Ethics is something people learn every time and it differs differently on each person based on how they where raised. The focus on "administering justice" has a guide on how to properly do so. Officers and other judicial officials do not go into the job doing what they think is correct, they do what the books, laws, and policies say.
I belive the answer to the first one is no I would have to assume a habitual zone is one area on a planet. for example, an air conditioned building vs. the Savvanah dessert. However I am not sure maybe other answers will help more on this one. Sorry.... Earth-like planet would of course need water, plant life, animals, oxygen, fossil fuels etc. A challenge we would face on a travel to another liveable planet: do we have engough transportation? engough fuel to make it? How long can we live on this planet? Who or what else is present here? etc. Yes I do think they should discover a planet with earth like qualities befor investing in tools to get us to them. So money is not wasted. (make sure to put this into your own words )
Tile 1 is “transverse wave”
And tile 2 is “longitudinal waves.”
The answer to this is probably their ability to absorb heat. Oceans are great at absorbing heat from the sun and storing it. If they were bad at it, the heat would be trapped due to the greenhouse effect and the climate would become scorching hot. This way, oceans absorb large amounts of heat and effectively reduce the overall temperature of the world.
