Answer:

B

Explanation:

Water is very good at absorbing heat, making it incredibly unlikely that the heat from a volcanic explosion will spread thousands of miles.

The addition of lava into the ocean would not be significant enough to raise sea levels on the other side of the ocean without there being significantly larger problems (like the planet being cracked).

Volcanic eruptions do result in tectonic plate movement, but it is unlikely that an eruption thousands of miles away will trigger any noticeable change.

This leaves B, which describes the phenomenon believed to have killed the dinosaurs and to have caused major climate abnormalities in 1816. When large amounts of ash go into the atmosphere, they are spread by air currents in the same way a hurricane can travel from Africa to North America. The ash cloud would obscure the Sun, reducing the amount of solar radiation reaching the surface and thus decreasing temperatures.

What is the preferred method for assessing heart rate during chest compressions?
Dmitry [639]
An electronic cardiac monitor is the preferred method for assessing heart rate during chest compressions. While a person is performing chest compressions on a patient, he or she is hooked up to the electronic cardiac monitor so that the doctor can see exactly how fast the patient's heart is pumping blood. Cardiac monitoring is the best method do assess this.

Which of the following best explains why a structural formula of a chemical compound is more useful than a molecular formula?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer: Both formulas identify the specific atoms in a particular compound. However, a structural formula also shows how the atoms in a compound are bonded together.

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Structural formula is the formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound by showing the bonding between the atoms.

Lewis structures show the valence electrons around each atom present in the compound.

I don’t think it would change the effectiveness , if bees got used to it or it had always been like that, they wouldn’t have a problem, but if it was a sudden change then they might dislike it

Of all the organisms that are living today what percentage will eventually become fossils
Pani-rosa [81]

✯Hello✯☆(❁‿❁)☆

↪  I think its from 6%-10% of living organisms today that will become fossils

↪  Animals have a less likely chance since they have parts that are difficult to become fossils (like teeth, bones)

↪  Plants may decompose and go underwater to be used as Crude Oil

↪  Most of the population are humans, which will be extremely hard to fossilise

HOPE THIS HELPS
