The two main types of weathering are material and chemical.

Mechanical weathering is the disintegration of rock into smaller and smaller fragments.

Chemical weathering transforms the original material into a substance with a different composition and different physical characteristics.

The two main types of weathering are chemical and physical.

Chemical weathering is the erosion of rocks, soil or other minerals through the process of water and other chemicals (including Earth's atmosphere) being dissolved into its compound which eventually break down the rock. Other examples include dissolution and carbonation, hydration, and oxidaation.

Physical weathering is a more mechnical way of erosion which is through things like thermal stress, frost, ocean waves, pressure release, and salt-crystal growth.

C. FLOOD STAGE is reached when the water level of a stream or river exceeds its natural banks.

Flood stage is a level at which a body of water's surface has risen to a sufficient level to cause sufficient inundation in areas that are not normally covered by water, causing inconvenience or a threat to life and/or property.

1. What is the relationship between ecological succession and equlibrium in an ecosystem?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Equilibrium in ecology refers to a state that occurs such that a small disturbance or change is counter balanced by another change so that the community is restored to its original state. Thus, as a community goes through multiple changes through each stage of succession, it is not in equilibrium.

An enzyme with molecular weight of 310 kDa undergoes a change in shape when the substrate binds. This change can be characterize
oee [108]

Answer:

(a) r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

(b) r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

Explanation:

Using the sedimentation coefficient formula;

s =  M(1-Vρ) / Nf ; where s is sedimentation coefficient, M is molecular weight, V is specific volume of protein, p is density of the solvent, N is Avogadro number, f if frictional force = 6πnr, n is viscosity of the medium, r is radius of particle

s = M ( 1 - Vρ) / N*6πnr

making r sbjct of formula, r =  M (1 - Vρ) / N*6πnrs

Note: S = 10⁻¹³ sec, 1 KDalton = 1 *10³ g/mol, I cP = 0.01 g/cm/s

r = {(3.1 * 10⁵ g/mol)(1 - (0.732 cm³/g)(1 g/cm³)} / { (6.02 * 10²³)(6π)(0.01 g/cm/s)(11.7 * 10⁻¹³ sec)

r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

b. Using the formula r₂/r₁ = s₁/s₂

s₂ = 0.035 + 1s₁ = 1.035s₁

making r₂ subject of formula; r₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / s₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / 1.035s₁

r₂ = 6.3 * 10⁻⁷cm / 1.035

r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

A gas with a vapor density greater than that of air, would be most effectively displaced out off a vessel by?
AURORKA [14]

A gas with a vapor density greater than that of air, would be most effectively displaced out off a vessel by ventilation.

The two following principles determine the type of ventilation: Considering the impact of the contaminant's vapour density and either positive or negative pressure is applied.

Consider a vertical tank that is filled with methane gas. Methane would leak out if we opened the top hatch since its vapour density is far lower than that of air. A second opening could be built at the bottom to greatly increase the process' efficiency.

A faster atmospheric turnover would follow from air being pulled in via the bottom while the methane was vented out the top. The rate of natural ventilation will increase with the difference in vapour density. Numerous gases that require ventilation are either present in fairly low concentrations or have vapor densities close to one.
