Transcript text: Suppose that aliens have launched a space probe towards Earth to investigate our planet. Place the images of Earth's features in the order the space probe will encounter them as it journeys from outer space to Earth's surface.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the images
Examine the four images provided to understand what each one represents in terms of Earth's features.
Step 2: Determine the order of encounter
Determine the sequence in which a space probe would encounter these features as it travels from outer space towards Earth's surface.
Step 3: Arrange the images
Arrange the images in the correct order based on the sequence determined in Step 2.
Final Answer
Image of Earth from outer space (farthest view)
Image of Earth's atmosphere
Image of Earth's surface (land and water)
Image of a specific feature on Earth's surface (e.g., a city or landscape)
