Answer:
1. The winter solstice occurs during the hemisphere's winter. In the Northern Hemisphere, this is the December solstice (usually 21 or 22 December) and in the Southern Hemisphere, this is the June solstice (usually 20 or 21 June).
2. The Sun lies directly over 23 1/2o south. Occurring during the astrological sign of Capricorn, 23 1/2o south latitude is called the Tropic of Capricorn. Continuing to March 21st (i.e. spring equinox) the Earth has positioned itself similar to that which occurs in September, only on the other side of the Sun.
3. June 21
The latitude of 23 ½ degrees north is known as the Tropic of Cancer, and it is the northern boundary of the tropics. Question: On June 21, the subsolar point is at about 23 1/2 degrees north.
4. In 2020, the Sun will cross the celestial equator from north to south on September 22, at 13:30 UTC. Because of time zone differences, the equinox will take place on September 23, 2020 at locations that are at least 10:30 hours ahead of UTC.
5. December 21st was the Winter Solstice in the northern hemisphere. That's the day when Earth's north pole was pointed completely away from the Sun. If you lived north of the Arctic Circle, like Santa Claus, you would have experienced 24 hours of darkness. It was the day Sun never rose.
6. The farthest south that the sun's rays shine directly is latitude 23 ½ degrees south, the Tropic of Capricorn. This is the southern boundary of the tropics. On this day, the area north of the Arctic Circle gets no sunlight, and the area south of the Antarctic Circle gets 24 hours of light.
7. Tropic of Capricorn, 23 1/2 degrees S. Tropic of Cancer, 23 1/2 degrees N. Arctic Circle, 66 1/2 degrees N. Antarctic Circle, 66 1/2 degrees S. North Pole, 90 ...
8. Tropic of Capricorn: 23.5 degrees south of equator. ... at midday on December 21 is 90-36-23.5 = 30.5 degrees; on March 21
9. equator
The equator is an imaginary line drawn right around Earth's middle, like a belt. It divides Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. Another imaginary line drawn straight through Earth connecting the North Pole to the South Pole is Earth's axis of rotation.
10. A day is the amount of time it takes a planet to finish one rotation on its axis. It takes Earth approximately 365 days and 6 hours to orbit the Sun. It takes Earth approximately 24 hours — 1 day — to rotate on its axis. So, our year is not an exact number of days.
Explanation:
Answer:
Antarctic Circle - 23 ½ degrees north of the South Pole
solstice - Latin root word meaning sun stands still
June 21 - summer solstice
September 23 - fall equinox
Tropic of Capricorn - 23 ½ degrees south of the equator
Arctic Circle - 23 ½ degrees south of the North Pole
March 21 - spring equinox
Tropic of Cancer - 23 ½ degrees north of the equator
equinox - Latin root word meaning equal night
December 21 - winter solstice
Explanation: At this time, the sun's closest and most direct rays strike the earth along a line 23½ degrees south of the equator. This line is called the Tropic of Capricorn. As you can see in the diagram, an area around the North Pole will not receive sunlight at all. The imaginary line of the Arctic Circle encloses this area. The Arctic Circle is only 23½ degrees south of the North Pole.
Around the South Pole lies an area which has twenty-four hours of daylight on December 21. This area is bounded by the Antarctic Circle, which is 23½ degrees north of the South Pole.
The equator is now south of the most direct rays of the sun, and the sun shines straight down on the imaginary line called the Tropic of Cancer, which lies 23½ degrees north of the equator. Summer is the season in the Northern Hemisphere, when winter is the season south of the equator. People who live in the Southern Hemisphere have their longest night of the year of this date, and those in the north have their shortest night.
(The word solstice comes from the Latin root words which mean "sun" and "to make stand still.")
(The word equinox comes from the Latin root words which mean "equal," and nox, which means "night.")

I have one example already but I need some extra help, I would really appreciate it!
Answer: here it is :D
Explanation:As nouns the difference between thermosphere and troposphere. is that thermosphere is thermosphere (layer of the earth's atmosphere) while troposphere is troposphere. thermosphere. English. Noun. The layer of the Earth's atmosphere directly above the mesosphere and directly below the exosphere.
Answer:
thermosphere is thermosphere (layer of the earth's atmosphere) while troposphere is troposphere.
ation:
This layer also contains ratios of nitrogen and oxygen similar to the troposphere, except the concentrations are 1000 times less and there is little water vapor there, so the air is too thin for weather to occur. The thermosphere is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere.

Explain why.
Sand is best for the locating a drinking water well, it is free of rocks good for the water well, hence option A is correct.
What is sand?It is a dry, light, warm, and observe to be acidic and low in nutrients. Sandy soils are frequently suggested as light soils due to their high quantity of sand and little clay (clay measures more than sand).
There are four different types of soil:
Sandy soil.Clay Soil.Silt Soil.Loamy Soil.If soil comprises larger proportion of big particles, it is known as sandy soil. If the quantity of fine particles is comparatively higher, then it is named clayey soil. The quantity of large and fine particles is usually the same, then the soil is called loamy.
Therefore, sand is the best for the locating a drinking water well, hence option A is correct.

According to this food web, which of the following organisms do hawks eat?
Snakes and squirrels
Wolves and mushrooms
Grasshoppers and wolves
Squirrels and mushrooms
Answer:
snakes and squirrels
Explanation:
According to this food web, hawks eat the organisms like Snakes and squirrels. Thus, the correct option is A.
What is the Food web?The food web may be defined as the interconnection of a large number of the food chain with one another and forming a web-like pattern.
In a food web, one organism can hold more than one position. In other words, it is a series of branching lines rather than a straight line. The flow of energy is very difficult to calculate in the food web.
Hawks are the tertiary consumers that eat toads, snakes, squirrels, etc. So, hawks are carnivore organisms. Because of being the tertiary consumers, they significantly depend on secondary consumers.
Mushrooms are decomposers. So, options B and D are eliminated. Option C contains grasshoppers that feed on the grass directly. So, they are primary consumers in the food web.
Therefore, according to this food web, hawks eat the organisms like Snakes and squirrels. Thus, the correct option is A.

Organisms are generally much different from their ancestors in the fossil record.
Explanation:
Today organisms are generally different from their ancestors in the fossil records because of the concept of evolution.
Evolution has caused ancient organisms to change drastically from their present day cohorts.
Although, some similarities exists and they can help tell how the organisms have evolved, nonetheless, ancient life forms are much different. Paleontologists use evidence from a diverse source to interpret fossils in order to show relationships between organisms.Linguists know how people began to speak.

Explain your observations on what organisms need to grow. Explain how human activity can impact an organism’s ability to obtain the resources it needs to survive. State your opinion about how human activity can be changed to have less impact on the lives of other organisms.
Answer:
All living organisms need food, water, and shelter in order to grow and survive. Human activities can have a lot of impacts on different organisms; whether they’re good or bad. Humans may take away natural habitats for some by expanding into a previously untouched area. In the same sense, they might end up accidentally providing a food or water source. Although there is some good, humans should limit and change their activities in order to have a less impact on the lives of other organisms. We could create more national or state parks, which would make a safe haven for a lot of organisms. We could impose stricter punishments for people for litter as it harms organisms. We might create nature preserves in order to force humans to leave alone the other organisms in a certain area. Overall, we play a big role in a lot of different organisms lives and we need to make sure it’s a positive one.
Hope this helped, all written by me so no plagiarism(:
Explanation:
Human activity is a major threat to the planet's biodiversity. This is because human population growth thus far has been exponential, meaning that its growth rate stays the same regardless of population size. This makes the population grow faster and faster as it gets larger.
Populations may grow exponentially for some period, but they ultimately reach a carrying capacity when they become limited by resource availability. Humans, however, have continued to work around carrying capacity as they develop new technologies to help support the ever-growing population. This threatens biodiversity because the more humans there are, the more this displaces other species and reduces species richness. Human-mediated causes of biodiversity loss. Deforestation for resource mining or urbanization can displace native organisms. Deforestation for resource mining or urbanization can displace native organisms.

Which glow stick will be brighter once it is bent? Explain your answer.
Answer:
The glow stick that was in the cup of hot water will be brighter once it is bent. The production of more light is evidence that the chemical reaction in the glow stick is happening faster. The reaction happens faster, because increasing the temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction.
