Answer 2

Answer:

• 1. B. Both observation 1 and observation 2
• 2. A. 80°
• 3. B. Both X and Z

Explanation:

• As the geocentric model is based on the property of the geocentrism and its examples from that of the Ptolemy model of the system of the suspended particles that describes the earth and the sea and earth forms centered disk around which very thing rotates around the earth.

• The smallest area over which the sunlight will fall is the 80 degrees and the area lies in the polar zones and is characterized by the low angle and the obliquity of the sun rays ad thus the this area as due to the angle of the inclination of the rays of the sun will get least as compared to that of the 65 and the 40 degrees into mid-latitudes.

• The places that are located near or to the eastern side will experience the low tides and those on the western sides will also experience the low tides as the effects of the sun and the moon that tends to cancel out the tides that is they will remains about the 1.5 ft due to the full and the new moon.
