1. The moons shadow can cue Earth's spherical shape, hence the lunar eclipse.
2. The way we see boats 'rise' from the ocean when looking from a shore. If the Earth was flat, we would see it as just appearing,
3. The field of view considering star constellations would differ on a flat planet.
4. Shadows wouldn't move, but appear in the same location on a flat planet.
5. Seeing farther from higher can explain a phenomenon of curvature. <span />
That is because metamorphic rock is formed by parent rocks that are either sedimentary rock or igneous rocks and we can use the former rock type to distinguish the type of metamorphic rock, marble was igneous rock exposed to high pressure or temperature.
While the other two type of rocks are formed initially by sedimentation and volcanic movements and has no parent rocks.
Plate tectonics are important to geoloigists because they explain how the continents make up the earths crust.
The answer would be A. distribution of mineral deposits.
This is because the amount of minerals found in a particular region can affect the economy because of the possible exporting of that material.
