The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
The total amount of water on the Earth ____________ from year to year and the hydrologic cycle ________________.
A. stays about the same; moves it from one place to another place
B. increase; captures it from the incoming solar radiation
C. increases; gains water from the Earth's interior
D. decreases; moves it from one place to another place
E. decreases; loses water to the atmospher
Answer:
A. stays about the same; moves it from one place to another place
Explanation:
Water constitutes a significant proportion of the earth. A significant percentage of the earth surface is covered by water.
The amount of water on the earth surface is constant. However the hydrologic (water) cycle moves water from place to place.
Explanation:
The Pacific Ring of Fire is named so because of it's known ring-shaped pattern of Volcanoes. This is all due in part to merging tectonic plates, all resulting in oceanic Volcanoes. It does deserve the name "Ring of Fire" Because of the fact that the volcanoes shoot out fire hot magma, and all of them are arranged in a ring shape around the tectonic plate boundaries.
I hope this helped!

Answer:
1. Groove describes the gap in the outer crust of rubber in a tire.
Advantage: It helps water and air to be expelled from beneath the tire.
Disadvantage: Regrooving is dangerous as it makes more grooves to worn out tires which may dysfunction during driving.
2. Cuff is tire scalloping in which treads move from high to low.
Advantage : It reduces fuel consumption due to less friction and resistance.
Disadvantage: There can be lack of contact of tire with the rod surface and therefore bouncy feel can be irritating for the travelers.
3. lugs: Lug nuts are fasteners which attach a tire from the automobile.
Advantages: Lug nut patterns helps maintain good braking power.
Disadvantages: There can be tendency of high noise when car is driven at high speed.
Right now, as I am writing, it is 14:30 (2:30 PM) according to the Eastern Time (Your question was 4 hours ago so it was 10:30 AM).
Eastern Time is 4 hours behind the UTC (Universal Standard Time) in the summer and 5 in the winter. It is also 3 hours behind New York and
