Answer:

The rocks could be sorted based on their internal composition or reflective properties. They could even be sorted based on their strength, age, or where the rocks came from.

Which statement regarding the June solstice is true?
il63 [147K]
<h2>Answer: D. The Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun.</h2>

Explanation:

Solstices are astronomical events that occur twice a year (June and December), in which<u> the Sun reaches its highest or lowest apparent height in the sky, and the duration of the day or night are the maximum of the year, respectively.</u> This is because the Sun reaches the maximum north or south declination with respect to the terrestrial equator.  

In this case we will talk about the June solstice, which <u>occurs regularly around June 21st and marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere</u> and the beginning of winter in the southern hemisphere.  

This happens because the Earth reaches the point of its orbit in which, due to the inclination of its axis, the North Pole is closer to the Sun.  

In other words, <u>the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun. </u>

<u></u>

This astronomical phenomenon brings the longest day and the shortest night of the year for the Northern Hemisphere.

Where are most of the major earthquakes in relationship to the crustal plates?
VashaNatasha [74]

Most of the major earthquakes on the planet are located on the places where the boundaries of the plates are, or very close to it. Some plate boundaries are more active than the others though, so the intensity of the earthquakes varies from place to place.

The most intense earthquakes seem to appear alongside the so called ''Ring of Fire''. This is actually where the boundary of the Pacific plate is, where this plate is sunducting bellow the plates that surround it. Because the Pacific plate is a massive plate, with its subduction, it causes very big and lot of adjustments into the crust. Because of these constant adjustments, there's earthquakes almost every second in some part of this plate's boundary. Unfortunately, occasionally it causes devastating earthquakes, where lot of people lose their lives and huge material damage is caused as well.
