Interactions among galaxies also are thought to influence a galaxy's type in at least some cases. Which of the following does not support the idea that interactions can shape galaxies? A) computer modeling of collisions between galaxiesB) the presence of features, such as "tails" extending out of galaxies, bridges between galaxies, and rings of stars around galaxiesC) the fact that galaxies with distorted appearances are more common at great distances than nearbyD) the fact that more distant galaxies have larger redshifts

Niko Reilly · Answer 1

D) the fact that more distant galaxies have larger redshifts

Explanation:

It is believed that the type of galaxies is dependent on the interactions among all galaxies. The redshift is used to describe a phenomenon whereby there is an increase in the wavelength of light from a body. This normally occurs when two or more bodies in space move closer or apart. It is not true that galaxies that are farther way or apart have larger redshifts.
