1. Old Faithful is a geyser in Yellowstone National Park. This geyser erupts when hot water from
underground shoots up into the air through an opening in the ground. When this happens, the ground
surrounding the water increases in temperature. What happens to the molecules in the ground when
he temperature increases?

a
More heat molecules combine with the molecules in the ground.

b
The energy of the molecules in the ground decreases.

c
The energy of the molecules in the ground increases.

d
The cold energy of the molecules in the ground decreases.

Please help thanks!!

Answer:

c

Explanation:

i just did the test

The energy of the molecules in the ground increases in the given case when the temperature increases.

• The heat of the Earth is released in both conduction and convection in Yellowstone Park.  

• Conduction takes place when the transferring of heat takes place from something hot to something cold.  

• On the other hand, convection takes place when the transferring of heat takes place by the movement of hot gases or liquids like water, air, or magma to a cooler region.  

• The same phenomenon takes place underneath the Yellowstone. The convection of the molten rock in the magma chamber underneath transfers heat via the caldera of Yellowstone.  

• Near the surface of the ground, the convection of heat water results in the hot springs and geysers in the park.  

Thus, when the temperature increases, the energy of the molecules in the ground also increases resulting in the formation of geysers. The correct answer is option c.
