Question

See sections 8-10 to 8-13 in Chapter 8: 12. Meteoroids, meteors, and meteorites. Which are found on the ground? Which are scattered around the solar system (not running into anything)? Which are vaporizing as they approach the ground of a planet? 13. True or false? Some meteorites are rocks that come from inner parts of asteroids, while others come from outer parts of asteroids. (Note: Question Set #4 has MORE questions from Chapter 7 and Chapter 8) See section 6-2 in Chapter 6, near the end of that section: Answer these questions: 14) Some visible light and other radiation can penetrate through the Earth's atmosphere down to the surface of the Earth. The surface absorbs the light. The Earth then radiates this energy back outward as what type of radiation? Ultraviolet? X-rays? Radio waves? Infrared? Seismic waves? 15) There are several "greenhouse gases" which help warm our planet. These are gases that can absorb the infrared radiation. These gases especially include water vapor and what other two gases? Here are some choices: Oxygen, nitrogen, methane, and carbon dioxide. See sections 6-3 to 6-4 in Chapter 6: Answer these questions: 16) Earth's surface is divided into sections, which are like rafts of rock sitting upon other layers below. What are these sections called? Here are some choices: mantle plumes, tectonic plates, moraines, fault lines. plrot all
