As a galaxy gets farther away from Earth, what happens?

After the Big Bang happened, the universe is constantly expanding. The Universe has expanded for around 13.7 billion years. The further a galaxy is, the faster it would move away from Earth. This principle is called the conservation of momentum.

As a galaxy gets farther away from Earth it gets faster.

Explanation:

First, moving away “from the Earth”. They certainly aren’t going away from the Earth. Everything is moving apart from everything else. No matter where you are in this expanding world, everything else will seem to be dropping from you. The space in within the galaxies is expanding! And the farther away a universe is the more space there is to increase so the faster the galaxy appears to move away from us.

Photosynthesis is one of the main processes that is basically responsible for the function of all living things. Without it carbon would not be cycled, oxygen would not be made and plants would not be able to creat food for themselves and would have to rely on another source.

Answer:

The correct option is D. analogous

Explanation:

We speak of an analogy when one structure is similar to another or has the same function, but whose embryonic development and its origin or ancestor is not common, they are different, in other words, they are analogous structures if they fulfill functions or acquire similar characteristics starting from the same medium, without requiring them to have the same evolutionary origin (they may or may not be similar structurally and embryologically).

An air mass forms over the North Pole region describe what you think the temperature and humidity of this air mass will be like?

Answer: hope this helps :)

The motion of air mass motion is usually based upon the air flow in the upper atmosphere. As the jet stream changes intensity and position, it affects the motion and strength of air masses. Where air masses converge, they form boundaries called "fronts".

3-D view of a cold front.

Fronts are identified by change of temperature based upon their motion. With a cold front, a colder air mass is replacing a warmer air mass. A warm front is the opposite affect in that warm air replaces cold air. There is also a stationary front, which, as the name implies, means the boundary between two air masses does not move.

The motion of air masses also affects where a good portion of precipitation occurs. The air of cold air masses is more dense than warmer air masses. Therefore, as these cold air masses move, the dense air undercuts the warmer air masses forcing the warm air up and over the colder air causing it to rise into the atmosphere.

So, fronts just don't appear at the surface of the earth, they have a vertical structure or slope to them as well. Warm fronts typically have a gentle slope so the air rising along
