the inner planets are different from the outer planets mainly because they are

larger
colder
comprised of rock
comprised of gas

The statement is incorrect. The inner planets, also known as the terrestrial planets, are different from the outer planets, or gas giants, mainly because they are comprised of rock. They are smaller, warmer, and have solid surfaces, while the outer planets are larger, colder, and composed mostly of gases such as hydrogen and helium.

ronald observes a large island off the coast of Indonesia on a map. a few months later he observes that there are many smaller islands in place of the large one he had seen earlier. which of there could have caused this change

a tsunami
a mudslide
wind erosion
volcanic eruption

A volcanic eruption could have caused the change from a large island to many smaller islands. Volcanic activity can lead to the formation of new islands or the breaking up of existing ones, resulting in the creation of smaller islands. Tsunamis, mudslides, and wind erosion may cause changes to the shape or landscape of an island, but they are not typically associated with the transformation of a single large island into many smaller ones.

julia designed an experiment to find out if microwaving apple seeds keeps the seeds from sprouting first julia seperated 24 apple seeds into four groups. next she set aside the first group to use as a control. then she microwaved the second third and fourth groups for different amounts of time. if julias experiment showed that fewer seeds sprouted as microwave time increased, which table would best show her results

table a
table b
table c
table d

To determine which table would best show Julia's results, I would need to have access to the tables you mentioned. Could you please provide the content of each table so that I can assist you further?

which accurately describes earths position and orientation during summer in the northern hemisphere

earth is at its closest point to the sun
earths hemisphere receive equal amounts of solar energy
the north end of earths rotational axis leans towards the sun
the sun emits a greater amount of light and heat energy

The accurate description of Earth's position and orientation during summer in the Northern Hemisphere is that the north end of Earth's rotational axis leans towards the sun. This results in the Northern Hemisphere receiving more direct sunlight, which leads to warmer temperatures and longer days. This phenomenon is known as the summer solstice. The other options mentioned in the statement are not accurate.

on a summer day, thomas is standing in his driveway waiting for his mother. energy from the sun is making thomas feel hot. this energy is being transmitted by three different methods. which of the following is an example of convection

energy streaming through space towards thomas
heat being transferred from air particles to the asphalt
heat moving through thomas's clothes to warm his skin
warm air rising from just above the asphalt to reach the level of thomas's face

The example that best represents convection is warm air rising from just above the asphalt to reach the level of Thomas's face. Convection involves the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids or gases. In this case, the warm air is rising due to its lower density and transporting heat from the asphalt to reach Thomas's face.
