A scientist observes hot water erupting from a vent in the Earth.



What most likely caused the water to rise and erupt from the vent?

The vent was lower than the water table.
A well was drilled into a pressurized aquifer.
A well with a mechanical pump was installed.
The water was heated by magma or hot rocks.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - The water was heated by magma or hot rocks.

Explanation:

The hot water that is erupting from the vents comes from the geologic activity inside the Earth. The water that is deeper into the ground, where there's geologic activities around the area, gets heated by the magma or hot rocks, was results in increasing the pressure, thus the water is shoot out in the air, looking like the vents are erupting.

Most of the vents like this can be found in areas that are close to a volcano, or are connected with a volcano through underground channels.

When the water in the earth's water table is heated by molten magma (that is hot molten rocks) it vaporizes the water and pushes it towards the earth's surface. This kind of vent is called a Geyser.

Where are Geysers found?

Most of the Geysers on earth are very rare to find. The few (about 300) that exist are found in Yellowstone Park in the western parts of the United States of America.

There are also about 200 in Russia, 40 in New Zealand, 16 in Iceland, and 50 in other parts of the world.

Thus, the answer is D.

Answers

Answer:

geyser

Explanation:

The water feature shown by the image is a geyser.

Geyser are natural feature that ejects a column of hot water, steam or vapor into the atmosphere.

Geysers are usually formed in areas of active volcanic and tectonic activities. When surface water comes in contact with a very hot body in formations, they become pressurized and rises up. They then become forcefully ejected through rock cavities and joints. This forced ejection leads to a head of water rising above the surrounding area.

What most likely caused the water to rise and erupt from the vent?

The vent was lower than the water table.
A well was drilled into a pressurized aquifer.
A well with a mechanical pump was installed.
The water was heated by magma or hot rocks.

Answers

Answer:

The water was heated by magma or hot rocks.

Explanation:

There are many places in the world where there are hot springs or geyzers. One thing that can be noticed about their distribution though is that they are very close to plate boundaries or close to hot spots. The reason for such a distribution is that volcanic activity is what causes their existence.

When there is groundwater near a volcano, there is a high chance that it will be hot and that in some cases it will be spectacularly propelled in the air. This happens because the magma directly heats up the water, or it heats up the rocks which heat up the water, so the water gains on temperature, lot of pressure builds up and comes out on the surface as hot water. Also, warm springs occur in palces where there aren't active volcanoes but there were some in the past, but because there is still higher temperature in the crust, they have higher temperatures.

The water was heated by magma or hot rocks. Option D.

An atom of the element chromium has an atomic number of 24 and a mass number of 52. How many electrons are in an uncharged atom or chromium.

Answers

Answer:

24

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Atomic number = 24

Mass number  = 52

Unknown:

Number of electrons in the uncharged atom of chromium = ?

Solution:

In an uncharged atom of chromium, the number of protons and electrons are the same.

Once we can find the number protons, we can simply equate it to the number of electrons.

Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. Therefore, since the atomic number is 24, the number of protons likewise is 24;

Number of electrons is 24
