Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

Geysers are distinctive geological features that are formed in the region, where the water below the surface of the earth is heated due to the high temperature or the heat energy radiated into the surface of the earth from the core. These are known as geothermal energy. This heats the water so much that it exceeds the surface boiling temperature and eventually rises up towards the surface.

These are areas of volcanisms that lead to the eruption of hot water forming steams, through the vents.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Oliga [24]

The explanation that best explains why the seeds did not produce a tree would be “The oak grows in Ohio, which is a temperate forest biome. Tucson is a desert biome. Therefore the oak seed could not cope with the changed climate and did not grow.” I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Why is there low biodiversity of animals in grasslands?
VladimirAG [237]
The importance of biodiversity has been recognized by people of many cultures and backgrounds who understand the multitude of functions it serves for humans, from providing food to filtering waste. Threats to biodiversity include direct killing of species by hunting, contaminating the environment with toxins, and habitat loss<span> . The loss of biodiversity through extinction must ultimately be overcome by drastic changes of human behavior. Otherwise, humans will destroy the very environment that supports them.
