Is this a Compound Sentence?
Hi, I'm pretty sure that the sentence below is not a compound sentence, because there is only one subject, but I still wanted to confirm it here. The coordinating conjunction is simply connecting a long phrase, not an independent clause, right? Thanks!
This volume quickly plummets over the next two hours and settles at about 180 passengers by 10 am
