Answer: (B) Ozone

Explanation:

 Ozone is the type of substance which is present in upper atmosphere. The ozone layer is the basically blocks the ultraviolet radiation which is comes from the sun and it is the combination of single molecule with the 3 oxygen atoms.

The ozone layer absorb the ultraviolet radiation and also prevent from the harmful radiation. It helps in make the life possible on the surface of earth. On the other hand, all the options are incorrect as they do not prevent from the UV radiation.

Therefore, Option (B) is correct.

How does lava travel
RSB [31]
Lava flows are the least hazardous of all processes in volcanic eruptions. How far a lava flow travels depends on the flows temperature, silica content, extrusion rate, and slope of the land. A cold lava flow will not travel far and neither will one that has a high silica content. Such a flow would have a high viscosity<span> (a high resistance to flow). A basalt flow like those in Hawai'i have low silica contents and low viscosities so they can flow long distances. Such a flow can move as far away as 4 km from its source and have a thickness of 10 m (Bryant, 1991). These flows can move at rates of several kilometers per hour (Scott, 1989). </span><span>More silica-rich flows can move as far away as 1.3 km from their sources and have thicknesses of 100 m (Bryant, 1991). These flows can move at rates of a few to hundreds of meters per hour (Scott, 1989). If a lava flow is channelized or travels underground in a lava tube then the distance it travels is greatly extended.</span>

Which of the following conditions will produce the largest waves? a. strong, long duration winds in a large fetch weak, b. short
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

strong, long duration winds in a large fetch weak

Explanation:

A fetch is an area of the ocean or sea where wind blows in a fixed direction, this consistent wind leads to waves.

Fetch length is the distance reached by the wave generating winds when measured in from a horizontal direction. The wind creates wave by forming a drag and a frictional drag, the wind the flow over the wave making it grow. Therefore, a strong, long duration winds in a moderate fetch or weak fetch will produce largest waves.
