Answer:

C). Corundum

Explanation:

Corundum is a crystalline type of aluminum oxide that usually contains iron, titanium, vanadium and chromium traces. Corundum is an incredibly durable and hard material. It is the third hardest mineral, after moissanite and diamond.

A geologist determine that a sample of a mineral can’t be scratched by a steel naill but can be scratched by a Masonary drill bit. Based on this information, the sample mineral has to be softer than CORUNDUM.

Due to Corundum's hardness , it can scratch almost every other mineral, and Since corundum is harder than the drill bit of masonry that can smash the mineral sample and thus the mineral sample must be softer than corundum.

The headlines below were taken from newspapers following natural disasters.
Elan Coil [88]
I believe the answer is C. This is because all three headlines include information about transportation systems (first one with air delays, second with road closures and third with roads being reopened) being effected by natural disasters.

Here are why the other ones are incorrect:

A. In headline 2 with Arizona, it states how wildfires caused road closures around the state and not the area of the wildfire (headline 1 also disproves this answer, since it says “Worst delays since 9/11”, meaning it effected a lot more than the nearby area).

B. None of these are predicting natural disasters occurred, as seen by some of the language: “Arizona Fires FORCE road closures” (present tense, not past).

D. These do not mention anything about railroads being immune, so it can’t be it.

What are the characteristics of a tropical rainforest biome pls help
mars1129 [50]

Answer: Tropical rainforests are very hot and wet places. They have over 2,000 mm of rainfall a year. The climate is very consistent and there are no seasons. There is a very thin layer of fertile soil at the surface where leaves decompose and plants have adapted to this by growing roots really close to the surface.
