The hypothalamus secretes corticotropin releasing hormone (crh) onto the anterior pituitary to stimulate secretion of

For Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis of endocrine gland secretion, follow the root "CORTI" (C). This will be a great memory tool. Also, nearly all hypothalamic hormones that stimulate anterior pituitary secretion have the word RELEASING (hence "R" in their acronyms). So if asked what secretes CRH, GnRH, TRH, or GHRH... the answer will be the Hypothalamus because of the R.
Now... back to CRH... we're following the "C" for CORTI. What other endocrine hormone has C for CORTI??
ACTH = Adreno[Corti]coTropic Hormone
Which will then stimulate secretion of [Corti]sol (a glucocorticoid), amongst others from the cortex of the adrenal gland. Notice the [Corti] follows the whole pathway from Hypothalamus to adrenal Cortex: Hypothal. (CRH) --> Ant. Pituit. (ACTH) --> Adrenal Cortex (Cortisol)
Sorry this was so long-winded, but I was hoping to help you grasp a portion of how the Endocrine System works!
Good luck and hmu should you have any further Anatomy/Physiology questions.

What is it called when the atmosphere absorbs things and it goes into the clouds?

I believe the answer you're looking for is:

Condensation- If the air cools, then water vapor molecules slow down and some can not remain a vapor. They cluster in the air to form tiny liquid droplets. This is called condensation. In clouds, the liquid droplets formed by condensation are small and light enough that they stay in the air.

hope this helps! :)

<h3>Answer;</h3>

D) The more dense oceanic plate subducts under the less dense continental plate. Subducted plate melts due to heat and friction. Melted plate, now magma, rises up to the surface.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Volcanoes may be formed at convergent plate boundaries or at divergent plate boundaries.
When two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Normally, one of the converging plates that is the dense oceanic plate will move beneath the other, which is the less dense continental plate a process as subduction.
The friction between the plates in the subduction zone as a result of constant movement, melts the Earth's crust causing the underneath rocks to turn into magma.

The magma creates great pressure and rises towards the surface of the earth, and on reaching the surface it is called lava, and a volcano is formed.
