Question 13 (1 point)

galileo saw venus changing size; what did this prove?

question 13 options:

a)

heliocentric theory

b)

geocentric theory

c)

big bang theory

d)

solar nebula theory

The correct answer is A. Heliocentric theory

Explanation:

Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, mainly known for his observations that led Galilei to conclude planets revolve around the Sun (Heliocentric theory) instead of the sun and other planets revolving around the Earth (Geogcentrict theory). One of the observations that make Galilei drew this conclusion were telescopic observation of Venus, in this Galieli noticed similar to the moon Venus had different "phases" or changed its size and lighting, which was only possible if the sun was in the center of the solar system and planets revolve around it including the Earth. Thus, that Galileo was Venus changing size proved the Heliocentric theory.

hello!

let's go through all of these words' definitions.

u-shaped valley - where the valley curves down like a u shape

corrie - similar to the hole created at the top of a volcano when it erupts, it's almost like a dent in a mountain

pyramidal peak - a mountain where the peak is very sharp, such as the matterhorn.

arete - two valleys separated by a thin mountain range

i'm going to assume you know how to read a topographic map, but in case you don't, feel free to comment.

now, let's figure out which one's which:

a - seems to be a mountain range separating two valleys, with a mountain running from top center to bottom center and two valleys on either side. therefore, i'd consider this an arete.

b - it looks like a dent into the mountain, like what a corrie is.

c - looks to be a valley, with two steeper sides curving up around the bottom of the valley which has a river in it. i would consider this an u-shaped valley.

hope this !
