Answer:

Emissions from power plants that burn fossil fuels increase atmospheric carbon dioxide, which is absorbed by the ocean.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are burnt in power plants in order to produce energy. These fossil fuels contain carbon. Combustion of these fossil fuels emits oxides of carbon into the atmosphere. The oxides of carbon are carbon II oxide and carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide can be absorbed by the ocean to form carbonic acid according to the reaction equation;

CO2(aq) + H2O(l) ------> H2CO3(aq)

This is an anthropogenic activity which increases ocean acidification.

What kind of eruption is likely to occur in a volcano having magma that is low in silica

Masja [62]

A volcano erupts quietly if it's magma is low on silica. Low silica magma will be very thin, runny, and will flow easily, so the gases in the magma will bubble out gently. Hope this helps!:)

An investigation involves determining which metal is better for making pots that will cook food faster. Which is the best hypoth

irina [24]

Because the specific metals aren’t mentioned in this inquiry. The educational guesses that we can propose is that:
1. The hypothetical inquiry: There are existing metals for making pots that will cook food much faster.

2. The one-tailed alternative hypothesis: There are other metals for making pots that will cook food much faster than the other metals. 
3. The one-tailed null hypothesis: All metals that are used in making pots will cook food at an equal rate.

What does it mean to say that a wave is a cyclic, or periodic, disturbance

Ivenika [448]

Wave is a disturbance or energy that propagate through medium from one point to other point

So basically it is a flowing energy that flows into the medium and hence medium particles start oscillating about their mean position to and fro.

This motion of medium particles or this to and fro motion is about their mean position and this will always be cyclic or periodic motion

This means the disturbance or energy continuously flow through the medium such that it will change the position of medium particle and this will be cyclic in order

For an example

$y = A sin(\omega t + kx + \phi)$

so here above equation of wave is a travelling wave in which displacement of medium particle from its mean position is given by "y"

Now we can see that this disturbance depends upon the sine function and it will repeat its same position after every 2 pi time interval as it is cyclic function for this value

Due to this phenomenon of repeatation of its same position we can say that it is disturbance of wave is cyclic.
