Formation. Our solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a dense cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The cloud collapsed, possibly due to the shockwave of a nearby exploding star, called a supernova. When this dust cloud collapsed, it formed a solar nebula—a spinning, swirling disk of material. Approximately 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system was a cloud of dust and gas known as a solar nebula. Gravity collapsed the material in on itself as it began to spin, forming the sun in the center of the nebula. With the rise of the sun, the remaining material began to clump together. Part of Hall of the Universe. The Sun and the planets formed together, 4.6 billion years ago, from a cloud of gas and dust called the solar nebula. A shock wave from a nearby supernova explosion probably initiated the collapse of the solar nebula. ... In a similar manner, moons formed orbiting the gas giant planets. Hope this helps!
The latitudes where the sun strikes the earth directly at the time of the June and December solstices.

<u>Erosional deformation
</u> is not a form of rock deformation.
Answer: Option B
<u>Explanation:</u>
Rocks are all the time being subjected to force within the surface of earth because of which these rocks tend to twist, bend or get fractured. This causes the rock to change in their shape or size which is known as the deformation of rock and this deformation is affected by temperature, rock type, time and the pressure. Rocks deform in two ways which are ductile and brittle deformation.
Answer:
See in explanation below.
Explanation:
Mount Saint Helens and Paricutin are different in their elevation. mount St Helen's elevation is 8,366 feet, while Paricutin's elevation is 9,186. However both are similar because they both have the cinder cone shape.
Answer:
1.- b. when the Moon is at right angles to the direction of the Sun.
2.-b. when the Moon is directly opposite the position of the Sun.
3.-b. when the Moon is closer to the Sun than the Earth is.
Explanation:
- The First Quarter Moon is when we can see exactly half of the Moon's surface illuminated. If it is the left or right half, it depends on where you are on Earth. If we observe the diagram I added we can see than <em>the moon is at right angles to the direction of the Sun</em> when it's in this phase.
- Full Moon happens when<em> the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun</em>, this makes the bright side of the Moon face the Earth. This is also observable in the diagram.
- The New Moon always occurs when <em>the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, therefore it's closer to the Sun than the Earth</em>, the bright side of the Moon is facing away from the Earth. You can check this in the diagram as well.
I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
