Jazmin has written this essay for her science class. Read Jazmin’sessay and look for any corrections that she needs to make. Whenyou finish reading, answer the questions that follow.(1) Humans are naturally curious beings. (2) We are drivento search for new places to explore. (3) Given how many naturalwonders have been discovered around the world, isn’t it amazing thatthere are still natural wonders to find? (4) In the year 2000, twominers in Mexico stumbled upon one such surprise—a cave of crystalsunlike any other.(5) Nine hundred and eighty feet below the surface of Naica,Mexico, miners were excavating a new tunnel and found a cave filledwith giant crystals. (6) The cave is a geological wonder because itcontains some of the largest natural crystals ever discovered in theworld. (7) Scientists and explorers studying the cave named it Caveof Crystals—for the surprises inside. (8) These crystals are Classifiedas selenite crystals, meaning they are translucent. (9) Most arebetween 20 and 36 feet long and weigh around 55 tons.(10) At first, scientists wondered how the crystals grew so largeinside the cave. (11) Naica is on top of an ancient underground fault,which is a break in the ground where the tektonic plates of Earthhave shifted. (12) Below the cave is a magma chamber filled withlava. (13) Over time, the cave was flooded with groundwater thattrickled in from the surface. (14) With the water inside the cave andthe heat from the magma chamber, the cave remained a consistenttemperature for 500,000 years, and this created the perfectenvironment to grow crystals.(15) Scientists don’t know much about the crystals yet; theextreme conditions inside the Cave of Crystals make it dangerousto stay inside the cave for more than a few minutes at a time.(16) Because the magma chamber is right below the cave, thetemperature is between 100°F and 150°F. (17) The relative humidityinside the cave is between 90% and 100%. (18) The averagehumidity in Mexico City is about 50%, making the cave’s humidityalmost double the average of the nation’s capital. (19) In order tolearn more about this impressive minerallogical discovery, scientistsexploring the caves are working to develop strategies and tools thatwill help them stay underground longer.(20) Amazing discoveries like the Cave of Crystals in Mexicohelp us learn more about our world and its natural wonders.(21) If there is a shocking cave like this 980 feet below the surfaceof Mexico. (22) Then there could be more discoveries just like it inother parts of the world. (23) There are still corners of the world thathave not been seen by human eyes, perhaps with surprises just asdazzeling as the Cave of Crystals.What change should be made in sentence 19?(1 point) Change minerallogical to mineralogical Delete the comma after discovery Change exploring to exploreChange them to itSkip to navigation

Change minerallogical to mineralogical — it corrects the spelling of the adjective describing the discovery.
