Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

The metamorphic rocks are formed directly from the previously existing rocks of all the three kinds such as sedimentary, igneous and other metamorphic rocks. This type of rock is primarily found in the convergent plate boundaries where the rocks are subjected to extreme pressure and temperature condition, resulting in the increasing grade of metamorphism, which is known as the prograde metamorphism. The rocks alters and give rise to the formation of metamorphic rocks, such as slate, phyllite, schist and gneiss.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Evaluate the impact of global warming on the frequency of tropical cyclones
LekaFEV [45]
Climate change can worsen the intensity of tropical storms (such as hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones) in several ways, including by making record rainfall more likely and by causing sea levels to rise, which can raise the risk of storm surges.

Sati [7]
There are some important parameters in such situations that need to be investigated. Things such as the speed of the phenomenon, the risks associated with it and the affected communities/sites are important.

A) The first choice regards the speed of the rising as well as the inherent risk in that, so it is TRUE.
B) The second choice is rather irrelevant to the problem of flooding; the temperature of the water is a parameter that does not affect the flooding, the risk etc. So it is FALSE.
C) Tourism is an important consideration but the first consideration should be the health of people and inquiring about tourism does not help avoid a natural disaster. So it is FALSE.
D) The rate of the rise is important to know for future planning and in order to help with current models. So it is TRUE.
E) The affected towns are an important parameter in minimizing the impact of a natural disaster and hence it is helpful. So it is TRUE.

Question 19 How does the density of Pluto compare to the density of the terrestrial planets?
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The terrestrial planets are the inner planets that lie within the Asteroid belt. They have high densities compared to the Jovian planets and they are relatively smaller. They are comprised of silicate rocks and Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Argon are the gases found here. The density of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are 5.4 g/cm³, g/cm³, 5.5 g/cm³ and  3.9 g/cm³ respectively. Mercury and Venus are not rich in water, hydrogen, and helium gas because they might have evaporated or removed because they are nearest to the Sun.

Whereas Pluto is a dwarf, cold planet that lost its orbit and is at a great distance from the sun. It is beyond the planet Neptune and is no more considered as a planet of the solar system. A huge amount of ice is present here and comprised of gases such as Methane, Carbon Monoxide. It has a density of about 1.88 g/cm³, which is very less in comparison to the terrestrial planets.
