The consecutive numbers are either 2 and 3, or 7 and 8..
x(x+1) = x^2 + x
x^2 + x = 10x-14
quadratic form of x^2 + x = 10x-14:
x^2 - 9x + 14 = 0
(x-2)(x-7) = 0
x = 2, 7
so 2 and 3, or 7 and 8 are the answers
The answer is a) manganese nodules
The correct answer is - C. Volcanic derived carbon dioxide gas bubbled from the lake and suffocated people and animals nearby.
In the summer of 1986, more specifically on the August 21st, a big tragedy happened in Cameroon. The Lake Nyos, located in the northwestern part of the country experienced a limnic eruption. This eruption triggered the release of very large amounts of carbon dioxide from the lake. The exact amount of carbon dioxide that was released is debatable, and the general consensus is that it was between 100,000 and 300,000 tons of the gas, though there are suggestions that it was up to 1.6 million tons.
The gas spread around very quickly, and being heavier than the air it stuck very low. In a radius of around 25 km from the lake, lot of people and animals were suffocated. The estimates are that 1746 people died and around 3,500 livestock died, not even counting the damage that has been done to the wild animals.
I'd choose C.) and here is why. If I asked someone for directions to a hotel they are going to describe the roads and buildings to me. They might say it is built in an embankment then I know to look for a hotel in an embankment. If this is wrong please let me know so I can research more on the subject.
