gamma emission

Q: Stress building up at the same rate over time at a fault causes what phenomenon? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: When an earthquake will occur is much more difficult to predict. Stress on a fault builds up at the same rate over time. So earthquakes should occur at regular intervals. But, so far, scientists cannot predict when quakes will occur even to within a few years. Around Parkfield, California, an earthquake of magnitude 6.0 or higher occurs about every 22 years. So seismologists predicted that one would strike in 1993. But that quake came in 200411 years late ( Figure below ). Choices: - erosion - volcanoes - storms - earthquakes A:
earthquakes

Q: Q: Which type of substance is considered a proton donor in a reaction? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The Arrhenius definition of acids and bases is somewhat limited. There are some compounds whose properties suggest that they are either acidic or basic, but which do not qualify according to the Arrhenius definition. An example is ammonia (NH 3 ). Its aqueous solution turns litmus blue, it reacts with acids, and displays all the other properties of a base. However, it does not contain the hydroxide ion. In 1923, a broader definition of acids and bases was independently proposed by Danish chemist Johannes Brnsted (1879-1947) and English chemist Thomas Lowry (1874-1936). A Brnsted-Lowry acid is a molecule or ion that donates a hydrogen ion in a reaction. A Brnsted-Lowry base is a molecule or ion that accepts a hydrogen ion in a reaction. A hydrogen ion is commonly referred to as a proton, and so acids and bases are proton donors and proton acceptors respectively according to the Brnsted-Lowry definition. All substances that are categorized as acids and bases under the Arrhenius definition are also defined as such under the Brnsted-Lowry definition. The new definition, however, includes some substances that are left out according to the Arrhenius definition. Choices: - base - carbon - oxygen - acid A:
A: acid
