The Oldest and Youngest Places on Earth

What is the oldest place on the earth? While the earth itself is estimated to be approximately five billion years old, most landforms are not nearly that old. Scientists debate what the oldest landform truly is, but it might be on Baffin Island. On this large northern Canadian island, which falls inside the Arctic Circle, rocks have been found that are believed to be over 4.5 billion years old. If these rocks truly are that old, then they have been around longer than the earth’s crust!

It is hard to believe that any rocks could be older than the outer surface of the earth, but their discovery in 2016 has given scientists some interesting insights about how the earth was created. As melted mantle rose to the surface and the earth’s denser elements sunk toward its center to form its core, most of the first rocks were absorbed into the earth’s inner layers. But not the rock on Baffin Island.

While there is still debate about whether Baffin Island is the oldest place on the earth, there is little question of where one of the youngest is. In December of 2014, an underwater volcano near the Pacific islands of Tonga erupted violently and continued to spurt lava and ash for over a month. When the volcano quieted, there was a new island in its place. Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai, as the island was named, was about one square mile in area and covered in black gravel.

It’s not unusual for small islands to be created by volcanoes, which erupt when the magma of the earth’s mantle breaks through the crust in the form of lava and ash. What is unusual is for those islands to remain longer than five years after they have been created. Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai was expected to dissolve back into the Pacific Ocean shortly after it was formed. But in 2020, the island was not only still around, but had developed a thriving ecosystem. From above, much of the dark gray island is now lush and green, and birds, such as owls and seagulls, make it their home. It is unknown whether the earth’s youngest island will last for long, but it has already exceeded expectations.

What do the earth’s oldest and youngest places have in common? Both were created from volcanic rock. The same type of rock that hardened and remained above ground in Baffin Island also hardened to form Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai more than four billion years later.

What connection does “The Oldest and Youngest Places on Earth” make between volcanic rock in the creation of landforms?

A.It illustrates how volcanic rock contributed to the formation of two islands at different times in the earth's history.

B.It illustrates how the heat and destructive power of volcanic rock prevents the creation of new landforms.

C.It illustrates how volcanic rock on Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai brought a thriving ecosystem to the surface.

D.It illustrates how volcanic rock plays a role in the creation of some islands, but not others.

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

Volcanic rock creates islands and different islands are created at different times from either volcanic eruptions or just flowing lava coming from the volcano :)

Answer:

A) It illustrates how volcanic rock contributed to the formation of two islands at different times in the earth's history.

pleeeeeeeeeze help Which three lines in this excerpt from Susan Glaspell’s “A Jury of Her Peers” contribute to the story’s setting?
When Martha Hale opened the storm-door and got a cut of the north wind, she ran back for her big woolen scarf. As she hurriedly wound that round her head her eye made a scandalized sweep of her kitchen. It was no ordinary thing that called her away—it was probably further from ordinary than anything that had ever happened in Dickson County. But what her eye took in was that her kitchen was in no shape for leaving: her bread all ready for mixing, half the flour sifted and half unsifted.She hated to see things half done; but she had been at that when the team from town stopped to get Mr. Hale, and then the sheriff came running in to say his wife wished Mrs. Hale would come too—adding, with a grin, that he guessed she was getting scary and wanted another woman along. So she had dropped everything right where it was.
"Martha!" now came her husband's impatient voice. "Don't keep folks waiting out here in the cold."

Nights and Dragons—
From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne
I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed.

The text discusses the Chinese calendar by writing, "Dragons are included along with eleven real animals."

What does that imply? (5 points)

Dragons are the only fake animal on the Chinese calendar.
Dragons are not the only fake animal on the Chinese calendar.
Dragons are real because all the other animals on the calendar are fake.
Dragons are real because all the other animals on the calendar are real.

the foul atmosphere, and then went on.
