Reversals are the rule, not the exception. Earth has settled in the last 20 million years into a pattern of a pole<span> reversal about every 200,000 to 300,000 years, although it has been more than twice that </span>long<span> since the last reversal.</span>
Answer:
The seasons are caused by the tilt of Earth's axis in relation to the sun. ... During summer, Antarctica is on the side of Earth tilted toward the sun and is in constant sunlight. In the winter, Antarctica is on the side of Earth tilted away from the sun, causing the continent to be dark.
Explanation:
In order to measure the size of the electrical current flowing in the circuit,
the current must pass through the meter.
Answer:
887.1Hz
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Speed of sound wave = 330m/s
Wavelength = 0.372m
Unknown:
Frequency = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we use the expression below:
Speed = Frequency x wavelength
330 = Frequency x 0.372
Frequency = 887.1Hz

Answer: </h2><h2>
- Jupiter has orbiting moons.</h2><h2>
- The Sun has sunspots and rotates on its axis.</h2><h2>
- The Moon has mountains, valleys, and craters.</h2><h2>
- Venus goes through a full set of phases.</h2>
Explanation:
In 1609 Galileo built a telescope, with which he observed mountains and craters on the Moon, discovered Jupiter’s major satellites and the next year he published these discoveries in his book <em>The Sidereal Messenger</em>.
In addition, Galileo observed that Venus presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth. This is because <u>Venus presented its smaller size when it was in full phase and the largest size when it was in the new one, when it is between the Sun and the Earth. </u>
<u />
On the other hand, <u>although Galileo was not the first to observe sunspots</u>, he gave the correct explanation of their existence, which supported the idea that planets revolve around the Sun.
These observations and discoveries were presented by Galileo to the Catholic Church (which supported the geocentric theory at that time) as a proof that completely refuted Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirmed Copernicus' heliocentric theory.
