English
1 answer:
Viktor [21]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Thixotropic refers to a gel/substance that is thick and stable but will start to move or flow like a fluid when stress is applied (being shaken, stirred, placed under pressure, etc.). This is important to keep in mind when building houses as landslides or other disruptions and movements in the ground can happen during an earthquake with thixotropic clay in the soil, causing the buildings there to collapse or otherwise be damaged.

Question: Describe soil and it’s roles in agriculture. Address how long it takes for soil to form and the challenges of arid soi
Veronika [31]

Role of soil in agriculture and its formation process.

Soil is usually the upper layer of Earth in which the growth of most plants takes place. Soil is characterized as a ‘hot bed’ which is a mixture of minerals, air, water, insects, worms, and billions of bacteria.

Soil is the most important aspect of agriculture and also the main source of nutrients needed for the growth of plants which feed us. It takes approximately 500 years to generate 2.5 centimeters of soil in a dried up or parched area.

Summary the book: The Fault in Our Stars<br><br>by John Green<br><br>​
Delvig [45]

Seventeen-year-old Hazel Grace Lancaster reluctantly attends a cancer patients' support group at her mother’s behest. Because of her cancer, she uses a portable oxygen tank to breathe properly. In one of the meetings she catches the eye of a teenage boy, and through the course of the meeting she learns the boy’s name is Augustus Waters. He's there to support their mutual friend, Isaac. Isaac had a tumor in one eye that he had removed, and now he has to have his other eye taken out as well. After the meeting ends, Augustus approaches Hazel and tells her she looks like Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta. He invites Hazel to his house to watch the movie, and while hanging out, the two discuss their experiences with cancer. Hazel reveals she has thyroid cancer that has spread to her lungs. Augustus had osteosarcoma, but he is now cancer free after having his leg amputated. Before Augustus takes Hazel home, they agree to read one another’s favorite novels. Augustus gives Hazel The Price of Dawn, and Hazel recommends An Imperial Affliction.Hazel explains the magnificence of An Imperial Affliction: It is a novel about a girl named Anna who has cancer, and it's the only account she's read of living with cancer that matches her experience. She describes how the novel maddeningly ends midsentence, denying the reader closure about the fate of the novel’s characters. She speculates about the novel’s mysterious author, Peter Van Houten, who fled to Amsterdam after the novel was published and hasn’t been heard from since.A week after Hazel and Augustus discuss the literary meaning of An Imperial Affliction, Augustus miraculously reveals he tracked down Van Houten's assistant, Lidewij, and through her he's managed to start an email correspondence with the reclusive author. He shares Van Houten's letter with Hazel, and she devises a list of questions to send Van Houten, hoping to clear up the novel’s ambiguous conclusion.
