Which of the following statements regarding insolation is correct? (There is more than one possible answer.) Insolation is strongest near the equator and weakest near the poles. At the Tropic of Capricorn, the sun's zenith is at 90 degrees around December 21. Daily insolation depends on the angle of the sun in the sky and for how many hours. D In Orlando, the sun's zenith is never at 90-degrees. Areas north of the Arctic Circle receive 24 hours of daylight during the summer solstice, but at a very low angle.

When a rock is altered by extreme heat and pressure, what type of rock is the result? igneous metamorphic sedimentary clastic
Which statement BEST describes how glaciers change Earth's surface? The force of strong winds causes melting ice from a glacier to form canyons. Glaciers move slowly over the land, weathering and eroding rock layers to form valleys. The continual melting and freezing of the water in glaciers forms large deltas.
