Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms are able to <em>share</em> electrons.

Iroinic bonds are form when two atoms are <em> </em> electrons from each other to complete the bond. This results in a pair of ions.


<u>Covalent bonds:</u>

  • Have a definite shape.
  • Have a low melting point.
  • At room temperature they are in a liquid or gas.
  • They occur between two non-metals.

<u>Ionic bonds:</u>

  • Have no definite shape.
  • Have a high melting point.
  • At room temperature they are solid.
  • They occur between a metal and a nonmetal.

How Do Mountain Ranges Effect Climate
sdas [7]

Mountains can affect the climate of close  lands. In some places , mountains also block rain, so that one side of a mountain range may be rainy. That means on the other side of the mountain, it could be a dry desert. Much of soaring moisture falls as rain on the windward side of the mountains.

Describe two forms of mechanical weathering.
GalinKa [24]
1.Frost Wedging (Freeze-Thaw)

Water expands by 9 percent when it freezes. As it expands, it exerts up to 4.3 million pounds per square foot of pressure. Since water seeks low points, repeated freezing and thawing can lead to deep vertical fissures as cracks are extended downward. Cracks that allow entry of roots lead to similar wedging.


2.Crystal Formation

Crystal formation cracks rock in a similar way. Most water contains dissolved salts. When water in rock fissures evaporate, the salt concentration increases, which leads to crystallization. This occurs in arid regions where the humidity fluctuates widely, so that the salt can be redissolved and carried into new fissures.
