In 1883, the volcanic island of Krakatau in Indonesia erupted so violently that the eruption could be heard over 3,000 kilometer
s away. The eruption spewed massive amounts of ash and volcanic gases into the atmosphere. Which of the following was the most likely result of this volcanic eruption?
a) the reversing of Earth's magnetic poles
b) the formation of tsunamis for several months following the eruption
c) a mass extinction of plants and animals
d) a global drop in temperature for several months following the eruption
d) a global drop in temperature for several months following the eruption.
Explanation:
This is the most likely consequence of this volcanic eruption. We know that the volcano eruption spewed massive amounts of ash and volcanic gases into the atmosphere. These materials most likely blocked sunlight, which meant that the Earth could not receive as much energy as before. This most likely led to a drop in temperature for several months following the eruption.
A fertilized egg is called a zygote until it divides into 16 cells, forming a ball-shaped structure called a morula. ... In humans, it takes about four days for a zygote to become a morula and another three days until the embryo attaches itself to the mother's uterine wall.

The statistical study of populations and how they change over time is called demography. Two important measures of a population are population size, the number of individuals, and population density, the number of individuals per unit area or volume.
