If Earth’s axis were not tilted at 23.5°, what major seasonal change would not occur, and why?
Seasons would not occur because the tilt of Earth’s axis causes different parts of Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.

Seven - same as humans just much longer
If Earth suddenly began rotating much more slowly, taking 48 hours to complete one rotation instead of 24 hours, how would this most likely affect daily temperature changes?
Days would be hotter and nights would be colder because each side of Earth would experience longer periods of sunlight and longer periods without sunlight.

Sedimentary Rock
According to Newton's law, if a force increases and the mass stays the same, what happens?
the acceleration increases

Two brown-eyed parents have a blue-eyed child. Brown eyes (B) are dominant and blue eyes (b) are recessive.
What must be true about the parents’ genotypes, and what is the probability their next child will also have blue eyes?
Both parents must be heterozygous (Bb).
There is a 25% chance their next child will have blue eyes (bb).
A fossil of a tropical plant is found in Antarctica. What does this evidence suggest about Earth’s past climate and continental movement?
Antarctica was once warmer and/or located closer to the equator, supporting the theory of continental drift/plate tectonics.
