Answer: Coal

Explanation: Coal is very extensively used in many places. Coal is a non renewable source of energy which means that they cannot be regenerated again.

Due to the extensive use of coal, it produced a huge amount of sulfur content into the atmosphere, similar to the sulfur that releases into the atmosphere through volcanic eruptions. This sulfur then gets mix up with the atmospheric oxygen, forming sulfur dioxide. Due to this reaction, often acid rain occurs at various places. This increasing content of sulfur dioxide is responsible for the global rise in the temperature, thereby <u>causing significant amount of pollution.</u>

Thus, coal burning is the most polluting energy source.

As you were climbing a a mountain, you noticed that rocks were crumbling below your feet and moving down the mountain. What two
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Weathering and erosion

Explanation:

Weathering can be explained as the breaking down of rocks/minerals on the surface of the Earth as a result of contact with biological organism, water, air and other factors

. There are 3 common types of weathering which are;

1) physical weathering

2) biological weathering

3) chemical weathering

Erosion can be regarded as a geological process, whereby earthen material are been transported away by natural forces, these forces could be wind as well as water.

Therefore, as you were climbing a a mountain, you noticed that rocks were crumbling below your feet and moving down the mountain. What is observed are weathering and erosion processes.

After the weakening and broken up of the rock by weathering then erosion transport the bit of the rock down the mountain as you are climbing, which means the "weathering process" breakdown and the "erosion process" involves the transport or movement of the bit of the rocks

state the formula for potassium hydroxide and explain, in terms of charges, how you formed the formula
Ganezh [65]

Potassium oxide is an ionic compound. The potassium has a charge of <span>K+</span> and oxygen has a charge of <span>O<span>2−</span></span>. We need 2 potassium ions to balance one oxide ion making the formula <span><span>K2</span>O</span>.

Potassium hydroxide is an ionic compound. The potassium has a charge of <span>K+</span> and hydroxide has a charge of <span>OH−</span>. We need 1 potassium ion to balance one hydroxide ion making the formula KOH.

<span><span>K2</span>O+<span> H2</span>O→KOH</span>

To balance the equation we place a coefficient of 2 in front of the potassium hydroxide.

<span><span>K2</span>O+<span>H2</span>O→2KOH</span>

I hope this was helpful.
