Which is the best term to use when describing the energy of position? chemical kinetic potential electromagnetic

Potential Energy

Explanation:

An object can store energy as the result of its position. For example, the heavy ball of a demolition machine is storing energy when it is held at an elevated position. This stored energy of position is referred to as potential energy. Similarly, a drawn bow is able to store energy as the result of its position. When assuming its usual position (i.e., when not drawn), there is no energy stored in the bow. Yet when its position is altered from its usual equilibrium position, the bow is able to store energy by virtue of its position. This stored energy of position is referred to as potential energy. Potential energy is the stored energy of position possessed by an object.

Option (A), (C) and (D)

Explanation:

Shield volcanoes are generally characterized gentle slopes, and are dome shaped, resembling the shield that is used by the ancient warriors. This type of volcano produces magma that are basaltic in nature and have no silica content. So they can flow easily. The layers are often formed due to the gentle eruption of lava that solidifies. These volcanoes are not explosive but they can turn into a violent one if it comes in contact with water. They occur along the Pacific's ring of fire. The amount of pyroclastic materials is less than the total amount of lava it releases during a volcanic eruption.

Thus, the correct answers are options (A), (C) and (D).
