Suppose we found a Terrestrial planet in the inner solar system with twice Earth's mass. Which of the following statements would

you expect to be true about it?
a. The planet will be more active than Earth because it is larger, but it will not have plate tectonics or composite volcanoes because those are unique to Earth
b. The new planet will be cooler than Earth because it is much older, and it will therefore be less geologically active with a thicker lithosphere.
c. It is impossible to tell what the new planet would be like because we know nothing about its age, orbit, or composition
d. The new planet would be hotter and more active than Earth with a bigger atmosphere, more water, and possible plate tectonics and composite volcanoes.
e. The new planet's location in the Solar System will determine how hot it is. If it is closer to the Sun, it will be hotter and more active than Earth.
f. The new planet would be cooler than Earth and less active because the higher gravity will make it challenging for plate tectonics.

An example of an internal geologic process would be _____.
NNADVOKAT [17]

Internal geological agents and processes are drive by the heat that is stored in the Earth's interior. They usually occur far from the surface. The main internal geological agent is the movement of the lithospheric plates. The most evident and catastrophic events caused by this movement are Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Others are the movement of the continents, the opening of new seas and the closing of old ones, or the formation of mountain ranges.

Describe the forces that drive the hydrological cycle
Marrrta [24]
The driving force for the hydrologic cycle is the sun, which provides the energy needed for evaporation just as the flame of a gas stove provides the energy necessary to boil water and create steam.

Precipitation that falls as snow in glacial regions takes a somewhat different journey through the water cycle, accumulating at the head of glaciers and causing them to flow slowly down valleys.

The ecological water cycle describes how water moves through phase changes and from oceans to the atmosphere to the land. Heat from the energy of the sun is the underlying or driving force for the water cycle.

Key Concepts

Though the amount of water on Earth remains constant, it is regularly cycling through the ecosystem through various processes.

Earth's water supply is stored in a variety of ways, from ice sheets to oceans to underground reservoirs.

Like other processes occurring on Earth, the hydrologic cycle is affected by global warming and, as a result, influences climate and weather patterns.


The water cycle is driven primarily by the energy from the sun. This solar energy drives the cycle by evaporating water from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the soil. Other water moves from plants to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration. As liquid water evaporates or transpires, it forms water vapor and clouds, where water droplets eventually gain enough mass to fall back to Earth as precipitation. The precipitation then becomes run-off or ground water, and works its way—over various timescales—back into the surface reservoirs. The water cycle is essentially a closed system, meaning that the volume of water that is in the hydrosphere today is the same amount of water that has always been present in the Earth system.
