only one said of the moon faces earth because

a, the moon does not rotate

b. the moon does not revolve

c. the moon rotates at the same rate it revolves

d. the moon rotates twice as fast as it revolves

Answer 1

1.b

2. not sure think b

3.a

4.a. winds create the most currents, like the jet stream, which causes the atlantic ocean to rotate.

5.c

Dude...... You don't think the moon rotates?

LOL!!

Answer 2

1, b

2, b

3, b

4, a

5, c

4 is a.... surface currents are caused by wind... temperature causes internal currents... thermocline... pycnocline... THC... etc.

3 is b.... submarine canyons are located off continental shelves in areas where there is lots of sediment inputs....

coral atolls are remnants of eroded surfaces, that are usually found near hot spots... volcanoes...

Answer 3

B

Not Sure but B sounds about right

D

C Temp differences between the equator and the poles. Warm Water rides atop to the Pole (Gulf Stream) Cold water descends and transits toward the equator.  Wind drives waves, convection drives current, and the correlous effect drives direction of the current (as does ocean bottom features that restrict the current, i,e the Gulf Stream follows the N American Shelf until Cape Hatterous before it is no longer influenced by the Continentel Shelf and Rise)

C 1 rotation per revolution will keep the same side facing toward the center of its orbit.
