Why do you think the rate of weathering tends to increase at hotter temperatures and higher amounts of rainfall?

Physics
1 answer:
lesya692 [45]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Both increase in temperature and availability of water drives physical and chemical weathering and increases their rate.

Increase in temperature causes rocks to expand  and molecules are more free to move about. Constantly heating and cooling of a rock can lead to mechanical fracturing or cracks developing.

A high amount of rainfall facilitates chemical weathering. Chemical weathering is the decomposition of rocks.

The main agent that is important for natural chemical processes to occur is the presence water.

Water contains some other dissolved substances in it.

This is evident in tropical regions of the world

Quanto tempo deve ficar ligado um ferro eletrico de 1000 w para que tenha o mesmo consumo de energia que um chuveiro de 4400 w q
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Thus, the time for the first lamp is 44 minutes.

Explanation:

Power of first lamp, P' = 1000 W

Power of second lamp, P'' = 4400 W

time for second lamp, t'' = 10 minutes

Let the time for first lamp is t'.

As the energy is same, so,

P' x t' = P'' x t''

1000 x t' = 4400 x 10

t' = 44 minutes

A 100 kg individual consumes 1200 kcal of food energy a day. Calculate
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

(a) 5142.86 m

(b) 317.5 m/s

(c) 49.3 degree C

Explanation:

m = 100 kg, Q = 1200 kcal = 1200 x 1000 x 4.2 = 504 x 10^4 J

(a) Let the altitude be h

Q = m x g x h

504 x 10^4 = 100 x 9.8 x h

h = 5142.86 m

(b) Let v be the speed

Q = 1/2 m v^2

504 x 10^4 =  1/2 x 100 x v^2

v = 317.5 m/s

(c) The temperature of normal human body, T1 = 37 degree C

Let the final temperature is T2.

Q = m x c x (T2 - T1)

504 x 10^4 = 100 x 4.1 x 1000 x (T2 - 37)

T2 = 49.3 degree C

Following are the different layers of the sun’s atmosphere. Rank them based on the order in which a probe would encounter them w
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Going from earth to the sun a probe would encounter the next layers in order:

  • Corona
  • Transition Region
  • Chromosphere
  • Photosphere
  • Convection Zone
  • Radiative Zone
  • Core

A brief description of them:

Corona is the outermost layer and it cannot  be seen with the naked eye, is starts at about 2100 km from the surface of the sun and it has no limit defined.

Transition Region is between the corona and the chromosphere, it has an extension of about 100km

The chromosphere is between 400 km from the surface of the sun to 2100 km. In this layer the further you get away from the sun it gets hotter.

The photosphere is the surface of the sun, the part that we can see, and extends from the surface to 400km.

The convection zone is where convection happens, hot gas rises, cools and rises again.

Radiative Zone is where the photons try to rise to move to higher layers.

The core of the Sun is where nuclear fusion occurs due to the very high temperatures.

Deceleration ALWAYS means slowing down while negative acceleration does not always have to be slowing down
alexgriva [62]
A little confused by the wording of the problem, but it is true that an object can have a negative acceleration and be speeding up in the negative direction… so I’d go with True
