What would happen if the sand dunes in an area were destroyed?
Komok [63]

Answer:

<u>Our beaches would be unprotected</u>

In the short-term, these artificial sand hills will be destroyed by the elements. Because sand dunes protect inland areas from swells, tides, and winds, they must be protected and defended like national treasures. ... The ocean and the wind can have an unpredictable, destructive force on coastal regions.

- surfertoday

Natural sand dunes play a vital role in protecting our beaches, coastline and coastal developments from coastal hazards such as erosion, coastal flooding and storm damage. Sand dunes protect our shorelines from coastal erosion and provide shelter from the wind and sea spray.

What best describes how the behavior of rocks changes when they become deeply buried and placed under high levels of heat and pr
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

They become ductile and deform plastically

Explanation:

When rocks are buried by the materials up to a greater depth, then the confining pressure increases significantly. This results in the ductile behavior of the rocks at such depth. These rocks are present in the ductile region where the depth is about more than 20 to 30 km. Here the rocks are subjected to extremely high pressure and temperature conditions, which favors the transformation of rocks into more higher-grade metamorphic rocks. It is also enhanced due to the geothermal gradient.

Under such high pressure and temperature, the rocks show the behavior of plasticity, where the rocks undergo bending, buckling as well as they tend to flow, and there occurs low strain rate, resulting in the permanent deformation of rocks.

Thus, the rocks become ductile and deform plastically at such conditions.

An empty vial weighs 55.32 g. (a) If the vial weighs 185.56 g when filled with liquid mercury (d = 13.53 g/cm3). What i its volu
Tasya [4]

Answer:

a) Volume of vial= 9.626cm3

b) Mass of vial with water = 62.92 g

Explanation:

a) Mass of empty vial = 55.32 g

Mass of Vial + Hg = 185.56 g

Therefore,

mass\ of\ Hg = 185.56-55.32 = 130.24 g

Density of Hg = 13.53 g/cm3

Volume\ of\ vial = Volume\ of\ Hg = \frac{Mass}{Density} \\\\= \frac{130.24g}{13.53g/cm3} = 9.626 cm3

b) Volume of water = volume of vial = 9.626 cm3

Density of water = 0.997 g/cm3

Mass\ of\ water = Density*volume = 0.997g/cm3*9.626cm3=9.60 g\\\\Total\ Mass\ of\ vial = Empty\ vial + mass\ of\ water\\= 53.32+9.60= 62.92g
