Pam observed many small earthworms in the backyard of her house after a heavy rain. what most likely formed the earthworms? rainwater that fell on stones wet mud in the backyard eggs of earthworms mixing of air and water

Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When it rains, then mud in the backyards become wet. It is known that earthworms live inside earth and diffusion of oxygen gets slower through water than through air.

As a result, supply of oxygen to the worms decreases in wet mud hence, they come to the surface in order to breathe.

Thus, we can conclude that wet mud in the backyard most likely formed the earthworms.

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
