggot on the meat, but on the cloth. With this experiment, he was able to demonstrate that the maggot arose from the eggs of the flies, not the meat itself which is nonliving and hence, disproved the idea of spontaneous generation.
