Answer:

Comets are frozen leftovers from the formation of the solar system composed of dust, rock and ices. They range from a few miles to tens of miles wide, but as they orbit closer to the sun, they heat up and spew gases and dust into a glowing head that can be larger than a planet. This material forms a tail that stretches millions of miles. (Answer from NASA)

Some examples of comets are:

Comet Hyakutake

Halley's Comet

Comet Encke

Comet Hale-Bopp

Comets are cosmic snowballs of frozen gases, rock and dirt that orbit the Sun. once frozen, they're the dimensions of a small city. when a comet's orbit brings it about to the Sun, it heats up and spews dirt and gases into an enormous glowing head larger than most planets.

The volcanoes of many Hawaiian island are extinct because
andre [41]

Answer:

b) the Pacific plate has carried the volcanoes away from the hot spot that formed them

Explanation:

The Hawaiian islands all have volcanic origin. Some are not active, while some still are. All of these islands have been active volcanoes at one point of time, and they have been created by a hot spot that lies beneath the Pacific plate. The hot spot has such a power that it actually manages to break through the central part of the plate where its crust is the strongest and densest. As the magma manages to come out above the water, it manages to create volcanic islands. The Pacific plate though is moving, it is not static, so it drags the volcanic islands away from the hot spot, causing their extinguishing. As those islands are moved away, the hot spot creates new volcanic islands, and the process constantly continuous, resulting in a volcanic island chain.

Hello! It’s not January or June, because one Hemisphere will be hot, while another one will be cold. November could work, but then it would get colder and colder from there. It has to be March, because that’s where the spring equinox begins, where the days are balanced and the temperature start to become moderate. The answer is C: March.
