'Energy' and 'power' are often confused, but aren't the same. Why do we say 'power plants' instead of energy plants'?

Answer:Both are important capabilities of a generator to keep the lights on.

Explanation:Power plants do provide both energy and power. Both are important capabilities of a generator to keep the lights on. And, in fact, power plants are rated, not by how much energy they produce, but by how much power they can produce, because if the grid does not have enough power generation capacity, it won’t work. It is arguably the more important parameter to specify in an electrical generation facility.

So, you could probably call them either power or energy plants. I do not know the history of why we chose to use power.

Do you infer organic or inorganic foods? explain. (5-10 sentences)
ICE Princess25 [194]
I honestly prefer organic foods due to the fact that I know they aren't sprayed with pesticides that could later inflict my health later in life. Organic foods are fresher due to the fact that preservatives aren't used to make it last longer. Organic foods have a higher nutritional value based on my personal research and studies I've come across. I avoid hormones, antibiotics and drugs in the animal products I consume. I like the fact that organic foods help preserve our ecosystems. Preservation of soil and crop rotation keep farmland healthy, and chemical abstinence preserves the ecosystem. Wildlife, insects, frogs, birds, and soil organisms are able to play their roles in ecology, and we are able to play ours, without disruption.

Hope that helps! (:

Which of the following processes describes how missionary activities change the geographies of universalizing religions outside
olga nikolaevna [1]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the options for this question. However, we can answer this.

The process that describes how missionary activities changed the geographies of universalizing religions outside of their founding hearths was Expansion Diffusion.

This is the process that happens when a major nation introduces and expands its culture, tradition, customs, or religious beliefs into other nations. It could be through conquering and colonizing as was the case of the Spanish crown which sent its religious congregations such as the Franciscans to evangelize the Native Indians into the Catholic religion.
