← ScienceWhich consequence results when the Earth's mass instantaneously doubled?
A)Increased orbital velocity of the Moon✓
B)Decreased global average atmospheric pressure
C)Stabilized tectonic plates indefinitely
D)Maintained consistent solar insolation levels
💡 Explanation
Dramatic Earth mass increase boosts gravity. Increased gravitation requires a higher 'escape' velocity on the Moon. Because the Moon maintains stable orbit utilizing mass-energy equivalence, gravity increases angular velocity therefore resulting in closer orbit, rather than causing the moon escape trajectory or any of the other options.
