Answer:

Answer b) is correct: the tropics are 25N and 25S, and the tilt is 25° for Mars.

Explanation:

The definition of the Arctic Circle is the circumference containing the area where, in the northern's summer solstice, it is wholly sunlit, while it is wholly dark (not reached by sunlight) in northern's winter solstice. (This reasoning may be followed for the Antarctic circle and the southern's summer and winter, by means of an analogy).

The existence of Arctic (and Antarctic) Circle is due to the planet's axis's tilt with respect to its revolution plane around the central objetc, i.e., our common Sun. <u>The angular distance of the Arctic Circle from martian's geographic North Pole is the same as Mars tilt value</u>. So, if the Arctic Circle is located 65° North, that means it is 65° away from the equator, and 90°-65° = 25° from the North Pole. This variable, called co-latitude, is complementary to the latitude (being 90° the sum of these two values, always).

So, the tilt value must be 25 degrees, which in turn means that the tropics must be at that same angular distance from the equator, both North and South. So the tropics are 25N and 25S. Answer b) is correct.

Which statement explains something that the fossil record indicates? Earth is 4. 5 billion years old. Mammals have always existe
Charra [1.4K]

The statement "Mass extinctions have occurred several times on Earth" explains the indication of the fossil record.

<h3>Indication of Fossil fuels:</h3>

Paleontologists are fascinated by the evolution and extinction of fossil species throughout geologic history. To do so, they look at all the fossils that have been preserved in sedimentary rocks.

The fossil record is what we call it. Paleontologists have been collecting fossils from sedimentary rock layers all over the world for over two centuries.

Their goal is to figure out how species have evolved over geologic time. It can be used as a geologic timescale once the succession is established.

Then, if a specific fossil is discovered in a rock, you can determine where it belongs on the geologic timescale.

Therefore, the correct option is the third sentence.

What planet is almost basically the same as earth
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Venus

In terms of size, average density, mass, and surface gravity, Venus is very similar to Earth. But Mars is the planet that is most similar to Earth in other ways. A Martian day is just over 24 hours, and its rotation axis is tilted by about the same amount as Earth's.
