Bio-gas is the naturally produced fossil fuel, a by-product when bacteria decompose organic material under anaerobic conditions.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Organic matter particularly waste material is broken down by bacteria through fermentation in an environmental condition without any presence of oxygen. This process of decomposition leads to formation of bio-gas with "carbon dioxide and methane" in a 2:3 ratio.

The above biological process is termed as bio-digestion or anaerobic digestion. Methane is flammable and thus bio-gas can be used as "energy source", a waste-to-energy transformation. The remaining decomposed matter is ideal as manure for plants due to its rich nutrient level.

In the absence of air resistance, at what other angle will a thrown ball go the same distance as one thrown at an angle of 75 de

snow_tiger [21]

As we know that range of the projectile motion is given by

$R = \frac{v^2 sin(2\theta)}{g}$

here we know that range will be same for two different angles

so here we can say the two angle must be complementary angles

so the two angles must be

$\theta, 90 - \theta$

so it is given that one of the projection angle is 75 degree

so other angle for same range must be 90 - 75 = 15 degree

so other projection angle must be 15 degree

Which statement best describes how the temperature of the oceans surface water varies

Setler79 [48]

<span>heat capacity→ water has a high heat capacity, and salt water has an even higher one, so the temperatures of the oceans remain within a small range because As the heat rises you get more evaporation which actually cools the ocean down (Specific Heat of Water; Heat needed to break down hydrogen bonds)</span>
