The correct answer is: C) New mountains are created through tectonic and volcanic activity.

There are three ways in which mountains are formed, therefore there are three different types of mountains: volcanic, fold and block mountains.

It is important to say that these always involve plate tectonics, were huge "compressional forces, isostatic uplift and igneous (magma) matter, forces surface rock upward". In this way a landform higer than the surroundings is created, that is to say: a mountain.

There is no way a mountain is created by one of the other options given.

Kitty [74]

Answer: television is an attention grabber it’s loud, it’s colorful, and it’s distracting.

Explanation: The reason for this is our brains process information but not all of us have a great attention span for instance those of us who have watched TV often enough will begin to mimic things we see on TV we store that information into our brain for longer than we would if someone had just explained it face-to-face.

Anarel [89]

Answer: Food and Drug Administration

Explanation:

In the United States of America, the governance and control of the fish industry tends to fall under the administration of Food and Drug Administration. Hence, the administration of this particular industry is difficult when the fish that are caught are by independent and unregistered fisherman. This is mostly  carried out in the wild and hence the Food and Drug Administration is not able to regulate it properly.

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

There will be 16 people who are both writer and editor

Explanation:

We have given there are total of 100 people

So total = 100

There are 45 writers so,Writers = 45;

It is given that there are more than 38 editors so ,Editors > 38

Both = x;

Neither = 2x

We know that

Total = Writers + Editors - Both + Neither  

100 = 45 + Editors - x + 2x

x = 55 - Editors

We want to maximize x, thus we should minimize Editors minimum possible value of Editors is 39, thus:

x = Both = 55 - 39 = 16.

gtnhenbr [62]

The correct answer is - This research would be eligible for exemption because the researcher is not interacting with the children and the playground is a public setting. This type of research does not need IRB (IRB being institutional review board also known as ethics committee) review because the researcher will not be interacting with the children in anyway, it is purely observational and the setting is a public place, in addition all children will remain anonymous in the study, therefore the researcher is not breaking any code of ethics.
