  • Q7
    Which best describes how energy from the Sun helps to maintain life on Earth?
    It prevents the destruction of the magnetic field around Earth that protects all life forms.
    It heats Earth's atmosphere and surface which helps stabilize temperatures on Earth and creates environments more favorable for life to exist.
    It forms the ocean's water and the oxygen in the atmosphere that organisms need for life functions.
    It is absorbed by Earth's mantle which drives plate tectonics to form new land masses for organisms to live.

    a decrease in global wind patterns
    a larger-than-normal height difference between low tide and high tide
    an increase in temperature near the equator
    more earthquakes near the equator and fewer at the poles

  • Q9
    The rotation of Earth on its axis is gradually slowing. This change in rotation rate will MOST likely cause the
    phases of the moon to change more slowly.
    length of the orbit around the Sun to become shorter.

    length of days on Earth to become longer.
