Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a liquid, when an attractive force is exerted on the surface molecules by the inner molecules then there will be molecules in bulk on the surface of liquid. Due to this, the liquid acquires the shape having the least surface area. This is known as surface tension.

Whereas when a liquid rises  in the upward direction due to surface tension and resists any external force then this action is known as capillary action.

Thus, we can conclude that oil flows upward in the wick of a lantern because of the liquid property called capillarity.

Devise an experiment using a Landsat satellite and hypothesize<br> results.
guapka [62]

An experiment that involves using a Landsat satellite is given below;

Paddy lands detection through the use of Landsat-8 satellite images and object-based classification in  cape town, South Africa.

<h3>What is the experiment about?</h3>

Rice is known to be one of the most vital  food staples in a lot of countries, especially South Africa . Due to the irrigated rice production that tend to  differs from other kinds of  agricultural fields, this study was said to have created a paddy field mapping model via the use of  phenological aspects, a lot of  satellite sensor data, and also the use of object-based approach.

This study  uses the phonological features of rice plants and also the use of an annual data regarding surface temperature (LST) to make the paddy map.

The core remote sensing data is made up of the yearly LST that is obtained from MODIS and multi-temporal Landsat-8 satellite imagery.

Based on the study, the total  accuracy and kappa coefficient for the pixel-based classification method is seen to be  92% and 0.89.

Hence, An experiment that involves using a Landsat satellite is Paddy lands detection through the use of Landsat-8 satellite images and object-based classification in  cape town, South Africa.

When rockets split do they come back to earth?

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe what you mean is when they eject the old propulsion motors.  Yes, they land in the ocean and the US Navy retrieves them for later use.
