“A hot spot develops above the plume. Magma generated by the hot spot rises through the rigid plates of the lithosphere and produces active volcanoes at the Earth's surface. As oceanic volcanoes move away from the hot spot, they cool and subside, producing older islands, atolls, and seamounts.” Oregon State University

From the standpoint of water availability, which of the four soils; crushed silt loam, aggregate silt loam, fine sand or coarse
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

fine sand

Explanation:

  • Permeability id a scientific index of the soil to have air and water pass through the soil pore and spaces. As clay soils have a fine texture, with loamy soils moderately textured and sandy soils coarsely textured thus permeability changes from slow to rapid.
  • As sandy soil is highly permeable i.e 5.0 cm per hour and clay soils having the least i.e 0.05 permeability. Loamy soil is composed of sand, silt, and a smaller amount of clay.
  • From an agricultural perspective, the soil permeability depends upon the percentage of the see-page and the chemical makeup of the soil. Thus crops can grow more easily this type of soil as the particle size is minute and fine.

How do fossil fuels form?
Olenka [21]

There are three types of fossil fuels: Oil, coal and gas.

Let's look into their formation one by one:

Oil: Dead plankton such as microorganisms and plants was buried under the sea million years ago, it accumulate over time to become oil, also known as petroleum,

Coal: Plants were dead and broken down by bacteria over time, carbon dioxide and methane were produced. After million years, the dead flora accumulated to become peat and undergone compaction, becoming coal.

Gas: This is formed along oil, and again produced by dead organisms. It is mostly formed during decomposition, and mostly made up of methane.

Hope it helps!
