Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

In volcanic areas, some of the surface water percolates downward through the cracks and fissures present in the rocks and it eventually comes in contact with the deeper rocks, that are heated by the hot uprising magma. These are areas of shallow depth where the magma is at a much closer distance to the surface of the earth. This water then gets heated up by this heat flow, as a result of which the water becomes warm and less dense and rises upward. It then erupts at the surface, forming a hot-spring. These hot-springs are known as geysers.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).

The Statue of Liberty was originally a bronze color, but is now a greenish-blue. What has cause the color change?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

c. Chemical weathering

Explanation:

One of the famous landmarks in New York City is "The Statue of Liberty." It was built in<em> 1886</em> as a gift to the Americans from France.

The statue is covered with<em> copper sheets</em>, thus, it used to have a brown color. However, over time, the color turned into greenish-blue. This is because<u> the copper sheets underwent chemical weathering</u>. Such process occurred as a result of the reaction of copper with Oxygen in the air and with water. It produced<em> "copper carbonate,"</em> which is<em> greenish-blue</em> in color. Such color was noticeable in<em> </em>1900<em>, </em>but it covered the entire statue in <em>1906.</em>

Why did the giant planets grow larger than the terrestrial planets?Because there was more solid ice farther from the Sun. b. Bec
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

D. Because there was more gas farther from the Sun. As the are out of the range

Explanation:

  • Basically, due to the core acceleration mechanism, theory to the formation of gaseous objects that can pull the gas as farther away from the sun the impact of solar winds is quite less. There are low-pressure regions
  • Unlike rocky planets that have a different atmosphere and gas giants don't have a well-defined surface there atmosphere simply becomes denser to the core which may also be in a liquid-like state thus not suitable for landing.
  • There are four gaseous giants in our solar system such as Uranus, Neptune, Jupiter Saturn all have atmosphere covered with ice or gases and all are bigger as compared to terrestrial planets like earth thus they are called as Jovian planets.  
  • These Jovians attract large amounts of gas as their magnetic fields are stronger and huge size ad gas giants are known as metallic molecules of hydrogen and helium in core consisting of more than 50% of the planet masses.

The map above uses a particular projection to display the world’s continents. Which of the following statements about this map i
Airida [17]

The false statement is -  B. This map projection does not distort shapes.

The map shown on the image is a Mollweide projection map. This is a map that has an elliptical shape, unlike most of the maps that have a rectangular shape. It is a map that pretty accurately manages to depict the Earth's continents with their right sizes.

Unfortunately, it can not be said that the map is without flaws. It is a map that has distortions, as all the others do, but it is still a map where the distortions are very small, thus the depiction is much accurate than on most of the other map projections.
