Answer:

b. grasshopper effect

Explanation:

Persistent Organic Pollutants or POPs are organic chemicals that cause a lot of damage to environment and living beings. They are generally industrial chemicals or pesticides for example, DDT. They are toxic and not degraded easily. They tend to get accumulated in living tissues and increase in concentration as we move upwards in a food chain.

When POPs are transported to areas far from their original site, the phenomena is called as grasshopper effect. They are carried by wind in atmosphere and finally settle down on land from where they evaporate again to enter the atmosphere. Thus, the cycle continues. Eventually, they can reach to an area thousands of kilometers away from their original source.

The Old Faithful geyser found in Yellowstone Park is an example of _____. a feature resulting from earthquake activity a feature
Monica [59]

The given blank can be filled with a feature resulting from hot volcanic rock.  

The geysers refer to the rare characteristics on Earth, only about 1000 of them prevail, and more than half of those are situated in Yellowstone. For a geyser to develop, there must be a source of volcanic heat, enough groundwater, and a geologic plumbing system via which the heated water can escape.  

The absconding of water takes place when the groundwater is heated by the hot volcanic rocks. The intensifying steam bubbles push the water above via the fissures in the rock until they overflow from the geyser.  

With the absconding of the top layers of the water, the pressure on the hotter waters below diminishes, leading to a violent chain reaction of explosions, which expand the volume of the rising boiling water by up to 1500 times or more.
