The three types of volcanic mountains include composite volcanoes, cinder cones and shield volcanoes.

When compared in terms of shape, composite volcanoes are mostly tall and symmetrically cone–shaped, cinder cones are short circular shaped cone while shield volcanoes are low with mild sloping sides.

When compared in terms of eruption, the eruption from composite volcanoes is a pyroclastic flow (a mixture of hot steam, ash, rock and dust) that occurs at very high speeds with temperatures of over 400°C, the eruption from cinder volcanoes is violently blown lava while the eruption from shield volcanoes is frequent gentle, thin, runny lava.

When compared in terms of material makeup, the materials that make up composite volcanoes are alternating layers of lava and ash, while the material that makes up both cinder volcanoes and shield volcanoes is lava.

A big division in sociology is between the positivists who strive to describe human populations in scientific terms, and interpr
Karolina [17]
I believe that the research observations about the sexual behaviour of a group of high-schoolers can be seen as characteristic of an interpretive methodology.
The scientific methods of an interpretive sociologist include unstructured interviews, observation and analyses of the participants' behaviour and inclusion of personal documents. On the other hand, the positivist methodology includes social surveys, formal questionnaires and official and reliable statistical analysis. Positivist research needs to be reliable, accurate and representative. In this case, the sexual behaviour of this group is analyzed based on the interpretive methodology, without social surveys and questionnaires that represent the entire adolescent population. The focus of the research is on a small group and the results cannot be taken as representative, reliable and applicable to a bigger population.

Which of the following statements is not true?
earnstyle [38]

Answer: The impact of domestic IT outsourcing has been very disruptive to some regional areas of the United States.

Explanation: Outsourcing is an agreement in which one company hires another company to be responsible for an existing activity that is done internally and sometimes involves transferring employees and assets from one firm to another.

It involves the contracting of a business process to an external firm (e.g. payroll processing) operational and other functions such as manufacturing, facility management, call center/call centre support.

Outsourcing can offer greater budget flexibility and control by allowing organizations to pay for the services and business functions they need, when they need them. It also reduces the need to hire and train specialized staff, makes available specialized expertise, and can reduce capital, operating expenses and risk.
