Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

A geyser is a geological feature that is commonly formed in a volcanically active region, where the hot water erupts periodically through the fissures and vents on the surface of the earth. The water in this region is heated up as it comes in contact with the hot rocks. Moreover, the geothermal gradient also facilitates the warming up of the water. This water then rises upward due to its lesser density through the porous cracks and fissures and thereby erupts on the surface.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Why have we not found examples in the fossil record of every animal that ever lived on earth? select all that apply. select all
Reptile [31]
Many fossils remain buried
Rocks contain the history of life...


Btw the animal ones don't count i think cuz fossils can be anything like teeth, bones or anything not just animals it can be formed by leaves as well so just for extra guidance i believe the ones that state animals are probably not the options to choose due to the fact that fossils are not just living organisms they're anything that has been buried and decomposed over many years and layers of sediments cover it over many years compression may alter the shape of the fossil aswell!

Hope that extra info helps for a bit of guidance!

Scientist classify rocks into three different ways . What is the main basis for the classification system they chose
Viktor [21]
The three main types of rocks are:

1. Igneous rock
2. Sedimentary rock
3. Metamorphic rock

They are classsified by their formation :

Igneous rock- This type of rock is formed due to volcanic activities, and under this type of rock, it is seperated into volcanic rock and plutonic rock.

Volcanic rock is also called intrusive igneous rock, where the magma filled the cracks below surface and cools down without meeting the air. One of the example if this kind of rock is granite.

Plutonic rock is also known as extrusive igneous rock where volcanic eruption occurs and the lava cools down after being exposed to the air. One of the example is tuff.

Sedimentary rock- These kind of rocks are formed due to the accumulation of sediments overtime. Rocks are also divided into two types under this catagory, namely clastic and non-clastic sedimentary rock.

Cladtic sedimentary rock - It is where the particles of sediments gets compacted due to accumulation, and the rock is usually coarse grained with different size of particles, for example, breccia.

Non-clastic on the other hand, are formed by organic substance that existed for a very long time to become rock, for example, coal is a kind of rock that is formed by organic substances under million years of accumulation. It is posible that fossil will be found.

Metamorphic rock- These type of rocks under goes extreme high temperature or compaction to form a new kind of rock from their parent rock. For instance, igneous rock will turn into marble under high temperature.

Hope it helps!
