<u>Answer:</u>   False

<em>Some people believe that the Moon’s phases are caused by Earth’s shadows on the Moon is false.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Some people believe that the Moon’s phases are caused by Earth’s shadows on the Moon is their misconception. </em>

The phases depend on its place relative with sun and earth.The phases of moon are new moon,waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbon, full moon, wanning gibbon,last quarter, wanning crescent,new moon.

<em>For example, </em>

When<em> moon, earth, and sun</em> are exactly in the same line and moon lies in between earth and sun, the sun illuminates the back part of the moon which is not visible from earth. <em>This forms new moon</em>.

<em>So only relative positions matter in the phases of moon. </em>

What happens when a metal is reduced. Give an example of a metal being reduced
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The oxidation number of the metal decreases

2 Al  + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO

The metal element iron, is reduced from Fe⁺³ in Fe₂O₃ to Fe⁺² in FeO

Explanation:

When an element gains electron, the element becomes reduced, hence when a metal is reduced, the metal gains electrons, which reduces the oxidation number of the metal

An example of a metal being reduced is;

2 Al  + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO

In the above reaction, the iron (III) oxide is reduced to iron (II) oxide by aluminium metal.

Dafna11 [192]
Often, the rock layers bookending the mass extinction are noticeably different in their compositions. These changes in the rocks show the effects of environmental disturbances that triggered the mass extinction and sometimes hint at the catastrophic cause of the extinction
