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).

Leto [7]

Answer:

A. Geology

B. Computer aided designs

C. Dead organisms in the oceans

D. Helps in converting dead organisms into oil and gas

Explanation:

The oil and natural gas are buried under layers and this requires a good knowledge of "geology". Furthermore, equipments must be built to explore this oil and natural gas

Involvement of Technology has to do with "Computer aided models" being generated. Seismic surveys and satellites used to collect data.

Oil and gas began as dead plants and animals living in the ocean millions of years ago.

Role of sedimentation: the Organisms in the ocean died and went to the bottom of the ocean, where a layer of sediment would cover them. Over the years, alternating layers of dead organisms and sediments were formed. As the layers bottled up, the immense pressure and heat converted the dead organisms into oil and natural gas.

What geologic process is related to caldera formation?.
olasank [31]
A caldera is a large depression formed when a volcano erupts and collapses. During a volcanic eruption, magma present in the magma chamber underneath the volcano is expelled, often forcefully. When the magma chamber empties, the support that the magma had provided inside the chamber disappears.
