What is the type of magma cells that move the lithosphere in the asthenosphere?

Draw

Draw a pot of water and label the flow of water if it was heated on a burner.

​The flow of the outer core creates our magnetic field. This is called the dyno theory.

Multiple Choice

We have different seasons because:

• Our tilt makes the light rays from the Sun either more direct or not.

• Our tilt makes us closer and farther from the Sun.

• The distance of our ellipse changes based on the time of the year.

• The days become longer and shorter based on the seasons

Multiple Choice

The tilt of the Earth changes throughout the year:

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

Why does the sun change position in the sky?

• Because the sun goes around the flat Earth

• Because the tilt of the earth wobbles back and forth based on the time of the year.

• Because the position of the Earth changes and it is on a tilt

• Because the sun is changing distances away from the earth throughout the year.
