Good question. The Arizona impact location is very, very, unique. The crater was the Bigger than Cuba when it first struck. Due to sedimentary drop off its size is slowly decaying. It is currently about the size of 2-3 Carnival cruise ships.

Answer:

The meteor crater in Arizona is still visible  due to the sedimentary nature of the materials present, mainly limestone, and the total absence of lava in the zone.

Most of the craters created by other meteorites that have collided with the earth are not visible at present because they were smaller and also impacted in areas where the soil materials were more compact and firm.

Explanation:

It is estimated that the impact produced by the crater 50,000 years ago, and was caused by an nickel-iron meteorite about 50 m long traveling at an approximate speed of 12 km/sec.  The impact created a temperature so extraordinarily high that it vaporized or melted all the rocks in the surrounding crust.

Which of the following best summarizes the relationship between dehydration reactions and hydrolysis?
Softa [21]

Answer:

Dehydration reactions assemble polymers, and hydrolysis reactions break down polymers.

Explanation:

dehydration reaction is a conversion that involves the loss of water from the reacting molecule or ion.

Hydrolysis is defined as any chemical reaction in which a molecule of water ruptures one or more chemical bonds.

Dehydration reactions link monomers together into polymers by releasing water, and hydrolysis breaks polymers into monomers using a water molecule. Monomers are just single unit molecules and polymers are chains of monomers.

Does anyone know the answer to this?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Disclaimer: I just answered this, here is the answer again!
*Used copy paste from my own answer as it is a repeated question, no copied work*

3. A
The relation between V and I at constant R is;V=IR, so it is a direct linear relation.
4. A
This is another direct linear relation as P=IV.
5. D
The relation between P, R, and V is P=, so P is inversely proportional to R.
6.B
The relation between P,I, and R is , so P is directly proportional to the square of I.

Please note that y:x relations are always straight lines while  relations are parabolic lines.

Hope this helps!
