When we think of volcanoes, eruptions, lava, and smoke-filled air come to mind—all occurring on land. Most people are surprised

to learn about the prevalence of underwater volcanoes on our planet. Because the lava and smoke spilling out of an active, underwater volcano is contained by the ocean, people generally do not take note of these eruptions. However, the largest underwater volcanoes are capable of creating huge tidal waves, threatening coastal communities. The main idea of the passage is that:

Answer:

<u>To bring awareness about the underwater volcanoes</u>.

Explanation:

  • The eruption of the volcanoes, and the occurrence of the earthquakes on the planet and the spilling of the lavas, and the smoke-filled air hat comes to from the vent of the large craters.
  • <u>As most people think that the volcanoes are present on the land areas only does not mean that they are confined to the above surface of earth they are also characterized by the deep hydrothermal vent and the  most pope thus are surprised to know about them as they don't know that they are the primary place for the origin of the first life forms n the earth in the single-celled bacteria. </u>
  • They generally spill out the lavas and the magmas and this is called sth submarine volcanoes and ends to occur along the mid-ocean ridges. And are known to give out an estimated 75% of the volume of the lavas on earth.
  • T<u>hey are also known as the seamounts that are created from the extinct volcanoes that occur in 1000 to 4000 meters depth of the seafloor.</u>

Which of the following can be used by scientists to date the sediment layer they are found in? Select all that apply
Fantom [35]

<u>Answer:</u>

All of the above mentioned options can be used by scientists to date the sediment layer they are found in.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Rock fossils, animal fossils, etc.found in the sediment layer can be used to determine the age of the sediment based on the period of the existence of that animal or the period of formation of the rock.
  • Tree rings clearly exhibit the age of the tree. Hence, a sediment layer with the evidence of tree rings can tell the age of the sediment layer.
  • An amalgamation of the data obtained from the animal growth rings and the period of existence of that specific animal species can be used to calculate the age of the sediment.
  • The intensity of radioactivity left in the isotopes clarifies how old the isotope is.
  • The age of mineral elements can be determined exactly with the help of processes like Potassium-Argon dating, Uranium-Lead dating, etc.
  • Thus it would be easy to determine the age of the sediment layer containing mineral elements.
