In the Star Wars universe, the planet of Naboo has a high rugged mountain range, the Gallo Mountains, shown in the image below. As is standard in maps “North” is at the top of the image. The water visible at the bottom of the image is part of a large ocean. We are going to apply the principles of position and time symmetry and assume that plate tectonics works the same on Earth and Naboo even though it is a long time ago in a galaxy far far way. The next two questions ask you to use your understanding of geologic processes to explain how such mountains would form. Image Description Ocean extends along the bottom of the picture. Swamp is near the ocean between the ocean and the Gallo Mountains. Gallo Mountains extend from right to left across the image. Above the mountains are planes and more swamp.

This graph shows variations in temperature over the last 400 thousand years. Image Description Graph of temperature difference versus thousands of years ago. At the start of the graph, the temperature difference line begins at 0 and drops to a negative 9 difference before gradually increasing until it peaks at 5 degrees around 120 thousand years before dropping back down to a negative 9 difference and gradually increasing until it peaks at 240 thousand years. This trend of dropping and increasing continues, with two more peaks seen at 320 thousand years and 410 thousand years. Based on the natural cycles found in the graph, how far in the future will the temperature once again be as warm as it is now?

If an atom’s 2p orbitals are full, how many electrons does it have in those 2p orbitals? Be careful. The question asks how many 2p electrons the atom has, not how many TOTAL electrons the atom has.
