Detailed explanation-1: -Which best describes how energy from the sun helps maintain life on Earth? It heats Earth’s atmosphere and surface, which helps stabilize temperatures on Earth and creates environments more favorable for life to exist.
Detailed explanation-2: -When the sun, moon, and Earth are in alignment (at the time of the new or full moon), the solar tide has an additive effect on the lunar tide, creating extra-high high tides, and very low, low tides-both commonly called spring tides.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of these statements best explains the shape of Earth? Because of its rotation about its axis, Earth has a greater circumference around the equator than around the Prime Meridian.
Detailed explanation-4: -The main direct cause of biodiversity loss is land use change (primarily for large-scale food production) which drives an estimated 30% of biodiversity decline globally. Second is overexploitation (overfishing, overhunting and overharvesting) for things like food, medicines and timber which drives around 20%.
Detailed explanation-5: -Wetlands destruction has increased flood and drought damage, nutrient runoff and water pollution, and shoreline erosion, and triggered a decline in wildlife populations.
