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).

Which statement contrasts viruses and bacteria?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Viruses can replicate inside cells, while bacteria release toxins to destroy cells.

Explanation:

Viruses and bacteria are both considered microorganisms that can be pathogens. Bacteria are singled celled organisms, where as viruses are non-cellular. Therefore, viruses are sometimes considered non-living, or "on the edge of life"

Viruses consist of (at the minimum) a genome surrounded by a protein coat. To replicate, they have to insert their genome into a host cell. This is another reason they are sometimes considered non living.

In contrast, bacteria can release toxins but do not replicate inside cells.

Therefore, the answer is viruses can replicate inside cells, while bacteria release toxins to destroy cells.

Yanka [14]
<span>The Global Surface Temperature is Rising

</span>NOAA states:<span>Many lines of scientific evidence show the Earth's climate is changing. This page presents the latest information from several independent measures of observed climate change that illustrate an overwhelmingly compelling story of a planet that is undergoing global warming. It is worth noting that increasing global temperature is only one element of observed global climate change. Precipitation patterns are also changing; storms and other extremes are changing as well.
