Answer:
A. Mauna Kea/Mauna Loa
Explanation:
Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are the two peaks of Hawai’i Island. the height of Mauna Kea is 4,206 meters while Mauna Loa has a height of 4,170 meters. Mauna Loa is one of the five volcanoes of Hawai’i which is inactive about 35 years. Mauna Kea is also inactive mountain of Hawai’i and considered the largest mountain of the world if it is measure from base because most of its part are present under water.
Answer:
D. Solar radiation heats the asphalt; the air immediately above is heated through conduction; the warm air rises in free convection.
Explanation:
As the parking lot is exposed to the sun, on a sunny afternoon, we can consider that the sun is radiating with high intensity in this environment, causing the asphalt to be strongly heated. In this case, the air that comes in contact with the asphalt ends up being heated, because the heat of the asphalt is transmitted by the air through the process called conduction, which is the heat transmitted by the agitation of the molecules.
The heated air becomes less dense, that is, it becomes lighter and this causes it to rise, while the cold air is more dense and descends, coming into contact with hot asphalt and also heating up. In that case, a heat transfer called convection occurred.
Answer:
What should we help about
Answer:
E. The ancestral reptiles could not have survived long at sea.
Explanation:
To get the answer to this question, the key is to focus on which option strengthens the conclusion of the scientists.
The scientists concluded that the sea level rise left at least a part of the Islands unsubmerged which may have caused some of the reptiles to survive. looking at the options, Option A weakens the conclusion of the scientist because if they can adapt, more of the reptiles would have survived in all the islands.
But option E strengthens the conclusion because since the ancestral reptiles could not survive long at sea, it therefore implies that there was at least a part of the island that was not submerged which helped in the survival of a population of the ancestral reptiles during the sea level rise.
Option B is irrelevant and option C is wrong because the statements clearly indicates that fossils shows that the current reptiles can be traced to the ancestral reptiles on the Island.
Deforestation<span>, clearance or clearing is the removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non-forest use. Examples of </span>deforestation<span> include conversion of forestland to farms, ranches, or urban use. The most concentrated </span>deforestation<span> occurs in tropical rainforests.</span>
