Distinguish between dunes and loess

Chemistry
1 answer:
agasfer [191]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Dunes are loose sand hills.

Loess is a compacted wind-blown formation of sediment.

Explanation:

Sand dunes are, as their name implies, made of sand which is itself made of tiny quartz pieces. Sand dunes are present where there is a ready source of broken down sandstone or other type of rock and wind to transport the sand. The dunes are mobile and loose and migrate over time.

Loess comes in vast formations and was created in a very different way. In the last ice age, winds from the north carried sediments loosened and ground by glaciers southwards. There, the sediments accumulated in large formations and became compacted over time.

If atoms really conformed to the plum pudding model of the atom, what would the results of rutherford’s experiment have been?
Hitman42 [59]
Rutherford's experiment was done to prove Thompson's Plum Pudding Model. In this model, the protons and electrons are both inside the nucleus. The atoms is neutral because the charges cancel out. Rutherford's hypothesis was that, when a beam of cathode rays hits the gold foil, all the light should pass through. If the Plum Pudding model was correct, that would have been the result. However, it wasn't.
