Answer 1
Answer:

1.C | 2.D | 3.B | 4.D

1. The point in the Moon's orbit when it's farthest away from the Earth is called apogee.  On the contrary, the perigee is the point in the Moon's orbit when it's the nearest from the Earth. Those points are very important for tides and other natural phenomenon such as eclipse and in general for the observation of the skies.

2. Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation cannot be focused. They diffuse from the emission points until there is an object that stops them. This is the reason why when you  have to use gamma rays, you are in other rooms, in order to prevent the radiation to go through them.

3. The corona it's the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere.  It's also the part where most of the activity of the sun that we can see take places. It's a subject that has fascinating scientists for centuries and only recently we are studying in more details this interesting and weird place, due to the advancement of technology.

4. Tides are a result of the gravitational attraction of the Sun and Moon. The Earth, the Sun and the Moon have masses and their own gravities. The interactions between these corps causes tides movement on Earth that are fundament to life on the planet, because they are a fundamental part in the cycle of water and air.  

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

1.C

2.D

3.B

4.D

Explanation:

1. The orbit on which moon revolve around earth has a perigee point which is the nearest point to earth while apogee is the farthest point to planet earth.  

A penumbral is a region in which occluding body obscure a portion of light. It has no relation with the moon's orbit. Also an eclipse is a phase based on position of moon with respect to earth and sun

Hence, option C is correct

2. Gamma rays are extremely powerful and energetic as they are produced as a result of radiation and hence it is very difficult to focus them on normal lenses which are designed to focus only visible light. They interact with the matter of the focusing surface and destroys them selves.

Hence, option D is correct

3. Corona is the outer surface of stars  that extends to millions of kilometers into the space. Sun being a star has corona at its outer layer which is visible only during  

total solar eclipse. Hence option B is correct

4. When the gravitational force of moon attracts the water on earth, it presume a rising and falling form that is termed as tides.  

Hence option D is correct

What are two of the processes that move tectonic plates over the surface of earth

Answers

tectonic plates float on amass of melted lava. its very hot and produces gases. these gases tend to move the plates with the compression becomes very high and the gases do not find an exit.the other reason is the plates themselves tend to move. because of the temprature gradient. the plates are hotter on the lower side which forces the plates to move up. and they are colder on the outside,which forces the plates to move downward..this is the other reason why the plates move 

Vanessa notices that even though her 80-year-old grandmother keeps her thermostat at 800 F, she still wears a sweater in her house. When Vanessa asks her grandmother why, her grandmother tells her she is very cold. Vanessa can’t understand this and asks you for an explanation. What would you tell her?

Answers

Answer:

As one age, the bodies become subtle to cold temperatures. This is generally due to decline in the metabolic rate. As one age, the bodies lose the tendency of producing sufficient heat to sustain the usual temperature of 98.6 degrees. In addition to this, thinning of the skin is another thing, which may contribute to the feeling of cold in older individuals.  

With age, the physical tendency of the body declines, and the body does not function as it used to earlier. A decline in temperature can make the older adults very cold, even if they are dressed warmly. There are various researchers, which shows that older individuals exhibit low body temperatures in comparison to the younger ones.  

Some of the factors that can contribute to cold sensitivity in older adults are:  

1. Poor metabolic rate

2. Loss of elasticity of the blood vessels.  

3. Low blood pressure

4. Thinning of the fat layer underneath the skin

5. Physical issues and exposure to cold water
