On May 18, 1980, a massive eruption of Mt. St. Helens in Washington State sent a huge plume of ash more than 50,000 feet into the air. Over the next two weeks, the ash traveled around the world. To move that far, the ash would've had to:_____.
a. reach into the stratosphere.b. dissolve in the nitrogen of the air.c. bind to aerosols in the lithosphere.d. combine with moisture in the troposphere.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b. dissolve in the nitrogen of the air.

Explanation:

We can say that volcanic ash travels long distances when mixed with nitrogen in the air. Nitrogen is one of the most prevalent elements in the air and that is why it is so easy for ash to move. Furthermore, this is why they are so harmful to humans, as they can be breathed.

Volcanic ash can be moved through the air in large quantities, when this happens, the event is called a plume of ash, as it promotes the movement of real ash columns.

B.) arguing that Saudi culture has corrupted Americans

C.)pointing to the U.S. military presence on islamic soil

D.)pointing out that the united states does not buy enough Saudi oil

Answers

Answer:

Pointing to the US military presence on Islamic soil.

Explanation:

Al-Qaeda is a terrorist organization that reached its peak during the early 2000s, but since then has gradually been in decline. The leader of al-Qaeda was Osama bin Laden, a billionaire that had big influence and aspirations for the formation of one united Islamic Caliphate. This organization was a terrorist one, as it used violence and attacks on civilians and objects by having a political background.

While al-Qaeda has been on the scene before 2001, it wasn't that well known globally until this year, and what made it famous was the attack on the Twin Towers in New York, USA. It was a horrific attack in which two huge objects were leveled with the ground and a lot of innocent civilians lost their lives or got injured. Al-Qaeda stated that the reason for this act was because of the military presence of the US on Islamic soil, as well as their interference in the internal matters of the Islamic states and trying to control the region.

(c) People do not respect you unless you

(d) Self respect and respecting others are

Answers

Answer:

a) You need to respect your friends so that they respect you.

Explanation:

The popular saying is related to the golden rule, which states that you should treat others in the same way you would want them to treat you. For example, if you want people to respect you, you have to respect them first.

Respecting yourself doesn't necessarily mean others will respect you. This makes choice b incorrect.

The saying doesn't talk about self-esteem, thus making choice c incorrect.

The saying doesn't show the relationship between "self-respect" and "respecting others." This makes choice d incorrect.

What ate the four types of general landforms how do geographers define them and what are the characteristics of each one?

Answers

Answer:

Mountains, hills, plateaus, and plains are the four major types of landforms. Minor landforms include buttes, canyons, valleys, and basins. Most geologists classify a mountain as a landform that rises at least 1,000 feet (300 meters) or more above its surrounding area. A hill is a landform that is higher than the surrounding land and has a visible summit; they're like mountains, only shorter. A plateau is a flat, elevated landform that rises sharply above the surrounding area on at least one side. A plain is a broad area of relatively flat land.
