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.

Why do you think root hairs are produced only on the part of the root system that has stop?​
mixer [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

They are found only in the zone of maturation, and not the zone of elongation, possibly because any root hairs that arise are sheared off as the root elongates and moves through the soil. Root hairs grow quickly, at least 1μm/min, making them particularly useful for research on cell expansion.

When the single source of pollution can be identified, it is called ______.
Reika [66]

Answer: <u>Option D point source pollution </u>

Explanation: The pollutants which can be tracked, from the source of origin are termed as point source pollution. This can be water source, air or even light or noise pollution. The pollutants are easily detected being released from the source of pollution. Whereas the non-point source of pollution are those which are indirect sources and they carry off the pollutants which lie on the way, like runoff water carrying the pesticides from the agricultural land. Runoff and waste are examples of non-point sources of pollution. Thus, option A and C are incorrect answers.

The lock-and-key analogy for enzymes applies to the specificity of enzymes _____. A) as they form their tertiary and quaternary
xeze [42]

The correct answer is: B) binding to their substrate

The catalytic mechanism of an enzyme starts when the substrate binds to its active site (specific region of an enzyme). There is a theory (lock and key) that explains the mechanism of this binding: the lock is the enzyme and the key is the substrate and only if they fit the enzyme will work. The binding of the substrate to the enzyme causes conformational changes of the enzyme, and as a result, products are formed. The products are then released from the surface of tat enzyme. The enzyme is regenerated for another reaction cycle.
