Hello. This question is about the article "Livestock-Handling Related Injuries and Deaths".
Answer:
"It is estimated that about 30 farmers are killed each year from contact with farm animals, primarily horses and cattle."
Explanation:
The above sentence is the one that best supports the claim that docile farm animals, such as cows and horses, injure many people each year. This is because the sentence shows a statistical data, carried out through a research survey, which proves the author's statement. This shows that handling these animals has a risk, even if they are seen as docile and peaceful, since they have strong physical strength and lack rationality.
Answer: B. Buoyancy
Explanation: The asthenosphere exerts a buoyant force that pushes up against the lithosphere, and this force resists gravity. The theory of isostasy refers to an equilibrium in buoyancy between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
Answer:
Compared to the valley, the ridge is relatively wet and cool.
Explanation:
The ridge is relatively wet and cool in comparison with the valley. Due to the mountains that surround the valley, the cool air does not enter the valley. This makes the valley hotter in contrast with the ridge. Also, it makes the ridge wet owing to the pressure and the low temperature that the air has.
Answer:
B) Regions such as Labrador are actually colder than England because colder Arctic water flows down to eastern North America and warm water from the equator flows to England
Explanation:
Even though Labrador and England are roughly on the same latitude, the climates in these two places are very different. The reason for this is the influence of the ocean currents on the climate. Labrador is influenced by dry and cold ocean currents, bringing in very cold weather conditions and harsh cold winds, thus not providing conditions for the growth of palm trees. On the other side of the Atlantic, England is influenced by warm and wet ocean current, the Gulf Stream. This brings in relatively small fluctuations in the temperature, with both the summer and the winter being mild and without extreme temperatures. Also, it brings in a lot of precipitation, so the palm trees manage to survive with only slight adaptations.
