Answer: He found a rock, and the crystals inside are minerals.

Options:

  • He found a rock, and the crystals inside are minerals.
  • He found a mineral, and the crystals inside are rocks.
  • He found a rock, and the crystals inside are rocks, too.
  • He found a mineral, and the crystals inside are made of dirt.

Explanation:

A rock differs from a mineral. While they are both solid, a mineral has a crystalline structure while a rock does not have a specific structure. Rocks are made up of different mineral structures and that is what Joseph discovered on dropping the rock, one of the component minerals in the rock. For example, a type of rock, slate may consist of feldspar, quartz among many other minerals.

Artyom0805 [142]

The answer is rainforests. The destruction of rainforests can lead to global warming due to the accumulation of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. This is because rainforests are major carbon sinks because they sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. One of the major rainforests that are facing the threat of human activities is the Amazon and Congo forests.


The answer is south america’s location atop the Nazca and South American plates of the circum-pacific belt. The circum-pacific belt is also known as the ‘ring of fire’ because there is a subduction zone in the region. The Cocos plate is subducting under the Caribbean Plate. This creates friction between the two plates with occasional release of high amounts of energies when a stuck region gets unstuck abruptly. This region accounts for approximately 90% of the world’s earthquakes.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The two primary factors that impact how a well of lava will eject are consistency and gas content. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Both are identified with the arrangement of the magma. </em>Hawaiian volcanoes will in general emit basalt , which is low in consistency and low in gas content (about 0.5 weight percent).

The higher the level of silica substance of magma, the more thick it is. <em>Since a magma with less silica substance is moderately liquid and has a high capacity to stream (low consistency)</em>
