Radius of earth as given in question = 6400 km
Height of the air balloon = 200 m
                                       = 0.20 km
Now
Let us assume the distance up to which one can see from the balloon = d
Then
d=sqrt [<span><span><span>(R+h<span>)2</span>−<span>R2] 
</span></span></span>  = sqrt [</span><span><span>2Rh+<span>h^2]
  = sqrt [2 (6400 * 0.20) + (0.20)^2]
  = sqrt [(2 * 1280) + 0.04]
  = sqrt [ 2560 + 0.04]
  = sqrt [2560.04]
  = 50.6 km
A person in the balloon can see up to a distance of 50.6 km. I hope the answer has helped you.</span></span></span>

Igneous rocks formed on or near Earth’s surface<br><br> A) extrusive<br> B) Intrusive<br> C) lava
bulgar [2K]

The correct answer is - A) extrusive.

The extrusive igneous rocks, and the type of igneous rocks that are forming on the surface or very close to the surface. This type of igneous rocks are forming very quickly because the magma is cooling down very quickly, thus giving them some specific characteristics.

These types of rocks can be easily distinguished from the intrusive rocks, the extrusive ones, because of the quick formation, have very small crystals, almost unnoticeable, while the intrusive ones, because they have much bigger period of formation, have nicely formed, easily noticeable, big crystals.
