Answer:

A major gas leak occurred in a pesticide factory.

Explanation:

    The city of Bhopal is located in central India, it was the scene of one of the greatest tragedies in history. It all began on December 3, 1984, in an insecticide factory that used the following reaction to obtain its final product: methyl isocyanate.

    This raw material is a highly toxic gaseous substance. The factory used a large amount of gas and therefore kept the stock in the tanks. It happened that at dawn on the 3rd, due to numerous failures, the gas trapped in the tanks leaked completely. At the same time, thousands of people took to the streets feeling the following symptoms: difficulty breathing, burning eyes, dizziness, among others. The loss of vision was one of the consequences of the injured, and the worst, several people (including children) died the same day and the following days.

    Many pregnant women living in the city of Bhopal suffered instant miscarriages and most of the babies born in those days were killed. It was a real catastrophe. It is estimated that in the early hours the accident caused about 8000 fatalities. And in the years that followed, the death toll reached 22,000.

What is the immediate consequences of a city failing to provide educational recourses for its residents
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The immediate consequence of a city failing to provide educational resources for its residents is that d) Fewer children may be able to break the cycle of poverty. When education is not readily available for each citizen, people are less likely to experience social mobility and be able to break the cycle of poverty, as without education it is harder to get a nine to five job and wages are often lower when working in an occupation which does not require a university degree.

kenny6666 [7]
A stationary front is depicted in the picture at L. A stationary from is a narrow zone separating two air masses in which neither air mass is displacing the other. When this occurs there is a stall in the motion of the front. The blue triangles point away from the cold air and the red semicircles point away from the warm air.

35. What factor primarily controls the viscosity, and therefore the explosiveness of a magma? A. Dissolved gases B. Pressure C.
Rasek [7]

Answer:

E. Mineral content

Explanation:

Viscosity is an internal property of a fluid that offers resistance to flow, the nature of volcanic eruptions is highly dependent on magma viscosity and also on dissolved gas content (dissolved gases become trapped by thick magma and the magma chamber begins to build pressure).  

The viscosity of magma is controlled by the size of the molecules that comprise it.

<em>Felsic lava contains elements of small size (sodium and aluminum), these elements form polymers and large crystalline macromolecules like silica, the more extensive silicate chain molecules the more viscous the magma becomes, this happens because larger molecules have stronger  intermolecular bonds preventing movement and spreading. </em>

Mafic and ultramafic lava, on the other hand, have lower viscosities, also contain lower quantities of silica and aluminum and are rich in magnesium oxide, which does not form large molecular structures, therefore lava flows smoothly, unrestricted by intermolecular forces.  

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
