Explanation:

Entomology is not a branch of earth science because it does not include the study of the earth and the various physical, chemical process that undergoes in it. But it deals with the study of insects.

A scientific inquiry includes the following steps-

Mere observation is made and related questions are asked. It collects the required information and a hypothesis is created. This hypothesis must be tested performing various experiments and lastly, conclusions are needed to be drawn.  So experiments should be done but it must be controlled one.

Initially, a volcano tends to be an active one because of the significant rise in height due to the upward pressure exerted by the magma. These volcanoes after several episodic volcanic eruptions become dormant that means volcanic eruption has not taken place for a long time, but if magma intrusion is more then it might generate again. In the final stage, it becomes extinct and no more volcanic eruptions take place.

Sand dunes are formed due to the erosion and deposition of sediments in a region where there is abundant sands. These are the regions of sand accumulation and it has two sides, the windward slope, and the leeward slope. From the windward slope side, the wind blows and carries sediments towards the leeward side. Whereas loess is the depositional features formed due to the accumulation of sand and silt.

A tiltmeter is an instrument often used by the geologists to calculate the vertical displacement of a fault.

Thus, the correct answers are given above.

from almost the creation of the first true maps of the earth, people started seeing how continents would be able to fit together.   in particular, people noticed that south america fits almost exactly into africa.

you should be aware that while world maps were around early in the 1600’s and better defined by the end of the 1700’s, those maps were not ‘public’ but were treated as state secrets.   and so it was not till much later that the broader ‘science’ community had access to good quality and accurate world maps.

get the whole story here…

it is now known that most of the major continental masses can be fit together in a jigsaw process.   in fact we now know that the continents were indeed once all joined together as one land mass – the supercontinent of pangaea.

if you look at most world maps you will ponder how this is evidence, as the continents really don’t appear to ‘fit’ together very well.   what you need to understand is that the vast majority of maps are drawn using a map projection that has the north and south poles (which are points) are a line the width of the map at the top and bottom.   this means that the map distorts the true shape of the earth’s land and oceans as you love closer to the poles.     some other map projections distort less, but have the map shape looking like segments of an orange.   see here for a range of map projections.   check out the way greenland changes size in each!

what is more remarkable, is the next piece of evidence when added to the shape of continents.

location of mountains and fossils

what is remarkable, when you reassemble all the continents together, the ancient mountain ranges (many now eroded to their cores) and the location of rock types and fossils all match up.

starchy vegetables are high in carbohydrates.

starchy vegetables contain more carbohydrates than non-starchy vegetables.

explanation:

there are two primary categories of carbohydrates, essentially differentiated on the basis of their carbohydrate content (which is in the form of starch - a complex carbohydrate):

those vegetables which contain little amounts of starch are termed as non-starchy vegetables, and some examples include: artichokes, broccoli and bean sprouts.

vegetables high in their starch content are distinguished as starchy vegetables, and some examples include: potatoes, chickpeas and corn.
