Which of the following statements is FALSE?
a Oil drillers correctly anticipated that oil could be found beneath salt dome formations.
b. The Beaumont/Houston region was the first of the oil producing regions in Texas.
c. Some oil speculators found natural gas instead of oil when they were drilling.
d. East Texas was never able to establish itself as an oil producing region in Texas.

Some oil speculators found natural gas instead of oil when they were drilling.

Explanation:

Salt domes serve as oil and natural gas reservoirs, sources of sulfur, sources of salt, underground storage sites for oil and natural gas, and disposal sites for hazardous waste.

1901, Texans struck oil at Spindletop. Over the next forty years Texas became the center of oil exploration and production in the nation. The discovery of oil elevated Texas to national and world importance, changing the economic, social, and political climate of the state.

D

Explanation:

The correct answer is the greater the mass, the greater the force. The hockey puck will move a greater distance in crash 1 than in crash 2.

Explanation:

The force with which a body moves depends on the acceleration it has and its mass. Since the bodies are solid, inelastic shocks are produced, in which all the energy is transmitted from one body to another. In case 1, the impacting body has a greater mass, producing a greater force on the hockey puck, causing it to travel a greater distance. In the second case, being massless, there will be a crash where the body that impacts will be still and the hockey puck will move less than in case 1.

Have a nice day!
