Answer:

Router        

Explanation:

  • A router is a network device that forwards data packets between networks. Its a network layer hardware device. For example a DSL router that connects to the Internet through an internet service provider.
  • Router is connects at least 2 networks (can be two LANs) and the ISP.
  • Router is used to transfer data from one network to another if both networks use same protocols.
  • It receives data in packets form and forwards the data to another router using a routing table. These data packets can be sent between devices or from devices to the internet.
  • The routing table is used to choose the optimal path for forwarding the packets between the source and destination hosts. Routing table configure the best route a packet can take to reach its destination using routing protocols. A Routing Protocol defines how routers connect with each other and share information that makes them choose routes on a computer network between source and destination. Routing tables can be configured statically (routes are fed manually) or dynamically (routes are updated based on information obtained  from other routers).
  • Router makes sure that the data packets reach right destination instead of being lost within the network and it also strengthen signals before transmitting them.
  • Routers reduce broadcast traffic. They form boundaries between broadcast domains and separate a network into multiple broadcast domains.
  • Router do not broadcast traffic and eliminates the packet when it detects a broadcast address. Routers also stop broadcast messages and don't route a broadcast message between broadcast domains.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Farmers are always both directly and indirectly connected to each other

Their network is mostly strong

Networks become weak only on the edges (ends) of the river but doesn't completely dimnish

With the available network length, the center of river bank forms the strongest network of all and becomes a key player in defining the balance property of overall network

The network is very well structurally balanced and we can see that through the below image

20 miles 10 20 30 40 50

See attachment file for diagram

Considering the total length of river as 50miles and and the center of the whole length will be at 25th mile. From that point, if we consider a farmer will be be having friends for a length of 20miles both along upstream and downstream.

By this he'll be in friend with people who are around 80% of the total population. As me move from this point the integrity increases and this results in a highly balanced structural network.

Answer:

2. Scientists use seismometers to measure the earthquake activity that occurs beneath a volcano. They then predict the eruption of that volcano.

Explanation:

The options are:

1. Before a volcano erupts, earthquake activity beneath the volcano decreases.2. Scientists use seismometers to measure the earthquake activity that occurs beneath a volcano. They then predict the eruption of that volcano.3. When a volcano erupts, the amount of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide emitted decreases. 4.Scientists measure the amount of these gases to determine the amount of magma present in the volcanic reservoir.

The answer is certainly 2. as seismometers are being used to find out the details of the earthquake activities which occur inside a volcano. And with this information, the volcanologists then predict the eruption of that particular volcano. Hence, the 2nd option does not have any factual errors, and all the others have factual errors.
