Firlakuza [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The Moon doesn't make its own light, it just reflects the Sun's light as all the planets do. We see the Moon go through a changing cycle of phases each month due to its orbital motion around Earth and the changing geometry with which we view it.

Answer:

Explanation:

The moon orbits around the Earth in an elliptical path. As it moves along its orbit, it reflects light from sun back to Earth. Sometime the Earth's position in orbit blocks some of the sun light to the moon, its reflection will show Earth's shadow. The different size and position of Earth's shadow account for the moon's phases: no shadow at full moon and half shadow at crescent moon.

Varves are best developed...
Inessa05 [86]
Varves are best developed near glaciers because they represent light colored layers of coarser material deposited in the summer when the streams issuing from glaciers have more energy to erode coarser material compared to the fine silts and clay of the winter months when there is very little flow and very little erosion. They mostly occur in glacial lakes.

In North Korea, the government owns all factories and businesses. What type of economy does North Korea have?
yarga [219]

The correct answer is - c. command.

North Korea is a country where the government is controlling everything in the country, natural resources, media, production facilities, agricultural land...

The country is functioning on the basis and ideologies of the communism since it was formed, and it seems that it will stay that way for the foreseeable future.

Since the government is controlling the economy, and it is in the way of self-sustainability, so the economy is of the command type.
