The external crust of the Earth consists of a series of tectonic plates moving on the planet's surface. Often volcanoes are created in regions where the plates come together. Volcanoes also can grow in the middle of a rock, which is named "Hot Spot," where the magma rises up until it bursts on the sea floor. A hot spot in the center of the Pacifical Rock is created on the Hawaiians Islands. The plate shifts, while the hot spot remains set. So the chain of the islands that comprise the Hawaiian Island chain was formed when this plate moved over the hot spot.

hope it helps! <3

La escuela económica que postula el uso eficiente de recursos escasos ante necesidades humanas ilimitadas, es la: A)Austriaca B)
denis23 [38]

Answer:

La opción correcta es C. Clásica.

Explanation:

La economía clásica, o economía política clásica, es una forma de pensar en economía que se ocupa de cuestiones relacionadas con el crecimiento económico. La economía clásica significó la transición del mercantilismo a la economía moderna.

Los teóricos económicos clásicos creían en la autorregulación de los mercados sin intervención externa. Adam Smith se refirió a la llamada "mano invisible" que dirige los mercados hacia su equilibrio natural sin la necesidad de la intervención del gobierno. Contrariamente a la teoría económica lingüística, la teoría económica clásica asume flexibilidad tanto en beneficios como en precios. La segunda premisa básica se basa en la ley de Say: la oferta crea demanda para sí misma, lo que significa que la producción genera ingresos suficientes para comprar todos los bienes producidos. Otra piedra angular de la teoría clásica es el supuesto de igualdad de ahorro e inversión, que debería garantizarse mediante tipos de interés flexibles.

2) What is the vapor pressure in the art gallery when the relative humidity dropped to 269070

RH = (VP/SVP)*100  26 (VP/23.4) *100 = 6.084

3) What was the dewpoint temperature in the art gallery when the relative humidity dropped to 26%?

Td= 68- ((100-26)/5) = 53.2

Which statements support the claim that Jenner has been given credit for starting and spreading the practice of immunization? Je
Anna11 [10]

Two statements support the claim that Jenner has been given credit for starting and spreading the practice of immunization:

  1. Jenner became interested in the protective effects of cowpox during his apprenticeship. Here, we are told that Edward Jenner started working on ways to defend the body against diseases as early as during his apprenticeship when he was a teenager. He had been told that farm workers who had contracted cowpox were immune to the smallpox epidemic which was spreading across Europe at the time. He then started working on a vaccine containing cowpox.
  2. Jenner made the first step to erase smallpox. This first step was to try his new smallpox vaccine on a child in 1796. The child did not catch smallpox. In order to get recognition and validation from the authorities, Jenner administered his vaccine to 22 more people, with success.
