Answer:

We fear flying in a plane, nuclear power plants or being struck by lightning more because our risk perception isn't rational. We assess risks using a mixture of cognitive skills (weighing the evidence, using reasoning and logic to reach conclusions) and emotional appraisals. In this case, we believe that overheating or lack of exercise is something we can control. We believe we can feel the process taking place and we can react in time. We fear all the situations that we cannot control.

Is rice pudding a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?
wel
<span>Rice pudding would be an example of a heterogeneous mixture. A heterogeneous mixture means that different constituents of a mixture can be identified. Rice pudding consists of rice suspended in a cream. It is possible to identify the grains of rice and the creamy part of the mixture. A homogeneous mixture looks the same throughout--you cannot identify individual parts or ingredients. The parts of a homogeneous mixture are said to be uniformly distributed. Rainwater and air are examples of homogeneous mixtures.</span>
