Answer:

The correct option is: c. contraction and tension during cooling of the flow                              

Explanation:

Columnar jointing is a geological structure that is formed in igneous rocks by <u>the cooling and contraction of the rocks and can also be formed in the cooling lava flows.</u> In this process, the columns or the polygonal prisms are formed by the intersecting, closely-spaced fractures called joints.  

The columns formed can be straight or curved and 3 - 30 meters tall.

Early radio broadcasts were emitted about a century ago. where are these broadcasts now, having traveled at the speed of light?
Vlad [161]
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves and as such travel at the speed of light. Waves emitted a century ago would be 100 hundred light years away. A light year is the distance light travels in one year. In one year light travels about 5.9 trillion miles. therefore the waves traveled about 590 trillion miles in a century.

Find the value of x in the following:3(2x-1) =5(3x-15)​
elena55 [62]
<h3><u>Given</u>;</h3>

Find the value of x in the following:3(2x-1) =5(3x-15)

<h3><u>Solution</u>;</h3>
  • Simplify both sides of the equation. Then subtract 15x and add 3 on both sides. Lastly, divide both sides with –9 to determine the answer.

\\  \sf = 3(2x-1) =5(3x-15)

=  \sf(3)(2x)+(3)(−1)=(5)(3x)+(5)(−15)

=  \sf6x+−3=15x+−75

=  \sf6x−3=15x−75

=  \sf6x−3− \blue1 \blue5 \blue x=15x−75 -  \blue1 \blue5 \blue x

=  \sf−9x−3=−75

=  \sf−9x−3+ \red3=−75+ \red3

=  \sf - 9x =  - 72

=  \sf \frac{ - 9x}{9}  =  \frac{ - 72}{ - 9}  \\

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

<h2>=  \sf \:  \green x \green= \green 8 \\  \\</h2>
