Answer:

What caused earth to tilt?

Explanation:

Long, long ago, when Earth was young, it is thought that something big hit Earth and knocked it off-kilter. So instead of rotating with its axis straight up and down, it leans over a bit. By the way, that big thing that hit Earth is called Theia.

Answer:

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

Describe two technological innovations that improved our understanding of human evolution.
FromTheMoon [43]

The first is gene sequencing. This allows the sequence of nucleotides on DNA of different organisms to be identified. The sequence is then compared the bigger the difference in this sequence, the stranger the organisms are with regards to the evolutionary relationship.

<span>The second is carbon dating. This enables anthropologists to determine the age of fossils by calculating the time taken, in half-lives, by particular elements to decay, such as carbon-14 </span>

Mendel crossed a pure wrinkled seeded plant with a round seeded one. All the offspring were round seeded. Which trait is dominan
Marat540 [252]
According to this problem, this is an example of complete dominance, so the dominant allele would be the allele that codes for physical trait for roundness of the seed.

So the cross would be like this:
W = allele for round seed
w = allele for wrinkled seed

P1 gen = ww • WW
F1 gen = Ww
Since all of the offspring are heterozygous the result is that the dominant allele suppressed the recessive allele for wrinkled seed.

True or False? Winds always flow from low pressure to high pressure.
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

False

True

True

True

The Coriolis effect describes the pattern of deflection taken by objects not firmly connected to the ground as they travel long distances around Earth.

Explanation:

false because wind flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

True because It takes less energy to change the temperature of land compared to water.

True because All wind is caused by the uneven heating of Earth's surface.

True because Wind is the horizontal motion of air. ... Therefore, the movement of air is called 'wind.

xxTIMURxx [149]
Ocean Surface Topography. Orbiting spacecrafts make highly accurate measurements of the height of the ocean surface - commonly called 'sea level' - to gather long-term information about the world's ocean and its currents. ... The geoid is the shape the sea surface would have if all the currents and tides stopped.
