Peat deposits are found in waterlogged places where dead plant material piles up. when peat is buried, it undergoes compaction. it is subjected to heat and pressure for a long time, and a lot of water is squeezed out during this process. nearly ten vertical feet of original peat material becomes one vertical foot of coal. which of these remains unchanged in the system during the conversion of peat to coal? a) area b) density c) mass d) volume

Option C, Mass

Explanation:

The mass of a substance remains constant. Here the ten vertical feet of peat material consisted of only one vertical foot of substantial coal/carbon deposits the remaining nine vertical feet of peat material had water which drained out during compaction through the course of time.

Thus except mass, all three i.e volume, density and area of a ten vertical feet of peat deposits must have changed when the said quantity reduced to one vertical foot of peat.

Thus, option C is correct.

interphase   is the cell cycle stage in which the cell acquires nutrients, creates and uses proteins and other molecules and starts the process of cell division by replicating the dna. it is the longest stage in the eukaryote cell cycle.

the following   can go wrong during interphase:   a base pair could be mismatched during the duplication process causing a mutation.   correct answer: c

explanation:

scientists have discovered that hiv does not cause aids by the virus's direct effect on the host's immune cells, but rather through the cells' lethal influence on one another. researchers from the gladstone institutes have revealed that hiv does not cause aids by the virus's
