The type of sediment that is made up mainly of the shells of diatoms and radiolarians are called the siliceous ooze<span>. Siliceous ooze is a siliceous pelagic sediment that covers large areas of the deep ocean floor. Calcareous ooze, siliceous ooze is formed from the tests of microorganisms; in the case of siliceous ooze, the organisms come in two varieties, diatoms and radiolarians. </span>

A map projection that shows accurate shape but a distorted size is called.
Morgarella [4.7K]
Your correct answer is B, a mercator map. the Mercator projection, the map most commonly seen hanging in classrooms and in text books, was created in 1596 to help sailors navigate the world. The familiar map gives the right shapes of land masses, but at the cost of distorting their sizes in favour of the wealthy lands to the north.<span>

What the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 21.4 dm?​
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

V ≈ 4577.204 cm^3

Explanation:

Use the volume formula V=4/3πr^3 to find the volume. Since you need the radius but are given the diameter, divide it by 2 to get half.

21.4/2 = 10.7

Now plug that into the formula and solve:

V=4/3πr^3

V=4/3π(10.7)^3

V= 4/3π(1,092.7272)

V=  4/3 * 3432.903

V= 4 * 3432.903/3

V = 13731.614/ 3

V ≈ 4577.204 cm^3 or whatever unit is stated.

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!
