Answer:
c) The planetoid is being attracted toward another massive object.
Explanation:
We can rule out a, the planetoid is travelling through space, friction is effectively nonexistent. B can be ruled out as well, as there is nothing in space that could naturally repel a planetoid. D is also implausible, as the question says the planetoid slows down for a certain period in its orbit, suggesting this behavior is repeated. Option c is incredibly likely, as the planetoid is far from the sun, a large mass, possibly far smaller than the sun but also far closer to the planetoid, could have the effect described in the question.
The answer is A.) Deflation
Answer:
1. Distance from the sea
2. Ocean currents
3. Direction of prevailing winds

5. Distance from the equator
Answer:
volcanoes and earthquakes is the top tectonic plate affects that can cause extinction
Explanation:
Volcanoes: because of a volcanoes lava intense heat it could kill species. Lava is the hottest natural substance there is on earth. Also the fumes and gases that come from volcanoes are deadly and can kill species that inhale it even if the volcano is miles away.
Earthquakes: the highest stage of a earthquake can be devastating cracking open grounds and destroying everything in its path which also means that it can destroy certain species homes (trees, underground, mountains) which can kill them. Also they can cause land slides which can wipe out a species instantly if strong enough. Even the after affect can causes species to go extinct because if they can't find shelter or food then they could eventually die of starvation or dehydration.
