true
False. Deformation is the process of changing the shape or size of a rock without breaking it. Liquefaction refers to the process where saturated soil loses strength and becomes liquid-like during an earthquake, which can lead to ground instability but is not the same as deformation.
False. An earthquake is a seismic wave caused by a sudden release of energy.
true
Yes, circular motion occurs on Earth. For example, objects like the Moon orbit around the Earth in a circular path, caused by gravitational forces. Additionally, weather systems like hurricanes exhibit circular motion as they rotate around a center.
True. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth's oceans, which result in the rising and falling of the ocean's surface levels.
FALSE. BSE is caused by a PRION or misfolded protein, NOT a virus.
False. The seasons on Earth are primarily caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis rather than its distance from the Sun. While the Earth's orbit is elliptical and does cause slight variations in distance, the axial tilt (approximately 23.5 degrees) leads to the changing seasons as different parts of the Earth receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.
false
False - The ocean and the core of the Earth are liquids.
False. Earth is actually closest to the sun in early January, a position known as perihelion.
False. Usually the Moon passes north or south of Earth's shadow.
