<span>D. Warm water with low salt content. Usually, with any substance, the denser substance will descend while the less dense substance will rise. Regular water is less dense than salt water, and hot water is less dense than cold water.</span>

It is B, <span>In fact, water will sink as it cools until a certain point. If I recall correctly this is around 39 F. As the temp gets lower than that water actually begins to expand and becomes less dense. This is why ice floats, which we should all be thankful for. If ice didn't float than all water on earth would likely freeze solid and life would have probably never evolved past small single celled things.</span>

Alex swims at an average speed of 45 mi./min. how far does he swim in one minute 24 seconds
kompoz [17]

Answer: Alex Swims 63 mi in one minute 24 seconds

Explanation:

Alex swims 45 miles in 1 minute so what we need to find is the 24 seconds.

You'd take 2 divided by 5 which is the simplified fraction of 24 seconds over 60 seconds

Simplifying the fraction to a decimal gives you 0.4 then multiply it by 45 giving 18.

45+18=63 mi

Arrange these steps in hurricane formation in order from first to last
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

From first to last, step wise is given below-

Tropical disturbance < Topical depression < Tropical storm < Wind speed above 74 miles per hour

Explanation:

In order to form a hurricane, at first, the disturbances occur in the tropical region, which is characterized by the occurrence of heavy storm activity over a large area extending 100 miles, that exist for about 24 hours.

Then, with the more favorable conditions, the disturbances alter into stronger storms that spin forming a low-pressure center, and this condition refers to the tropical depression. The required amount of humidity is present in both the upper and lower portion of the atmosphere.

The pressure within the center of the tropical depression eventually gets down, and the air flows inward, thereby forming more stronger winds. With more decreasing pressure, the wind speed drastically increases.  Thus, the storm becomes stronger.

When the speed of the wind becomes 74 mph or exceeds, then this type of storm is called a hurricane.

How hove volcanoes played a role in the formation of land above or below the water?
cluponka [151]
Volcanoes play an important role in creating land since they are the sources of magma, which once above ground normally cools to create new land. In the ocean, this land normally forms at divergent and convergent boundaries or hot spots. At divergent boundaries (where two plates move apart), magma constantly erupts along a trench deep below the ocean's surface. This magma rarely piles upward and instead is pushed to both sides of the trench. This is how new seafloor forms. Convergent boundaries can create island arcs like Indonesia as magma erupts bit by bit. Hot spots occur in the middle of plates. They are instances where the mantle pierces through the crust and begins to erupt directly onto to seafloor. Over time, these eruptions will pile up and create underwater volcanoes until they potentially make it above sea level, thereby forming an island. This is how Hawaii was and continues to be formed.
