Answer:
C. It blocked out sunlight
Explanation:
The asteroid impact 65 million years ago was devastating for lot of the animals and plants, resulting in a mass extinction, most noticeably of the dinosaurs. The impact itself killed a lot of flora and fauna, but it was the effect afterward that was crucial. From this impact, there was so much debris propelled into the atmosphere that the sunlight got blocked. Once this happened, most of the plants died out as they were not able to perform photosynthesis. Because the plants were dying out, the herbivores were left without food, so soon they followed, and because the herbivores died out, the predators died out to because they were left without food. The winners turned out to be the small and not specialized plants and animals.
Answer: The correct option is C ( is very hard and burns cleanly).
Explanation:
COAL is a form of rock that is made up of mostly carbon amongst other elements which includes sulphur, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. There are different types of coal which include:
--> anthracite ( 90% carbon)
--> bituminous coal ( 70-90% carbon)
--> lignite ( 60- 70% carbon) and
--> peat (60 % carbon).
Anthracite is the type of coal that contains the highest carbon content ( 90% carbon). This makes it very hard and is often a times referred to as HARD COAL. Anthracite is a higher quality coal for domestic and open fire heating. This is because it contains less impurities than other type of coal and thereby making it to BURN CLEANLY avoiding atmospheric pollution.
The heat lost by the metal should be equal to the heat
gained by the water. We know that the heat capacity of water is simply 4.186 J
/ g °C. Therefore:
100 g * 4.186 J / g °C * (31°C – 25.1°C) = 28.2 g * Cp *
(95.2°C - 31°C)
<span>Cp = 1.36 J / g °C</span>
B. Copper since the rest of the choices are compounds. Copper is an element.
