Answer:

option (c) 14.7 lbs

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Area of the column = 1 square inch

Now,

we know Air pressure at the ground surface level from the atmosphere

= 14.7 Psi

also, it can be represented as

14.7 Psi = 14.7 pounds per square inch

Therefore,

Weight of the air weigh within a column that is 1 square inch in area

= Air pressure × Area

= 14.7 pounds per square inch × 1 square inch

= 14.7 pounds i.e 14.7 lbs

Hence,

The answer is option (c) 14.7 lbs

Answer:

Deep underground, beneath an extinct volcano​

Explanation:

Diorite results from the partial melting of a mafic rock above a subduction zone. It is found in volcanic arcs, and in cordilleran mountain building, such as in the Andes Mountains.

Diorite is formed <u><em>deep within the Earth's crust from cooling magma that never made it to the surface</em></u>. It usually occurs as quite small intrusions often associated with larger intrusions like granite. Slow cooling produces the large crystals.

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Folding.

Explanation:

In Geography, folding is a process whereby rock layers bend due to compressional forces.

Just as described in the question above, compressional forces mean that the two ends of the rock layers are being pushed inwards towards each other. The rock layer, just like the cloth layer described above, responds by bending or rumpling.
