Whether the impact craters which have been identified on Venus is fewer or more than on Mercury and Earth.
Introduction:
Mars is a planet that is more similar to Earth, and the atmosphere of this planet is thin. Mars also has polar ice caps and seasons. The size of the Earth and Venus is mostly similar, and they are also similar because of their density, mass, and location in the solar system.

Drawing a Topographic Profile
Follow the steps illustrated in Figure 7.13 to draw a topographic profile.
Use the profile graph in Figure 7.14 to construct a west-east profile along the line A-A' on the contour map you completed in Figure 7.12.
Step 1. Our sample profile will be along line A-A. When constructing profiles on maps provided by your instructor, do not draw on the map.
Step 2. Lay a piece of paper along the line of the profile you want to construct. In this example this is line A-A'. Mark each place where a contour line intersects the edge of the paper and note the elevation of the contour line.
Step 3. On a separate piece of paper, draw a horizontal line slightly longer than your profile line, A-A'. Select a vertical scale for your profile that begins slightly. below the lowest elevation along the profile and extends slightly beyond the highest elevation. Mark this scale on either side of the horizontal line. Lay the marked paper edge (from Step 2) along the horizontal…
When contour lines cross streams or dry stream channels, they form a V that points upstream. Draw arrows next to three of the streams (shown in blue) to indicate the direction in which each is flowing.
Coal-burning electric power plants in the Pa Midwest have contributed to acid rain in the eastern United States. Other energy sources would most likely be costlier than coal, thereby raising electricity rates. Should citizens in eastern states be able to pressure utility companies in the Midwest to change their method of generating electricity? What mechanisms might be available to make these changes? How effective are these mechanisms?
