Option (C)

Explanation:

The magma in the hot-spot region are basaltic, they can move fast because of their low viscosity. Whereas, the magma present in the subduction zone are rhyolitic, and moves slowly due to its high viscosity. Viscosity of a magma is directly proportional to its silica content.

This is the difference between the volcanoes over a hot-spot region and over subduction zone.

Answer: Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

LenKa [72]

Answer: 3.125 ft

Explanation:

If this dish has the form of a concave upward parabola and its vertex $p$ is at the origin, its corresponding equation is:

$x^{2}=4py$

Where:

$x$ is the radius, which can be found by dividing the diameter $d=10 ft$ by half. Hence $x=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{10 ft}{2}=5 ft$

$y=2 ft$ is the depth

$p$ is the vertex of the parabola, where its base is

Finding $p$ :

$p=\frac{x^{2}}{4y}$

$p=\frac{(5 ft)^{2}}{4(2 ft)}$

Finally:

$p=3.125 ft$ This is where the the receiver should be placed
