Answer:
B. Geosphere
A. Biosphere
A. Atmosphere
Explanation:
Volcanic eruptions occurs within the Geosphere. The geosphere is the rock solid earth make up of rocks that extends into the deep interior.
Magma formed deep within the crust rises to elevated parts and finally erupts as lava on the surface. When they cool, they solidify to form volcanic rocks.
The volcanic eruptions affects the biosphere significantly. The biosphere is the portion of the earth where all life forms exists.
Gases and ash spewed during an eruption into the atmosphere causes severe changes to weather and leads to pollution. The atmosphere is the gaseous envelope round the earth.

Answer:
(a) r = 1.062·R
= 
(b) r = 
(c) Zero
Explanation:
Here we have escape velocity v
given by
and the maximum height given by
Therefore, when the initial speed is 0.241v we have
v = 
so that;
v² = 
v² = 
is then
Which gives
or
r = 1.062·R
(b) Here we have
Therefore we put 
in the maximum height equation to get
From which we get
r = 1.32·R
(c) The we have the least initial mechanical energy, ME given by
ME = KE - PE
Where the KE = PE required to leave the earth we have
ME = KE - KE = 0
The least initial mechanical energy to leave the earth is zero.
Answer:
a) 0.0288 grams
b) 
Explanation:
Given that:
A typical human body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass
The abundance for the three isotopes are:
Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41 with abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728% respectively.
a)
Thus; a person with a mass of 80 kg will posses = 80 × 3 = 240 grams of potassium.
However, the amount of potassium that is present in such person is :
0.012% × 240 grams
= 0.012/100 × 240 grams
= 0.0288 grams
b)
the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body is calculate as follows:
First the Dose in (Gy) = 
= 
= 
Effective dose (Sv) = RBE × Dose in Gy
Effective dose (Sv) = 
Effective dose (Sv) =
Answer:
Amplitude.
Explanation:
A wave can be defined as a disturbance in a medium that progressively transports energy from a source location to another location without the transportation of matter.
In Science, there are two (2) types of wave and these include;
I. Electromagnetic waves: it doesn't require a medium for its propagation and as such can travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of an electromagnetic wave is light.
II. Mechanical waves: it requires a medium for its propagation and as such can't travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of a mechanical wave is sound.
An amplitude can be defined as a waveform that's measured from the center line (its origin or equilibrium position) to the bottom of a trough or top of a crest.
Hence, an amplitude is a word that describes the maximum displacement a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes.
On a graph, the vertical axis (y-axis) is the amplitude of a waveform and this simply means that, it's measured vertically.
Mathematically, the amplitude of a wave is given by the formula;
x = Asin(ωt + ϕ)
Where;
x is displacement of the wave measured in meters.
A is the amplitude.
ω is the angular frequency measured in rad/s.
t is the time period measured in seconds.
ϕ is the phase angle.
