Answer:

If you look at the table below, you'll notice that asphalt has a much lower albedo than forest or grass. Because of this, when cities replace natural vegetation, the area usually becomes much hotter. Climatologists call this effect an urban heat island. Other factors also contribute to urban heat islands, but lower albedo is a major influence.

Mid-ocean ridges (MORs), which are the sites of new oceanic crust formation, are linear mountain chains that run along divergent
Lemur [1.5K]

The correct answer is - As the hot magma exists the MOR, it shoots up higher than the surrounding crust.

The mid-ocean ridges are linear mountain chains on the ocean floor. They appear on places where there are divergent boundaries, meaning where two or more plates are moving away from one another.

As the plates move away, they leave thinner crust and gaps behind them, so the high pressure from the mantle manages to push upward the magma with ease. As the magma pushes upward it manages to move up the ocean floor as well. The magma cools of very quickly, thus creating new crust in no time. This new crust sits higher than the older one because the magma manages to push upward the ocean floor itself. Since the magma is continuously coming up and creates more and more new crust, it also gets out much higher because it makes a mountain of very hard igneous rocks around the source, thus constantly coming above the layers formed before.

13. A soil contains 30% smectite, 10% kaolinite, and 2% organic matter. Calculate an estimated CEC for this hypothetical soil.
marta [7]

Answer:

estimated CEC for given hypothetical soil is  26.25 meq/100g.

Explanation:

Average CEC in smectite =  62.5 meq/100g. Since it ranges from(25-100 meq/100g)

Average CEC in kaolinite = 10 meq/100g.

Average CEC in organic matter = 325meq/100g.

Range(250-400 meq/100g).

Estimated CEC for given soil will be,

=30\% \times\ avg.\ CEC\ in\ smectite + 10\% \times \ avg.\ CEC\ in  \ kaolinite +2\% \times avg\ CEC\ in\ organic\ matter.

= 0.3\times 62.5 + 00.1 \times 10 + 0.02\times 325

= 26.25 meq/100g.
