<span>Overheating in electrical circuits is caused by too much electrical draw on the circuit. The increased flow of electricity through the circuit causes the temperature of the circuit to increase beyond it's design parameters. The increased heat can cause surrounding objects to catch fire as a result of the circuit sparking, exploding or burning.</span>

While many non-avian dinosaurs achieved gigantic sizes, the Sauropods were the true giants of the Mesozoic. in fact, the largest
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d. "a and b".

Explanation:

Plenty of methods had been developed to estimate the body size of dinosaurs such as the gigantic Sauropods. One of the first estimations that paleontologists used was the  Archimedes principle, consisting in dunking the entire skeleton of a Sauropod into a pool of water and measure the water displacement or more precisely small dinosaur models. However this method requires the preservation of almost the entire skeleton. A more used and useful method is to measure the length of the legs from the hip to the foot and using a 2/3's power relationship convert that to a mass. This method is more used since it only requires a couple of leg bones, which are often well preserved.

What is an example of a limiting factor that humans use to control the carrying capacity of an environment for a particular type
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

There are many things that can be considered as a limiting factor   such as water supply, competition, habitat space et cetera.

These factors affects the carrying capacity of the given environment. The human beings, animals uses food, space and water as their basic need.

These can affect the population of the organism if any of given components are presented in a limited amount.

The example of limiting factor that is human being to control the carrying capacity is food, space and water.

The pH of a solution containing 0.1 mM H+ is _______ ( 1mM = 10-3M)
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The pH of a solution containing 0.1 mM H+ is 4

Explanation:

The pH of any solution is given by the following mathematical equation -

pH = -log[H_{+}]\\----------- Equation (A)

Where,

H_{+} = the concentration of hydrogen ion in the solution.

Given

H_{+}

= 0.1mM\\=0.1 * 10^{-3}\\= 10^{-4}\\

Substituting the given value in equation (A) , we get -

pH = -log[10^{-4}]

= -(-4)\\= 4

Hence, The pH of a solution containing 0.1 mM H+ is 4
