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.

Elza [17]
Darwin lived in a time where natural selection was a strange theory among scientists and researchers. This was especially true when other researcher Lamarck argued that organisms passed on helpful traits to their offspring, that they magically could form a new trait to adapt to their environment and then pass it onto their offspring. For example, if a giraffe was too short to reach food, it would grow a larger neck in its lifetime and then pass that trait onto its offspring. Darwin argued that, through the process of survival of the fittest, that short giraffe would die off and never receive the chance to pass on its shortness to future populations. Thus, taller giraffes would survive— they can reach food, shorter giraffes can’t— and the short genes would disappear. The fact that Darwin was introducing a new theory that nobody was used to at the time was peculiar, so he had few people on his side until long after his observations.
Another problem Darwin had was the lack of technology. To travel, Darwin would have to use boats to reach far away places, and of course, this took time.
The final problem Darwin had was the extra time it took for evolution, a process that can take up to millions of years. Evolution didn’t occur over night— it took time for Darwin to conduct experiments, observe, conduct them again, come to a conclusion, and so on.
