Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

Answer: When necessary, computer models replace field observations and experiments to test hypotheses. Computer programs describe the natural processes by mathematical equations and set the values for material properties and rates of processes that are difficult or impossible to control in the laboratory. However, even computer simulations have limitations, not only because of uncertainties in values for deep-Earth materials and processes, but also because they require immense computing power to simulate what happens within the huge volume of Earth during long periods of geologic time.

Malaria was not eliminated in the United States until 1951. The term eliminated means that no new cases arise in a country for 3 years.

Did you know?

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates's recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.

To maintain good kidney function, you should drink at least 3 quarts of water daily. Water dilutes urine and helps prevent concentrations of salts and minerals that can lead to kidney stone formation. Chronic dehydration is a major contributor to the development of kidney stones.

Did you know?

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.
