Answer:

When the crust bearing the volcano moves away from the plume, the volcano becomes extinct

Explanation:

A plume is a warm rock cresting column that arises deep within the mantle, potentially just over the limit of the core mantle. Plume are believed to increase at about 10 times the pace of convection of the mantle. The volcano is active when it is directly above the plume. When the crust bearing the volcano moves away from the plume, the volcano becomes extinct. But the volcanic cone's composition continues.

aleksandrvk [35]

The North Star appeared to move higher in the sky.

Answer: Option 3

<u>Explanation:</u>

North star is a special star found in the sky which is said to be fixed in the sky and does not move from it's place and the reason for this is that this star is very near to the axis of the planet Earth and is the only star that does not change it's position in relation to the rotation of earth. So since Albany is to the north of the New York city, the star will appear to move higher towards the north in the sky.
