B, radon is correct. Interestingly, it often collects in basements from radioactive decay of rocks such as granite that contain uranium. Because it is an unreactive noble gas and because it is denser than air it sits in basements and must be pumped out. It collects in human lungs and is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking.

What is true about all plutons? They form near Earth’s surface. They form below Earth’s surface. They cut across other rock laye
pishuonlain [190]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is that they are formed below Earth's surface.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Plutons are defined as the intrusive igneous rocks named as plutonic rocks which are formed when the magma gets cools down slowly and solidifies below the Earth's surface.

It is different from volcanic rocks which are formed when lava gets cools down and solidifies on the Earth's surface.

Hence, the correct answer is that they are formed below Earth's surface.

I think because students get confused or forget which elements are diatomic
A decomposition usually is simple and straight forward but many students just don't know which elements should be diatomic and which shouldn't.
