What is used to classify volcanoes based on the strength of their eruptions?

Biology
1 answer:
Firdavs [7]3 years ago
6 0

The answer you are looking for is the VEI scale, also known as the Volcanic Explosivity Index. The scale ranges from 1-8. Volcanic eruptions are classified due to how much volcanic material is ejected into the atmosphere, the height of the plume cloud, and how long the eruptions last. For example, the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815 was a VEI 7 and caused the year without a summer. Volcanic eruptions in VEI 6 and 7 ranges are really rare, but VEI 8 eruptions are the rarest. VEI 8 eruptions are known as super eruptions, and they happen around every 100,000 years. Sorry, I got a little bit carried away. But, anyways, the VEI scale is the correct answer.

These organelle(s) are the location of anabolic reactions to synthesize gene expression products in a eukaryotic cell.__________
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

<h2>The organelles are mitochondria and chloroplasts.</h2>

Explanation:

<em>The mitochondria and chloroplasts play a major role in energy conversion that helps to synthezise gene expression products. They were essential to the evolution of present day eukaryotes.  These specialized structures are enclosed by double membranes, and they are believed to have originated back when all living thing on Earth were single-celled organisms. The proposed origin of mithocondria and chloroplasts is known as the endosymbiotic hypothesis.</em>

<em>The mithocondria is considered the powerhouses of the cell, it enables eukaryotes to make more efficient use of food sources than their prokaryotic counterparts. Within the eukaryotic cells, mithocondria works like batteries, because they convert energy from one form to another.</em>

<em>The eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum, the golgi apparatus and lysosomes. </em>

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

c.  mores; taboo

Explanation:

The concept of mores can be defined as a social norms that are largely observed and are considered to have greater moral significance than others. Mores include an aversion for societal taboos such as murder. The mores of a society usually predicate legislation reinforcing their taboos. In the case of Jeffery Dahmer, convicting murder is an act of violation of Mores.

A taboo is an implicit prohibition on something based on a cultural sense that it is excessively repulsive or, perhaps, too sacred for ordinary people. Such prohibitions are present in virtually all societies. Eating the flesh of another human as Jeffery Dahmer normally does violates the cultural sense and tradition of the society.

THEREFORE, as such we conclude that option C is right.

Folkways are typically the conventions of everyday life.

In ethics, Value is the way of life. Value connotes the degree of importance of an action, with the aim of determining what actions are best to do or what way is best to live, or to describe the significance of different actions.

Belief is the attitude that something is the case or true. In epistemology, it refers to the term "belief" to refer to personal attitudes associated with true or false ideas and concepts.
