Answer 1

Hey there,

Your question states: Why is Mount Kilimanjaro visible from hundreds of miles away?

Your correct answer would be "It is surrounded by much flatter land." That would be why Mount Kilimanjaro visible from hundreds of miles away.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I agree with Jurgen. It's surrounded by much flatter land. If the land below it is flatter, then it will definitely look bigger, making it easier to see from miles away. A does not make sense because it does not matter what the pollution levels are. Pollution does not make it more visible or invisible. C does not make sense because if that was true, then it would look smaller from a ways away, making it harder to see from miles away. Not easier. D does not work because the population around that area does not have a big affect on wheather or not you can see it. Once again, your answer is B) It is surrounded by much flatter land.
