Biology - Patterns in Nature
research task
1. Explain the difference between a prominence and a solar flare?
Prominence are huge loops of gas that connect different parts of sunspot regions. A solar flare is an explosion caused by hydrogen getting really hot, the gas shoots out into space causing a solar flare.
2. Use a diagram that describes what causes the aurora?
3. Diagram that demonstrats the annular eclipse?
4.Is 2500 a leap year?
NO
5. Compare the geocentric and the heliocentric models?
Geocentric - model that represents the planets, sun, moons revovling around the earth.
Heliocentric - model that represents planets including earth and moons revolve around the sun.
6. Classify the following supporters or opponents?
Copernicus - opponment
Ptolemy - supporter
Brabe - opponment
Kepler - supporter
Aristole - opponment
7. Why didn't scientist speak up in favour of the heliocentric model?
Scientist didn't speak up because when the heliocentric was brought up there was no direct evidence to prove that the planets and moon revovled around the sun.
8. Who is the astronomer who first used a telescope to find errors in the heliocentric model?
Galileo - Galileo Galilei was born on the 15 Feburary 1564 and past away on the 8 January 1642. Galileo was a physicist, mathimetician, astronomor and phylisopher, he played a major role in the scientific revolution. Galileo worked in applied science and technology. He made observational astronomy including the telescopic comfirmation of the phases of venus and discovered 4 of Jupiters largest satillites. In the late 1615 Galileo tried to defend his view of the geocentric model, which actually appeared to attack Urban VII which then spent the rest of his life under house arrest.
9. Explain the following phenomena.
Tides - The alternate rising and falling of the sea usally 2 in each lunar year at a particular place due to moon attraction.
Seasons - The cause of seasons is the earths tilt of
