C. Magma from venus mantle erupted as lava.
Explanation:
A volcano is a land form which results from the eruption of molten rocks (lava) on the surface. Volcanic rocks are a special type of igneous rock that forms when molten rock cools and solidifies on the surface.
For a planet like Venus which is presently not active and little to no movement occurs within the plates, the volcanisim must have occurred when the planet was relatively young and it must have been millions of years ago.
It is widely believed that Venus was geologically active in times past. Mantle generated lava must have solidified on the surface in times past to have formed the volcano.
Evaluating other options:
Impact of space objects on Venus would lead to the formation of a crater which is a depression on the surface. The rock would be mostly metamorphic.
If water was ever present in Venus, they would have produced sedimentary rocks instead. The erosive power of water is not high enough to cut through the crust. Also, water would not aid the formation of volcanoes.
Heat is not enough to from volcanoes. Other factors are also in play.
Answer:
C. The half-life of C-14 is about 40,000 years.
Explanation:
The only false statement from the options is that the half-life of C-14 is 40,000yrs.
The half-life of an isotope is the time it takes for half of a radioactive material to decay to half of its original amount. C-14 has an half-life of 5730yrs. This implies that during every 5730yrs, C-14 will reduce to half of its initial amount.
- All living organisms contain both stable C-12 and the unstable isotope of C-14
- The lower the C-14 compared to the C-12 ratio in an organism, the older it is.

it is b
Explanation:
A drainage basin is any area of land where precipitation collects and drains off into a common outlet, such as into a river, bay, or other body of water
Answer:
Over a vast amount of time, millions of years, the earth gradually cooled. When the temperature dropped enough, water vapor condensed and went from a gas to liquid form. This created clouds. From these clouds, the oceans formed and the oceans absorbed a lot of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Explanation:
The standard cell potential at 298 K is given by;
E°cathode - E°anode
Hence;
E°cell = 0.34 V - (-0.76 V)
E°cell = 0.34 V + 0.76 V
E°cell = 1.1 V
To reduce Zn^2+ to Zn then Zn must be the cathode, hence;
E°cell = (-0.76 V) - 0.34 V
E°cell = -1.1 V
