Answer:

Option: b. Feed basaltic volcanoes (composition similar to the seafloor), unless the hot spot is altered in composition coming through a continent, in which case the volcano may be more andesitic.

Explanation:

Most volcanoes found in the plates boundaries but some situated in the centre of the plates. These volcanoes formed over a hot spot where mantle plume is rising in the form of magma. Hot spots are found in the ocean, and on continents.

Hot spot volcanoes occur far from plate boundaries because mantle plumes exist below the tectonic plates. Volcanoes in the Hawaiian Islands and Yellowstone National Park are some of the examples of the Hot spots.

Answer:

I notice your question is incomplete, but I guess it corresponds to the one I attached as an image. I will answer to that question and I hope it helps:

The three water phases: solid (ice) , Liquid (water), Gas (vapor)

1) The state of matter in which water is densest - Liquid

2) The state of matter in which molecules are most energetic - Gas

3) The state of matter of steam rising from a hot cup of coffee - Gas

4) The state of matter in which water molecules vibrate about fixed location - solid

5) The state of matter of frost on grass - solid

Explanation:

1) The state of matter in which water is densest - Liquid

When water freezes, its molecules are structured as a very organized web of water molecules bonded by hydrogen bonds. This lattice structure makes Ice less dense than liquid water. In fact, in liquid water, hydrogen bonds unify water molecules, but not in a organized and clear structure, so molecules are nearer than in solid state, they are tightly packed.

2) The state of matter in which molecules are most energetic - Gas

Gas is the state in which molecules are most energetic because they move freely. Ice has water molecules in a specific structure (lattice) avoiding them to move freely and all over a container, so no movements means no action and a low energy. Water moleule in liquid state has some movement but not as free as gas state. Gas has a variable volume and shape, its particles are far from each other and they are not in a fixed place, so there is a lot of movement, so a lot of energy.

3) The state of matter of steam rising from a hot cup of coffee - Gas

The state of matter of water rising from a hot cup of coffee is vapor and is invisible; as it began to condence, we can see droplets that form a mist.

4) The state of matter in which water molecules vibrate about fixed location - solid

As I explained before, ice is the state in which water molecules are in a lattice-like fixed location. These molecules still vibrate but in a fixed point.

5) The state of matter of frost on grass - solid

Frost on grass is the result of water depositions that lose thermal energy and they become a thin layer of solid water.

Which economic system does the best job of balancing freedom and social equality? Include the economic system and a thesis state

Luda [366]

Political economy is the study of how the relationship between politics and economics shapes the balance of freedom and equality. States use several institutions to achieve their economic goals.

Critical to any economy are markets—the interactions between the forces of supply and demand, or how goods are services are exchanged. Another critical component of an economy is property—the ownership of those goods and services.

All states provide some measure of public goods—those services or goods that no one person or organization can own. States differ greatly in what they define as a public good, though national defense and public education are often seen as public goods. Social expenditures—the state’s spending on public benefits—incites furious debates over who benefits from, and pays for, public goods. One major source of public funding—and public debate—is taxation.

One basic way states seek to control the economy is through the creation and management of money. To manage money, states may rely on a central bank, a state institution that controls the flow money and how much it costs to borrow money in that economy. A central bank tries to reduce both inflation (when prices rise because there is too much money and not enough goods) and deflation (when prices drop because there is too little money and too many goods).

Many economic debates focus on regulations—the rules that the state sets to manage the production and exchange of goods or services. Trade is often a focus of regulation, where the state uses tariffs (taxes on imported goods), quotas, and other nontariff regulatory barriers (health, packaging, and other restrictions that make it more difficult for goods to be traded) to help its economy.
