Groundwater is the body of water derived from percolation, contained within the soil, sub-soil and underlying rocks above an impermeable layer. The top layer of groundwater is known as the water table and it marks the permanent zone of saturation. Three appropriate ways for preserving groundwater are:
- Recycling groundwater for use
-Regulating the amount of groundwater used to water neighbourhood lawns
-Monitoring the chemicals used in fossil fuel extraction
Answer:
In which class of elements is there a greater range of properties, the metals or the nonmetals? Give an example to support your answer. Non-metals have greater range of properties given that they exist as solids, liquids and gases. And also that they can polymerize, crystallize and form organic compounds.
Answer:
R = 480 Ohm
Yes, the current is steady since the power supply is a constant 12V (comming from the battery).
Explanation:
U=I*R
R = U / I
U = 12 V
I = 0.025 A
R = 12 / 0.025
R = 480 Ohm
Answer: C. Dead snake fossilizing underground.
A fossil fuel is the fuel that is formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of dead plants and animals underground. These organisms and their remains remain deep inside the depth of numerous layers of soil resulting in fuel produced after millions of years. A carbon sink refers to a natural or artificial reservoir that stores and absorbs atmospheric carbon by physical and biological process. The formation of fossil fuel inside the earth is carbon sink.
Dead snake will be added as a matter on which biological activity called as decomposition will take place. The organic matter of dead snake will be decomposed by microbes in the soil. The organic matter being the source of carbon, after decomposition will become the reservoir of carbon in the form of fossil fuel.
Therefore, dead snake fossilizing underground is the example of carbon source becoming a carbon sink.
