Answer:

Sample Response: First, I wrote each ratio as a fraction. Then I found a common denominator of 20. The fraction 4/10 is 8/20. Comparing numerators, 8 is less than 12, so the ratio 4:10 is smaller.

Explanation:

The given information is expressed in ratio. However, a ratio is basically a fraction. So, 4:10 is just equal to 4/10 or 2/5 in simplified terms. Similarly, 12:20 is just equal to 12/20 or 6/5 in simplified terms. The smaller ratio is 2/5 because the numerator is less than the denominator. So, it follows that the answer is less than 1. The other ratio has a much greater numerator. So, we would expect that that would be greater than 1.

Why do small planets tend to have little or no atmosphere?

This is because small planets do not have a high gravitational force to hold an atmosphere;  some might have had an atmosphere, but due to the little gravitational force it might have drifted away

quantifying depth-dependent seismic anisotropy in the critical zone enhanced by weathering of a piedmont schist
PolarNik [594]

By weakening and fracturing rock, weathering processes release nutrients and improve subsurface permeability. It is helpful to limit the physical attributes of materials produced by weathering inside the crucial zone in order to better understand these processes.

The permeability, strength, and seismic anisotropy of foliated rocks can be measured geophysically, whereas the first two have effects on hydrology and geomorphology. Characterizing weathering-dependent changes in rock fabric with depth may have a variety of implications because each of these types of anisotropy is connected to rock fabric.

The key points are:

  • In the critical zone, seismic surveys of weathered material reveal seismic anisotropy magnitudes that can reach 36% and that change with depth.
  • The strike of foliation and fracture planes found in bedrock coincides with the fast direction of wave propagation in weathered materials.
  • As bedrock is exhumed toward the surface, in-situ weathering processes probably intensify the anisotropy already existing in the rock.
