text: The author uses descriptive evidence and examples to prove their point and to give us a visual in our head to show us what they means exactly. For example, the text states, ¨A thick atmosphere of almost 97 perecent carbon dioxide blankets Venus...Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus`s atmosphere.¨ The auhtor uses adjectives like thick and highly to show us exactly whats going on, to give us a visual in our heads. The text also states, ¨...such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals.¨ The auhtor is giving us an example to imagine and for us to fully understand just how dangerous this environment is. This shows that the author uses descriptive evidence to prove their point, as well as examples of just how dangerous the planet is.
