Answer 1

Based on what we know about asteroids, the correct statements are that there are some asteroids found in Jupiter's orbit, Kirkwood's gaps are caused by Jupiter, all asteroids come from the belt between Mars and Jupiter, most asteroids show no evidence of geological activity, and most asteroids have been broken by impacts.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. a. There are some asteroids found in Jupiter's orbit.
2. b. Kirkwood's gaps are caused by Jupiter.
3. d. All asteroids come from the belt between Mars and Jupiter.
4. f. Most asteroids show no evidence of geological activity.
5. g. Most asteroids have been broken by impacts.

Incorrect statements:

1. c. The asteroid belt is a planet that was pulled apart by tidal forces from Jupiter.
2. e. Most asteroids are spherical.

Based on the information provided, it is incorrect to say that there are asteroids in Jupiter's orbit or that Kirkwood's gaps are caused by Jupiter. The correct statement is that the majority of known asteroids come from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Most asteroids show no evidence of geological activity and have been broken by impacts. However, it is incorrect to say that most asteroids are spherical or that the asteroid belt is a planet pulled apart by tidal forces from Jupiter.
