Answer:

Then the scientists studied how this mineral behaved. For example, they looked into how dense bridgmanite becomes and how much it squashes. The team then compared these traits to what is known about the blobs themselves.

This research showed that in the lab, bridgmanite behaves much as does the mineral seen in the mantle’s blobs. The scientists also showed that bridgmanite isn’t rigid enough to hold together as an intact blob without help from something else. “This challenges the assumption that these piles are self-supporting,” Jackson says. “It’s evidence that there is something else propping them up.”

The professional that most likely will be called in to help seismologist.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

When an underwater earthquake has just been recorded in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the seismologists will be called to determine if the effects of this earthquake and whether or not it will cause tsunamis off the coast of Hawaii.

Seismology is the study of earthquakes, the escalation of waves and the effects they might have. A seismologist is a scientist who is concerned with these studies. They make use of seismographs and other relevant tools to gather essential data which helps in reading the planetary movements and understanding them better. The study does not always predict an earthquake but it helps in predicting the possibility of tsunamis. Seismology enabled the development of tsunami warning systems.

Answer:

Your answer is B.

Explanation:

Since elements can't exactly "die", the element rather breaks down in the soil below it, and is used again upon the next plant or animal.
