Answer:

Ice wedges are a big cause of potholes in roads and streets. As ice forms in the cracks of a street, the water expands and pushes against the surrounding rock, making the cracks wider, eventually breaking apart the rock.

In another solar system, we discover two Jovian moons that have very different levels of volcanism. Propose three hypotheses tha
ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei discovered four of Jupiter's moons , in year 1610 . Now these are known as Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Io is innermost of these four moons and one of the most volcanically active planetary object still discovered. These moons are very much different from any other planetary body in every respect. The Voyager spacecraft pictures show that the surface of the moon io is completely covered by volcanoes and lavas rather being covered by pitts and craters. this gives the surface a very young look. The main cause of the intense volcanic activity found out here is the strong gravitational force created at the center of the moon from the Jupiter and Europa. Due to the synchronous rotation with Jupiter, solid materials at the surface of io bulges up just like the tidal motions of the oceanic water in the case of Earth. This repeated bulging causes the materials to get hitted up in a manner similar to repeatedly stretching and smashing a clay ball or rubber band. This enormous amount of heat generated in the process melts rock materials at depth and results in widespread volcanisms.

Hypotheses to explain different levels of volcanism:

a) This is very much evident that the volcanic activity is largely driven by the gravitational forces of the Jupiter. If the moons are at different distances from the large planet then the gravitational pull will be also varying for the moons and this will cause differential amount and types of volcanic activity at the moon's surface.

b) In case of io, the moon is largely made up of iron and iron sulphide core and a silicate outer surface. This silicate outer surface of the moon melts down to create the widespread volcanic activity. In case of Europa the outer surface is made up of vast quantity of water and ice. So there is lesser chance of volcanic activity in this moon. So the volcanic activity is greatly controlled by the lithological composition of the moon.

c) There is a vast amount of sulphur present at the interior of io which gets degassed and comes to the surface to create the fierce nature of the volcanisms. These gases are essential for a violent volcanism, and controls the nature and level of volcanism.

In the triangles, Line segment B C is-congruent-to line segment R S and Line segment A C is-congruent-to line segment T S.
forsale [732]

If RT is greater than BA, that correctly compares angles C and S then mAngleC < mAngleS.

<h3>What is the triangle about?</h3>

If two sides of one triangle are said to be congruent to its corresponding sides of other triangle, So one can say that the third side of triangles is based on the angle opposite to third side of the triangles.

Therefore, Since:

BA  <  RT

Then a side RT is said to be greater than the other side BA. So, the angle that is opposite to side RT is also greater than angle opposite side BA.

So therefore, If RT is greater than BA, that correctly compares angles C and S then mAngleC < mAngleS.

1. What country spans both europe and asia?
kondor19780726 [428]
Some countries that span both Europe and Asia include Turkey, Russia and Kazakhstan. They are called trans continental countries. Even though Europe and Asia are continents in their own rites, geographically speaking they span one landmass known as Eurasia. The landmass rests on the tectonic plate known as the Eurasian plate.
