Lunar maria (plural form of the Latin word mare, which means sea) are dark surfaces that can be found all over the moon (17% of the Moon is covered in them) that have been created as a result of volcanic eruptions. These areas are made up of basalt, and given that they seemed almost waterlike, the astronomers in the distant past mistook them for seas, whence their name comes.
When it comes to craters, their origin is quite similar - volcanic eruptions created them. When lava starts erupting from a volcano, it has to get out from somewhere - and thus craters are created. If you are referring to lunar craters, however, there are many speculations as to how they were created: due to volcanic eruptions, meteoric impact, or glacier activity.

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Option-II and III

Explanation:

The wastewater produced by humans like from the human toilets is dumped into the flowing river bodies mostly in rivers and in the lakes also.

The human wastewater is rich in the nutrient contents like the phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium. These nutrients could be accumulated in the lakes which could cause eutrophication in the lakes and rivers.

Also, the human stool sump is rich in the disease-causing pathogens like the bacterial species present in the gut and intestine.  

Thus, Option-II and III are correct.

Do you think that solids can undergo convection? explain
sergey [27]
Convection is a type of heat transfer that occurs in molecules. It refers to the collective movement of molecules within fluids and rheids (non-molten solids). Convection happens through the process of diffusion, advection, or the combination of both. Therefore solids cannot undergo this process because bulk current flows and significant diffusion cannot take place within the molecules of solids. Aside from this, solids have bigger molecules that are too compact and cannot move freely unlike fluids do.  
<span>
Convection can best be seen through an experiment when a glass of water is exposed to a heat source. The change in temperature in the glass causes warm fluid to move into cooler areas which causes it to boil and bubble. </span>
