A class is identifying the features in the map above. Student 1 thinks that X is a seamount and Student 2 thinks that X is a volcanic island. Who is correct and why? A. Student 1 because a seamount rises above the ocean surface.
B. Student 1 because a seamount does not rise above ocean surface.
C. Student 2 because a volcanic island rises above the ocean surface.
D. Student 2 because a volcanic island does not rise above ocean surface.

B. Student 1 because a seamount does not rise above ocean surface.

Explanation:

To find - A class is identifying the features in the map above. Student 1 thinks that X is a seamount and Student 2 thinks that X is a volcanic island. Who is correct and why?

Reason -

We know that,

If a volcano does not reach the surface of the ocean, it is called a seamount.

If a volcano grows in height and volume enough to reach the ocean’s surface, it becomes a volcanic island.

So,

The correct option is - B. Student 1 because a seamount does not rise above ocean surface.

answer: accepted answer: aquatic animals use the oxygen dissolved in water to carry out respiration. since the amount of dissolved oxygen in water is low as compared to the amount of oxygen in the air, therefore the rate of breathing in aquatic animals is much faster than it is in terrestrial animals.
