GACE Middle Grades Science Exam Questions With 100% Correct Answers Tidal hypothesis - answerTheory that the solar system started with a near collision of sun and large star. Few astronomers believe this theory. condensation hypothesis - answersolar system began with rotating clouds of dust and gas. Condensation happened in center to form sun, and smaller parts of clouds formed. More astronomers believe in this idea. Core - answerOuter core- liquid; inner core- solid. Very dense in center...

EES Exam 2 Questions and answers. Latest Update. Verified. Is all volcanic activity violent and explosive? - -No What is magma? - -Melted rock material How does magma vary? - -It varies in composition. Some can have more silica than others. Silica content - -Silica makes magma more viscous because silica tetrahedra link together. Gas content - -Different dissolved gases, such as H2O and CO2, can control how a volcano erupts. What is the difference between rhyolitic and basalt...
