Answer: Based off of the type of chemical reaction goes on in the lava before it explodes

Explanation:

There are  two main factors that influence how a volcano will erupt are viscosity and gas content. Both are related to the composition of the magma . Hawaiian volcanoes tend to erupt basalt , which is low in viscosity and low in gas content (about 0.5 weight percent).

Answer:

The volcanoes are an important feature often found on the surface of the earth. They are directly associated with the convergent and divergent type of plate boundary.

These eruptions of the volcano takes place either violently or quietly. This violent or silent explosive nature is determined by the following factors, such as-

  • Amount of silica content in the magma- If silica content is more, then the viscosity of magma is high and it flows sluggishly and is very violent in nature ejecting a lot of pyroclastic materials. Low viscosity magma flows easily and rapidly.
  • Amount of dissolved gas present in magma- When there is more amount of dissolved gas, then it is more violent releasing a large number of gases.
  • The temperature of magma- High-temperature magma are more violent than the low-temperature magma.

These are the main factors that describe if the eruption is explosive or not.

The bone structure of the baleen whale and the hummingbird pictured above suggest that they share
Jobisdone [24]

Answer: The correct answer is-  bone structure of the baleen whale and the hummingbird share common ancestor.

Bone structure of the baleen whale and the hummingbird are the homologous organs.

Homologous organs can be described as the organs of different animals, which possess same basic structure but perform different functions.

For example- The flippers of a whale and forelimb of man, bone structure of the baleen whale and the hummingbird.

Baleen Whales and hummingbirds have a basic tetrapod skeletons, which is inherited from a common ancestor. But their bodies have been modified and they have lost parts through natural selection. This results in different adaptation in the form of their respective lifestyles over many years.

All enterics are facultative anaerobes; they have both respiratory and fermentative enzymes. What color results would you expect
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

The O-F glucose test (oxidative-fermentation) is used to determine whether an organism is performs oxidative or fermentative metabolism.

Oxidative metabolism (i.e respiration) takes place in the presence of oxygen while fermentative takes place in the absence of oxygen.

Facultative anaerobes can carry out both fermentation and respiration.

The O-F medium has glucose, peptones and a pH indicator. When the pH of the medium is acidic, that is glucose has been broken down, the medium turns yellow. When it is basic, it turns blue implying that peptone and not glucose had been broken down.

The sealed tube is overlaid with oil so as to prevent oxygen from getting in, making it anaerobic.

The unsealed tube allows oxygen.

Enterics would be yellow is both tubes because they are facultative anaerobes and can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen, hence they carry out both respiration and fermentation.
