Answer:
The author's use of simile:
B. It helps the reader visualize the increased number of exoplanets discovered.
Explanation:
A simile is a figure of speech used with the intention of making a comparison - stating a similarity - between two different things. A simile needs help of words such as "as" or "like".
In the text, the discovery of planets and exoplanets was compared to billiard balls in a pool game. First, discovering planets was similar to a regular game, in which it is easy to see and count the balls. But, <u>as more and more exoplanets were discovered, scientists could no longer run tally.</u> That is why it was like a pool player making a big, smashing break: planets, like the billiard balls, were everywhere. The text moves on the describe it as an <u>"inordinate number"</u>. Therefore, <u>we can say safely say the simile is being used to help the reader visualize the increased number of exoplanets discovered.</u>
Answer:
If we are basing it off the picture provided.
Explanation:
We have learned that the Earth's lithosphere, the crust and upper part of the mantle is broke up into distinctive plates.
These plates are puzzle pieces that are in constant motion but move rather slow due to the forces within the mantle.
The term tectonic refers to the Earths crust and to the large scale processes that occur within it.
Because of these movements and plate tectonics, this is how land forms are created.
Since bees help pollinate plants, a lack of pollination could prevent certain species of vegetation from growing. Therefore, the plants could be driven into extinction. These plants act as a food source to many animals, so if the animals have nothing to eat, they'd die off as well. Consequently, our own food supply of crop and animal would decrease.
