If the mass of the sun were to increase, its gravitational pull would be stronger, and the planets would be drawn closer to it. If its mass were to decrease, its gravitational pull would be weaker and the planets would drift father away. 

I hope this helps!

Have a nice day!

B. The depth of the ocean far from the ridge (or the height of the ridge above the
Aloiza [94]

The ocean floor and its depth vary a lot from place to place. Maybe it is expected that the central parts of the oceans would be the deepest parts of them, while the closer the ocean floor is to the land it will be shallower, but that is not the case.

The central parts of the oceans have mid-ocean ridges. The mid-ocean ridges are volcanic underwater mountain ranges. There is constant propelling of magma, and as the magma cools off quickly it creates new crust. This results in the mid-ocean ridges gaining heights of up to 1.5 km above the surrounding area.

The further away we move from the mid-ocean ridges, or rather being closer to the oceanic margins, the depth actually increases. The reason for this is the erosiove power of the water, but also the subduction zones. The erosion manages to flatten the ocean floor, thus making it deeper, while the subduction zones are the places where the oceanic plate is moving downward toward the mantle, and it create ocean trenches which are very deep, in fact the deepest parts of the oceans.

In the 1980s the northeast region of Brazil received almost no precipitation for how many years?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

3 years

Explanation:

Even there was  a dry year in 1979, the area received almost the normal amount of rain in 1980.

In 1981 however, the year was quite dry, with rainfalls in drop of almost 20%, that began one of the most important drought in the history of Brazil.

In 1982, rainfalls were down by 30% and it got even worse.

In 1983, the rainfalls were down by about 35%, essentially destroying all the agriculture system that had been severely damaged by the two previous years.

In 1984, rain came back a bit higher than its traditional levels, and in 1985, the area was flooded by rain surpassing the average by 60%!
