The data table lists information about the planets in our solar system.
Based on the data, select the two statements that best describe the planets in our solar system.

Planets farther from the Sun revolve faster than planets closer to the Sun.

The orbital period of a planet determines the gravitational pull of that planet.

Planets farther from the Sun take longer to orbit the Sun than planets closer to the Sun.

The mass of a planet is the only factor that determines the Sun's gravitational pull on that planet.

Planets closer to the center of the solar system have greater masses than planets farther from the Sun.

The mass of a planet and its distance from the Sun determine the Sun's gravitational pull on that planet.

The diagram represents the geologic profile of an area.
Which statement best describes the formation of rock in this geologic profile area?

The magma intrusion occurred before the deposition of the limestone on both sides of the intrusion.

The rock beneath the magma intrusion formed when multiple layers of sediment were deposited over time.

The limestone formed when the heat from the magma intrusion partially melted existing rock, changing its properties.

The rock in the area has undergone changes from the heat of the magma intrusion and the pressure from surrounding rock layers.

A student wants to develop a model to illustrate how Earth's magnetic field is produced. Which pair of statements describes characteristics that the student must include in the model?

The model should show Earth's interior layers. The outer core should be liquid metal and able to move.

The model should show Earth's interior layers. The solid, outermost layer should be made of several different pieces.

The model should show the moon's orbit around Earth. An arrow should show the direction the moon pulls on Earth's oceans.

The model should show the moon's orbit around Earth. An arrow showing Earth's gravitational pull on the moon should point from the moon to Earth.

The model shows how wind patterns near the sea change between daytime and nighttime.
What is the most likely factor that causes the change in these wind patterns?

Seawater can hold more energy than fresh water during the daytime.

Air above land heats up and cools off more quickly than air above water.

The lack of sunlight during nighttime causes air to cool and sink over the water.

The shape of the land is constantly being changed by the motion of the seawater.
