The graph for past and projected sea level rise shows a large projected range for the year 2100. What is the BEST conclusion to be formed from looking at the graph?

• Scientists do not know how fast the ides in glaciers and ice caps will melt.

• Scientist do not know how sea level will be measured in the future.

• Scientists do not know how oceans will respond to fresh water from the glaciers and ice caps.

• Scientists do not know how much ise is in in the glaciers and ice caps.

Which characteristics of the solar system are BEST explained by the shape and motion of the flattened spinning disc that came from the solar nebula?

• The disc shape of the flattened solar nebula explains the spherical shape of the planets. The spinning motion of the disc explains why all of the planets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the Sun rotation.

• The disc shape of the flattened solar nebula explains the spherical shape of the planets. The spinning motion of the disc explains why all of the planets orbit the Sun in the opposite direction as the Sun rotation.

Which piece of evidence provided the BEST support for the Solar Nebula Theory?

• There are no impact craters on the Jovian Planets.

• All the planets in the solar system are made up of the same elements.

• Radiometric dating show that Earth’s oldest rocks, lunar rocks, and meteorites, were all formed at different time periods.

• Radiometric dating show that Earth’s oldest rocks, lunar rocks, and meteorites, were all formed at the same time period.
