Which statement explains how weight is different from mass? a. mass is a varying property b. mass is measured in newtons c. weight is always greater than mass d. weight is a measure of gravitational pull

Option (D) is the correct answer.

The amount of matter consists in the body or an object is said to be mass. Mass of the body is fixed, it doesn't change due to the change in position or place.

Weight is defined as the measure of force which is exerted on the body or an object by gravity. Weight of an object is not fixed, change in weight occurs due to the change in position or place.

A: Statement is not true as mass of the body is fixed. Thus, this statement doesn't give any difference between mass and weight.

B: Newton is the unit of force. A body of 1 kg mass has weight 9.81 Newton (approx) on the surface of the earth.

C: Weight depends upon the gravity implies location with less gravity will also has less weight with fixed mass.

D: According to the definition of weight, weight can measure the gravitational pull but mass can't. Thus, this statement creates comparison between mass and weight.

The answer is option (D

d. temperate deciduous forest

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
