Answer:
Earth science is a term that describes everything related to Earth. Earth science has four sections of study: lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Every single of these sections has its area of study.
Explanation:
People who study and compare geology of other planets with the earth are called planetary geologists.
The lithosphere is a solid part of the earth located on the extern site.
The hydrosphere is the mass of water located on the planet.
The atmosphere is a mix of gases that are surrounding the planet.
The biosphere is living part of the planet.
Answer and Explanation:
Sediment transport occurs in natural systems where the particles are clastic rocks (sand, gravel, boulders, etc.), mud, or clay; the fluid is air, water, or ice; and the force of gravity acts to move the particles along the sloping surface on which they are resting.

Over half of India's population works in agriculture, and monsoon rains directly affect their incomes and livelihood. Agriculture adds up to more than 15% of India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which means that when crops fail because of too little rain, the economy suffers.
Answer:
Baptist and Methodist.
Explanation:
The First Great Awakening was a period of spiritual renewal that occurred during the mid-18th century. This period also saw a great deviation from the Catholic belief system and the emergence of more Protestant sect religious churches such as the Baptist and the Methodists.
This spiritual revival and awakening began as a result of the oppressive nature of the Catholic Church of England. Beginning in the American colonies, the religious prosecution led to the revival and emergence or founding of a different Christian belief path such as the <u>Baptists and the Methodist Churches.</u>
Answer: The earthworm contracts and extends in its movement, but the nematode moves side by side.
Explanation:
NOTE: By mode of location, we mean the way it moves.
The skin of a nematode is very unusual in that it secretes a thick outer cuticle which is both hard and flexible. And this cuticle makes it sustain a side by side mode of location. The closest thing a roundworm has to a skeleton is its cuticle and it uses it as a support and balance point for movement. Long muscles lie just underneath the epidermis and are all aligned longitudinally along the inside of the body, so the nematode can only bend its body from side to side, not contract or extend itself.
Whereas the earthworm extends and contracts as its mode of location.
An earthworm moves by using its two different sets of muscles: circular muscles for looping around each segment, and the longitudinal muscles for running along the length of the body.
The contraction of the circular muscles make the earthworm stretch becoming longer and thinner. The earthworm uses its longitudinal muscles to contract and thus becomes shorter and wider or it bends from one side to the other, pulling the body forward in the process. The earthworm withdraws the front setae and uses its rear setae to anchor itself at the back. Then the earthworm uses its circular muscles to lengthen and push itself forward again.
