What is the magnitude of a volcanic eruption in krakatoa, indonesia august 27, 1883?

1 answer:

7 0

Krakatau volcano ( Indonesia ) is well known for its catastrophic 1883 eruption. The result of this eruption was 36,000 deaths. This eruption has been assigned a VEI ( Volcanic Explosivity Index ) of 6 ( or colossal ). VEI is a 0 to 8 index of increasing explosivity. VEI of 6 means : a plume height over 25 km and a displacement volume : 10 to 100,000 km³. The total energy released during the eruption was equivalent to 200 megatons of TNT.
Answer: VEI of 6.

Which of the following material offers the lowest resistivity?

Yuki888 [10]

Lower resistivity means higher conductivity: among these materials, the best conductor is silver, therefore it must be the material with lowest resistivity among those. We can also have a look at the value of resistivity of the different materials listed in the problem, to check our answer. The resistivities of the materials are the following:
Wood: $1.00\cdot 10^{3} \Omega \cdot m$
Salt water: $2.00\cdot 10^{-1} \Omega \cdot m$
Silver: $1.59\cdot 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m$
Lead: $2.20\cdot 10^{-7} \Omega \cdot m$
<span>We see that the material with lowest resistivity among those is silver, therefore the correct answer is silver.</span>
