Answer:

The correct answer is option C, that is, oceanic crust.

Explanation:

Of the mentioned options oceanic crust is the thinnest. The topmost layer of the oceanic part of a tectonic plate is known as the oceanic crust. In comparison, continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust. However, continental crust is thicker in comparison to the oceanic crust that exhibits an average thickness of about 7 to 10 kilometers. Approximately 40 percent of the surface of the Earth is occupied by continental crust.

1.how is the sound of thunder created?
Naddik [55]
1. Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion of the air surrounding the path of a lightning bolt. ... From the clouds to a nearby tree or roof, a lightning bolt takes only a few thousandths of a second to split through the air. The loud thunder that follows the lightning bolt is commonly said to come from the bolt itself.
2. thunderstorms mostly occur in rainforests. Some of the most powerful thunderstorms happen in the United States of America.

3. Cumulonimbus is a dense, towering vertical cloud, forming from water vapor carried by powerful upward air currents. If observed during a storm, these clouds may be referred to as thunderheads. Cumulonimbus can form alone, in clusters, or along cold front squall lines.

4. The air cools as it rises. Water vapor condenses and forms cumulus clouds. When condensation occurs, heat (latent heat/energy ) is released and helps the thunderstorm grow. At some point, condensation high in the cloud (now in the form of water droplets and ice) falls to the ground as rain.

The students concluded that pea plants grew better in compost than did melon plants. Which of the following best addresses the v
musickatia [10]

Answer:

c. The conclusion is invalid because other variables in the experiment affected the results.

Explanation:

Consider the complete problem:

A group of students designed an experiment to determine the effect of compost on the germination and growth of plants.

The students set up experimental plots by mixing different ratios of soil and compost. They planted 20 pea and 20 melon

seeds in each plot and watered each plot regularly. The students recorded the number of seeds that germinated, and as the

plants grew they recorded the plant length, number and size of leaves, and general health observations.

The following observations were recorded.

 In all treatments, more pea seeds germinated than melon seeds

 There was a week of rainy weather at 3 weeks

 Melon plants developed a fungal growth at four weeks

 Melon plants grew longer than pea plants, but many melon leaves showed signs of yellowing as the weeks passed

The students concluded that pea plants grew better in compost than did melon plants. Which of the following best

addresses the validity of the conclusion made by the students?

a. The conclusion is valid because the independent and dependent variables in the experiment were controlled.

b. The conclusion is valid because the experimental design included a large sample size.

c. The conclusion is invalid because other variables in the experiment affected the results.

d. The conclusion is invalid because the units of measurement were not given in the experimental design.

<em>In order for the conclusion to be valid, all the independent variables should have been controlled. In this case, the independent variables such as the amount of water received by the plants, nutrient requirement of the plants, etc. were not controlled leading to fungal attack on the melon plant.</em>

<em>Hence, the conclusion is invalid because other variables that ought to have been controlled affected the experimental outcome.</em>

<em>The correct option is c.</em>

The compound light microscope is most useful for viewing
pychu [463]

The correct answer is detailed structure inside the cell.

The main feature of compound light microscope is the light source which helps to see the objects more clearly. This microscope is usually used to see the detailed structure inside the cell. The cell organelles are clearly visible that are very minute in size and cannot be seen through naked eyes. This allows us to study the features of the cell more accurately and precisely.

Im so sorry if im asking alot of questions but i dont know anything so can someone help me ?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The homogeneous mixture is only in the one phase of matter, whereas heterogeneous mixture is always in two or more than two different phases of matter. Solutions are termed as the homogeneous mixtures, on the other hand, suspensions or colloids are termed as the heterogeneous mixtures.

Examples:

Homogeneous:

Bronze: this alloy is an example of homogeneous substances since it is composed of tin and copper.

Milk : this mixture that we see in a uniform way is composed of substances such as water and fats.

Heterogeneous:

Mixtures in two or more phases are heterogeneous mixtures. Examples include ice cubes in a drink, sand and water, and salt and oil. The liquid that is immiscible form heterogeneous mixtures. A good example is a mixture of oil and water.
