Answer: He found a rock, and the crystals inside are minerals.
Options:
- He found a rock, and the crystals inside are minerals.
-
He found a mineral, and the crystals inside are rocks.
- He found a rock, and the crystals inside are rocks, too.
-
He found a mineral, and the crystals inside are made of dirt.
Explanation:
A rock differs from a mineral. While they are both solid, a mineral has a crystalline structure while a rock does not have a specific structure. Rocks are made up of different mineral structures and that is what Joseph discovered on dropping the rock, one of the component minerals in the rock. For example, a type of rock, slate may consist of feldspar, quartz among many other minerals.
The North Star appeared to move higher in the sky.
Answer: Option 3
<u>Explanation:</u>
North star is a special star found in the sky which is said to be fixed in the sky and does not move from it's place and the reason for this is that this star is very near to the axis of the planet Earth and is the only star that does not change it's position in relation to the rotation of earth. So since Albany is to the north of the New York city, the star will appear to move higher towards the north in the sky.
Answer:
on Hudson Bay and extending for 8 million square km (3 million square miles) over eastern, central, and northwestern Canada from the Great Lakes to the Canadian Arctic and into Greenland, with small extensions into northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and New York, U.S.
To find the epicenter (the point on the earth's surface where an earthquake begins) during earthquakes, one need to view the seismogram (a record of the ground motion), and at least two other seismographs recorded for the same earthquake. Other instruments such as a map, a compass for sketching circles on the map, a ruler, and a pencil will also be used.
The following are the steps of the triangulation process in the correct order to find the epicenter during earthquakes:
Step 1: Subtract the time of P wave arrival from S wave arrival.
Step 2: See what the time difference is equal to in distance on a seismic wave chart.
Step 3: Draw circles representing the distances from at least three seismograph stations to the epicenter on a map.
Step 4: Find the point where all 3 circles intersect, and you've found the earthquake's epicenter.
In a region that has a humid continental climate, the animals and plants living there should have some specific adaptations in order for them to survive without any bigger problem in the environment.
The animals have thicker fur which is also waterproof, in order to keep them warm, and to not allow that they are wet and heavy because of the common rains. They also tend to develop and even thicker winter coat in order for them to survive the cold snowy winters.
The plants tend to shed their leafs in the autumn as they put themselves in a hibernation mode for the cold winter, and then grow them again in the spring for the vegetative season in the coming months. They tend to be plants that manage to consume large amounts of water, but also can restrict the amount of water, as the evaporation is not as high in this parts, so they have to limit the water in order to not over-saturate themselves.
