Read the passage below and use the information to answer the question that follows. Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese navigator and sailor who sailed for Spain, was the first European to find a waterway between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and sail across the Pacific. He was the first person to lead a voyage completely around the world, proving that the Earth is round. In September 1519, Magellan left from southwestern Spain in command of five ships and a crew of over 250. The expedition sailed across the Atlantic and down the eastern coast of South America. As they sailed, they explored large rivers looking for the waterway that would connect them to the Pacific. When cold weather and winter storms forced them to camp near the southern tip of the continent, Magellan had serious problems to contend with. One of his ships was destroyed while exploring the area. A group of sailors unhappy with the length and danger of the trip attempted to take control of the expedition and return to Spain. Magellan put down this mutiny attempt by force, beheading the leader and leaving other members of the mutiny behind when the expedition continued. In October 1520, over a year after leaving Spain, they discovered the passage to the Pacific—a passage now called the Strait of Magellan. It took over a month to sail through the narrow, cold, stormy strait. During the passage through the strait one of Magellan’s ships deserted and returned to Spain. On November 28, the three remaining ships sailed out of the strait and into the ocean. Magellan named the ocean Pacifico (Pacific) which means peaceful because, compared to the tumultuous strait they had just been through, the ocean was amazingly calm. Since no European had previously crossed the Pacific, Earth’s largest stretch of ocean, Magellan and his crew had no idea how big it was and how long it would be before they would again see land. As they sailed month after month, their situation became desperate. Much of the crew became sick from scurvy, a disease caused by lack of vitamin C. Food supplies were not adequate for such a long voyage and those who not killed by scurvy were reduced to eating rats, shoe leather, and sawdust to survive. After over three months of sailing, Magellan’s expedition arrived in the islands now known as the Philippines. In the several weeks they stayed in the Philippines to recover Magellan and members of his crew became close to the islanders. Magellan converted some to Christianity. In April 1521 Magellan was killed while participating in a battle between rival groups on the island of Mactan. Based on the passage above, what does tumultuous mean? A. rough and uncertain B. calm and peaceful C. fun and exciting D. dull and boring Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

Answer:

                                     Cinder Cone Volcanoes

these are the simplest type of volcano. They occur when particles and blobs of lava are ejected from a volcanic vent. The lava is blown violently into the air, and the pieces rain down around the vent. Over time, this builds up a circular or oval-shaped cone, with a bowl-shaped crater at the top. Cinder cone volcanoes rarely grow larger than about 1,000 feet above their surroundings.

                                   Composite Volcanoes:

Composite volcanoes, or stratovolcanoes make up some of the world’s most memorable mountains: Mount Rainier, Mount Fuji, and Mount Cotopaxi, for example. These volcanoes have a conduit system inside them that channels magma from deep within the Earth to the surface. They can have clusters of vents, with lava breaking through walls, or issuing from fissures on the sides of the mountain. With all this material coming out, they can grow thousands of meters tall. As we’ve seen with the famous Mount Saint Helens, composite volcanoes can explode violently.

                                    Shield Volcanoes:

These are large, broad volcanoes that look like shields from above – hence the name. The lava that pours out of shield volcanoes is thin, so it can travel for great distances down the shallow slopes of the volcano. These volcanos build up slowly over time, with hundreds of eruptions, creating many layers. They’re not likely to explode catastrophically. Perhaps the best known shield volcanoes are the ones that make up the Hawaiian Islands, especially Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea.

                                        Lava Domes:

Volcanic or lava domes are created by small masses of lava which are too viscous (thick) to flow very far. Unlike shield volcanoes, with low-viscosity lava, the magma from volcanic domes just pile up over and around the vent. The dome grows by expansion of the lava within, and the mountain forms from material spilling off the sides of the growing dome. Lava domes can explode violently, releasing a huge amount of hot rock and ash.

Answer:

1. Will power plant building be earthquake proof?

2. Will the chemicals placed in the power plant be enough secure that it does not leak or are prone to any explosion?

3. What are the chances of the site facing an earthquake?

Explanation:

1. Will power plant building be earthquake proof?

The building should be secure for the scientists working there and for the chemicals placed in there, if the site faces an earthquake an earthquake building may collapse and can result in explosions of the chemicals.

2. Will the chemicals placed in the power plant be enough secure that it does not leak or are prone to any explosion?

The chemicals placed in the power plant needs to be secured in a place where no unauthenticated entrance is allowed and if any earthquake hits the chemicals do not spill out or mix up which may result in explosions.

3. What are the chances of the site facing an earthquake?

Having a probability study before constructing a power plant is important, a complete chart should be made which shows the probability of this site hitting earthquake this study may be based on past results.

Answer:

The correct option is d

d. 2 billion years old.

Explanation:

The general formula to for the half life on an element is given as:

[tex]N(t)=N_o~ (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t(1/2)}}[/tex]

Where

N(t) = Quantity of the substance remaining.

N(o) = Quantity of the substance which was initially present

t = time elapsed

t(1/2) = half life of the substance

In this question, we have to find t using the above formula, where

N(t) = 1/16

N(o) = 1

t(1/2) = 500

Substitute in the given formula:

[tex]1=\frac{1}{16}~ (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{500}}\\\text{Solve the equation for t}\\t = 2000[/tex]

Hence, the time planet has been into existence, or how old the planet is:

t = 2000 million years

or

t = 2 billion years

Answer:

In late winter with snow covered ground and a southeasterly wind advection fog could develop at Atlanta’s International Airport (located in the US Southeast, over 200 miles from the ocean) to create low visibility and flight delays. This is because when warmer air from the ocean moves to the land surfaces where the Atlanta’s International Airport is built on, it comes in contact with it .

When the air cools, the temperature reduces to the dew point temperature. This allows for increase in saturation levels necessary in the production of fogs.
