What can create sediment

Chemistry

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).

Which subatomic particle gives off visible light when it drops back down to a lower energy state?
icang [17]

Answer:

Option C = electron

Explanation:

Electrons are responsible for the production of colored light.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

How electrons produce the colored light:

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.

Other process may involve,

Fluorescence:

In fluorescence the energy is absorbed by the electron having shorter wavelength and high energy usually of U.V region. The process of absorbing the light occur in a very short period of time i.e. 10 ∧-15 sec. During the fluorescence the spin of electron not changed.

The electron is then de-excited by emitting the light in visible and IR region. This process of de-excitation occur in a time period of 10∧-9 sec.

Phosphorescence:

In phosphorescence the electron also goes to the excitation to the higher level by absorbing the U.V radiations. In case of Phosphorescence the transition back to the lower energy level occur very slowly and the spin pf electron also change.
