Answer:

Since pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood while pulmonary vein carries the oxygenated blood.

Explanation:

It is incorrect since it is not true for all the arteries and veins present in the body. The arteries such as the pulmonary artery deliver the deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs. On the other hand, the pulmonary vein carries the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. Therefore, arteries carry the blood away from the heart while the veins carry the blood towards the heart.

How is a mantle plume (hot spot) different from volcanoes in the Ring of Fire? How are they similar? Give one specific example o
riadik2000 [5.3K]

The difference between a hot spot volcano and the volcanoes from Ring of Fire can mainly be seen in the way of formation and functioning. The hot spot volcanoes are far away from any tectonic plate boundary and they manage to penetrate the crust over them and come out on the surface to usually create volcanic islands. The activity of the volcanoes from the Ring of Fire depends directly from the activity between the bordering tectonic plates, and as the borders move over time, the volcanoes stop existing, and new ones rise in the direction where the boundary moves.

The similarity can be seen in the type of eruptions, and that usually both types of volcanoes form volcanic islands.

Example for a hot spot volcano is Mauna Loa on Hawaii.
