What can create sediment

Chemistry
2 answers:
algol [13]3 years ago

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

A sediment is defined as the broken particles or rock fragments that are formed due to the weathering process. These sediments are of 3 types and they are as follows-

(1) Clastic- These sediments are derived from the terrestrial or land areas. For example, rock particles, soil.

(2) Biogenic- These sediments are derived from the dead remains of flora and fauna. For example, hard parts of organisms forming fossils.

(3) Chemical- These sediments are obtained when water undergoes chemical reaction with the particles (substances). for example, limestone, rock salt and chert.

These sediments are commonly formed from the action of wind and water as it plays an important role in the weathering a erosion of sediments. The wind mostly creates sediments in the areas where the surface rocks or soils are weak. And the water in the coastal region and in the land areas when flows over the rocks continuously, it strikes the soil and erodes the particle and transports to some other places.

Thus, the wind and water are responsible for the creation of sediments.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

The distance between the image and the object in a plane mirror is 40cm if the distance of the object is reduced by 9.2cm, what
finlep [7]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>10.8 cm</u>

Explanation:

The question is:

<h2>What is the distance of the object from the mirror?</h2>

To answer this question, you must learn that, for plane mirrors, the distance of the object from the mirror is equal to the distance of the image formed behind the mirror.

For instance if you stand 1 meter away from a mirror (a plane one) the position of the image of you will be 1 meter behind the mirror.

Here, the initial distance between the image and the object is 40 cm. Then, the distance between the image and the miror is 20 cm, such as it is the distance between the object and the mirror.

That the distance of the object is reduced by 9.2 cm, must be understood as that the object was placed 9.2 cm closer to the mirror.

Then, the new distance of the object from the mirror is 20 cm - 9.2 cm = 10.8 cm. ← answer

When 25.0 grams of water are cooled from 20.0 degrees Celsius to 10.0 degrees Celsius the number of joules of heat energy releas
vodka [1.7K]

Heat energy released here

Q = mass x specific heat capacity of water x deltaT


= 25.0 x 4.184 x (-10.0)


= - 1046 Joules


1046 Joules of heat energy is released in this process.
