the earth has seasons due to its tilt. three pieces of evidence proving this is the case are given below. please identify the one statement below that is not one of the pieces of evidence. question 1 options: the earth's elliptical orbit: the change in distance to the sun within the ellipse is only a few percent, which is not enough to cause the seasonal changes. simultaneously opposite seasons: the northern and southern hemispheres experience opposite seasons simultaneously, which is not possible if the changing distance was responsible for the changing seasons. the earth's closest approach: the earth's closest approach to the sun occurs in january one of the coldest months in the northern hemisphere the solar system's motion: the solar system is moving within the milky way galaxy itself, which causes the tilt of the earth.

Commercial agriculture in dry climates relies heavily on irrigation. Which of the following best explains an environmental concern that results from irrigation in arid regions?The high use of water for agriculture increases the price of water for people in urban areas.The soil will have increased salinity, leading to soil erosion and reduced nutrients in the soil for plant health.The increased production that results from irrigation of the crop will lead to decreases in crop prices as the total crop harvested will be higher.The plants grown in this dry region will start to adapt to use less water, but the period to maturity will increase.

Cryovolcanism always ejects water ice crystals while regular volcanism always ejects rock.B. Cryovolcanism operates at a higher temperature.C. Both eject material from the interior of a planetary body.D. Only regular volcanism has ever been observed. Cryovolcanism refers to ancient volcanism.E. Both can be used to help determine the age of the surface of a body.F. Regular volcanism is driven by a molten rock interior, while cryovolcanism is driven by a cold liquid interior.

the sequence of deposition is a puzzle that geologists often have to solve. study the relative positions of the rock layers while considering how this outcrop formed, and then read the following statements and determine which are correct. select the three that apply. view available hint(s)for part d the sequence of deposition is a puzzle that geologists often have to solve. study the relative positions of the rock layers while considering how this outcrop formed, and then read the following statements and determine which are correct.select the three that apply. the environmental conditions (e.g., wind, amount of ash) were similar during deposition of these sediments. a close inspection of the sediments near the measuring stick shows no evidence of erosion or weathering. there is a large clast (a fragment of rock) that appears to be different from and inserted into the sediment. the layer at the bottom of the measuring stick was deposited prior to the layer at the top of the measuring stick. there is evidence of changes in how sediment was transported during deposition of these sediments.

Identifying the type of rock in an outcropping and seeing how it has deformed can help to determine the history of the surrounding area.There are three basic types of rock: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.Igneous rocks, such as granite, are directly formed from cooling magma.Sedimentary rocks, such as shale or limestone, are formed by layer upon layer of loose sediment, either from small bits of other inorganic rocks or the remains of living organic creatures, being deposited upon one another. Over time these sediments are turned to stone. Shales are formed by inorganic sedimentation, and limestones are comprised of organic materials.Metamorphic rocks, such as gneiss, slate, or marble, are any type of rock that has undergone extreme heat and pressure and has been transformed into a new type of rock. Gneiss can be formed from granite, slate is formed from shale, and marble is the metamorphic result of heat and pressure being applied to limestone.The outcropping that we are looking at is comprised of marble. Knowing what we know about the principles of geography, go through the statements below and put the events in chronological order from oldest to youngest.Rank the areas identified in the cross section from oldest to youngest.
