____________________________________________________

Answer:

Your answer would be C). A dry climate with little rainfall

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

The reason why answer choice "C). dry climate with little rainfall" would be the correct answer is because of air masses. The air masses pretty much goes to the western side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The slopes on the western side of the mountain is receiving rainfall, and a lot of it. This means that all of the rain can't pass over to the other side of the mountain due to the fact that there is a lot of rainfall that the clouds have, in which it would be difficult to bring it over to the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The eastern side would receive dry air due to the fact that the dry air is being released to the eastern side from the western side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. This would make the eastern side look different from the western side, and would make the eastern side more dryer, while getting little bits of rainfall.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

In the above-given question,

Option (B) is wrong with it's usage of the modifier "how'' in the sentence. If the modifier is used in one place (how heat from the inner core flows), it should also be used in the continuing clause (how the formation and periodic reversal).

Options (C) and (D) are wrong in using the word "are" for the whole sentence as there is no need to use this word. The verb form will depend on the subject, in this case, is "the discovery that earth's inner core" which is singular in nature. Thus, the verb form will be -is and not -are.

Option (E) is wrong for it's use of the comma. If the comma is used, then the whole sentence is not a full-fledged sentence but rather a dependent clause with no resolution.

The correct answer for the given passage is option (A).

Stells [14]

Acid Rain is the natural cause which causes volcanic eruptions and emissions from vegetation.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The volcanic eruption is a natural phenomenon that is caused due to the liberation of the lava from the heap of the earth along with the gases. The volcanic eruption results in causing major damages to the vegetation lying above the erupted crater of the volcano.  

This results in the immense release of gases such as “carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, methane and ammonia” and these gases are major pollutants of the air. When these gases react with water vapour that are present in the atmosphere, they condense in the form of acid rain.
