Which of the following is caused by the interaction of the solar wind with magnetic lines of force and gases in polar regions?
Roughly 50% of Earth’s surface is covered by oceans and seas.
Iron, Oxygen, Silicon, and Potassium make up most of the mass of the whole Earth

TrueThe core amounts for most of the volume of the earth
Earth's core is known to be dense and thought to be mostly composed of iron, nickel with small quantities of oxygen, sulphur, silicon and carbon. What proportion of Earth's mass is contained within the core?
About 1/3
The inner core is so hot, it’s liquid, and therefore some seismic waves can’t travel through it
FALSE--- the outer core, not the inner core, is liquid and impedes travel of some seismic
waves.
Silicon is by far the most abundant element of Earth’s crust by mass proportion; iron is the
second most abundant.
FALSE—because oxygen bonds to other elements to form many minerals, it account for about
half (by weight) and more than 90% (by volume) of Earth’s crust.
Imagine yourself in a universe that is exhibiting a blue shift of light from distant galaxies. This
must mean
:
It’s
collapsing
Identify the FALSE statement. The Big Bang:
Explains how our Solar System developed
Our Moon
Was formed by the collision of Earth with a Mars-sized protoplanet
Was a separate small planet before it was captured by earth’s gravity (
theory disproven)
Is 93 million miles away from Earth
(False- it is about 238,855 miles from Earth)
Is 4.3 light-years away from Earth
(False)
Has a composition similar to Earth’s core (
false)
Our Solar System
Is centrally positioned in the Milky Way Galaxy
(false- positioned at outskirts)

Formed 10 billion years ago
(False-
Formed 4.6 billion years ago)
Has a massive, first-generation star in its centre
(False-
The Sun is not a first generation
star)
Completes one rotation around the centre of the Milky Way every 250 million years
.
All answers are correct
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus are the Jovian Planets
False
1.
The planets inside the orbit of the earth are called the
Inferior Planets
: Mercury and
Venus.
