Question

On the planet Yevov, there is a large volcano that will soon erupt. Six months ago, the land at the base of the volcano had a height of 1.2 × 10^(1) . Now the land at the base of the volcano has a height of 1.1 × 10^(2)

-Kilometers
-Centimeters
-Years
-Liters

Answer 1

Volcano heights are measured in kilometers, not centimeters, years or liters. So, the land's height increased from 1.2 to 11 kilometers, supporting a volcanic eruption.

The units must be a measure of distance and relevant to the context of a volcano's height.

Kilometers makes the most sense as volcanoes are measured in kilometers, so the height increased from 1.2 km to 11 km.

Centimeters is too small a unit for a volcano's height, making the change unrealistic.

Years and Liters are not units of distance and are irrelevant to the context.

Therefore, the answer is Kilometers.
