A. Basically a hotspot forms above a mantle plume. A mantle plume is like a bit of magma from the earths mantle, but it’s like not near tectonic plate boundary things. (Sorry if that doesn’t make sense lol if you’re still confused I’d just look up a diagram of a hotspot)

B. A stratovolcano, those are just volcanos that are built with a bunch of lava and ash

C. Mt. Helens is formed on a subduction plate boundary, while a hotspot is formed because of mantle plumes, which are usually not on a plate boundary.

Hope this helps lol

A population of ground squirrels lives in underground burrows several miles from an ocean shore. If a hurricane strikes the shor
Travka [436]

Answer:

flooding

Explanation:

The hurricane brings in enormous amounts of rainfall with it, often resulting in flooding. The ground squirrels in this scenario live relatively close to the ocean shore. They live in burrows, spending big portion of their time in them, as well as having their young ones sheltered in them. The heavy rainfall and the flooding of the area will result in filling the burrows with water. The damage for the population of ground squirrels will be enormous, with their young ones all drowning for sure, and the majority of the adults getting drowned as well, or maybe even all of them. Hope this helps!!!!!

The placement of prokaryotes into major clades within the domains Archaea and Bacteria has been based on __________.
Alja [10]

Answer:

Molecular evidence

Explanation:

Earlier archaea were considered as bacteria because they show some similarities with bacteria like binary fission as mode of reproduction, lack of a nucleus, etc.

Later Carl Woese separated bacteria in a different domain and divide prokaryote into two domains called bacteria and archaea. He separated archaea from bacteria on molecules evidence.

He compaired rRNA sequence between bacteria and archaea and observed that they both differ in rRNA sequence which allowed him to make a separate domain for archaea.
