I'm pretty sure it's high density as a solid.

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is defined as the pressure that is in contact with its liquid or solid form.

Whereas boiling point is defined as the temperature at which vapor pressure of a liquid becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.

When a substance has high boiling point then it means there will be less formation of vapors. Hence, it will have low vapor pressure.

For example, boiling point of water is 100 degree celsius and it is a high temperature. Therefore, vapor pressure of water is low.

This means that at 100 degree celsius or below 100 degree celsius water exists in liquid state.

Hence, it is able to allow large bodies of liquid to exist on Earth.

Whereas when water is present in solid state that is, ice then due to less density of ice it has the ability to float of liquid water.

Also, heat capacity of water is 4.18 $J/K ^{o}C$ which is also high.

Thus, we can conclude that low vapor pressure is the property of water allows large bodies of liquid water to exist on Earth.

Pls help!!!

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Try this.

Explanation:

I'm not too sure because the teacher never gave me enough information (Need Bigger Graph). Get bigger graph paper as it says "The X-axis should be years and the Y-axis should be coal production." On the X-axis (Horizontal Line) write "Years" and on the Y-Axis (Vertical Line) write "Coal Production."

Now, your gonna start listing all the years on the X-Axis 1996 through 2011, And on the Y-Axis list all the coal productions 145 and all the numbers through 634. Make sure you have the regions, Appalachian, Interior and Western.

I'm sorry if this didn't help, this is what I did and it helped me, I thought it might help you too.

Answer:

2c. Jamestown Settlement and the "Starving Time"

Explanation:

The first joint-stock company to launch a lasting venture to the New World was the VIRGINIA COMPANY OF LONDON. The investors had one goal in mind: gold. They hoped to repeat the success of Spaniards who found gold in South America.

In 1607, 144 English men and boys established the JAMESTOWN colony, named after King James I.

The colonists were told that if they did not generate any wealth, financial support for their efforts would end. Many of the men spent their days vainly searching for gold.

As a consequence, the colonists spent little time farming. Food supplies dwindled. MALARIA and the harsh winter besieged the colonists, as well. After the first year, only 38 of the original 144 had survived.
