The correct answer is B. Seamount, guyot, atoll.
The seamount represents an underwater mountain that occurs as consequence of volcanic activity, occasionally they get above the surface of the water and create islands (Hawaii, Iceland). After some time, the erosion cause the island to dissolve and get back under water, the water will flatten it's top, and that is actually the formation of the guyot. Once the guyot is formed, on it's top a coral colony will start developing and little by little make a circle shaped island, which represents the formation of the atoll.

What is essential for a confederation?

user100 [1]

Answer:

smaller political units maintaining their sovereignty

Explanation:

Confederation is the name given to a country that is a federation, but the states that make up that country maintain their sovereignty, separate from the power of the federal government. In this case, to maintain a confederation it is essential that the smaller political units, the states, maintain their sovereignty. This is different from a federation, because in a federation, states lose sovereignty, transferring it to the federal government.

The radius of the cone id 1.75 inches an the height id 3.5 inches. If the diameter of the bubble gum ball is 0.5 inches what is

Olegator [25]

Answer: $11.15 in^{3}$

Explanation:

We need to know the volume of the cone that can be filled with bubble gum ball, but firstly we need to calculate the volume of the cone $V_{C}$ and the volume of the buble gum ball (a sphere) $V_{B}$ :

<u>Volume of the cone:</u>

$V_{C}=\frac{\pi R^{2}h}{3}$ (1)

Where:

$R=1.75 in$ is the radius of the cone

$h=3.5 in$ is the height of the cone

$V_{C}=\frac{\pi (1.75 in)^{2}3.5 in}{3}$ (2)

$V_{C}=11.22 in^{3}$ (3) This is the volume of the cone

<u>Volume of the gum ball:</u>

$V_{B}=\frac{4\pi r^{3}}{3}$ (4)

Where:

$r=\frac{0.5 in}{2}=0.25 in$ is the radius of the sphere (half the diameter)

$V_{B}=\frac{4\pi (0.25 in)^{3}}{3}$ (5)

$V_{B}=0.065 in^{3}$ (6) This is the volume of the gum ball

Know we are able to find the closest approximation of the volume of the cone that can be filled with bubble gum ball, by calculating the difference or substracting (6) from (3):

$V_{C}-V_{B}=11.22 in^{3}-0.065 in^{3}$ (7)

Finally:

$V_{C}-V_{B}=11.15 in^{3}$ (8)

Define atmospheric wind shear, and explain how the existence of wind shear creates eddies and air pockets that cause atmospheric

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Wind Shear is the difference in direction and speed of the wind in the atmosphere within a specific distance.

Explanation:

Eddies are generated when winds goes over a mountain creating vertical shear on the side that is sheltered from it, that creates air pockets causing atmospheric turbulence know as "rotors".

The change of direction and wind speed with altitude variation is called Vertical wind shear.

The change in wind speed together with a change in lateral position at a certain altitude is called Horizontal wind shear.

One scenario is a mountain with down-bursts and micro-bursts creating ice crystal plumes clouds that could warn pilots of wind shear, allowing then to avoid accidents.
