By 2009, American car manufacturers were required to meet minimum fuel efficiency standards that increased the average miles per

gallon to 27.5. By 2016, that standard will increase to 39 mpg. What effect will this have?
A. increased air pollution
B. decreased fuel efficiency
C. increased water pollution
D. decreased energy consumption

The correct answer is D. decreased energy consumption. 
This measure is implemented for few reasons:
1. The fossil fuels are expendable, so they have to be managed carefully.
2. The economic power of the people will benefit.
3. Decreasing the pollution.
4. Dependence on fossil fuels, thus giving more time and space for developing alternative fuels, like the algae fuel for example...

<span>It should be D. 39mpg vs 27,5 mpg means that cars can travel more distance with the same amount of fuel. That means increased fuel efficiency or decreased energy consumption, which is the same</span> and this will meet the minimum fuel efficiency standards which increases the average miles.

C 3) Our knowledge of the earth's interior has been gained mainly by: a) drilling deep exploration wells b) excavating deep mine
Digiron [165]

Answer:

c) studying the behavior of seismic waves

Explanation:

The Earth's interior is formed by several layers: the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is accessible and scientists can experiment directly on it to determine its composition, for more distant layers scientists, rely on the analysis of seismic waves and gravity, as well as magnetic studies.

Since it is impossible to drill to the center of the Earth, scientists use seismic waves and how they travel during and after an earthquake as a tool to understand the earth's interior composition, they measure the time it takes for waves to get to the seismometer and their direction.

<em>Considering this information we can conclude that the correct answer is c) studying the behavior of seismic waves.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

The Major Rock ClassesIgneous Rocks1.Briefly explain the difference between intrusive and extrusive rocks (cools slowly/quickly,
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Intrusive igneous rocks are formed below the earth surface at more dense pressure than extrusive igneous rocks. Since they from.below the surface, the magma cools slowly, giving the grains more time to form, this way, intrusive igneous rocks form large crystals that are coarse grained.

On the other hand, extrusive igneous rocks form at the surface, in this less dense and extremely low temperature environment, they cool rapidly producing small grain, fine textured rocks.

2.) These differences are related to where the rocks cool and solidify. In general terms, intrusive rocks cools slowly Hence forming large grained coarse textured rocks while Extrusive cools more rapidly forming small grained fine textured rocks.

Igneous processes involves the series of operations which leads to the formation of igneous rock which include the the process at which hot magma deep beneath the earth (high temperature and pressure) find its way to regions of lower temperature to form intrusive or the surface of the earth to form extrusive igneous rocks. As magma finds its way up mineral formation goes on with high temperature mineral and low temperature minerals forming at different depths.

The dominant factor which determines the grain size of igneous rock formed is the rate of cooling. When the igneous rock cools rapidly, fine grained rock size is produced, similarly when magma has enough time to cool and this cool slowly, coarse and large grained crystals are formed.
