Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Porosity means the ease with which a fluid can pass through between a rock or cracks etc.

If particles of a soil are flat and even if they are sorted then there will rarely be any space available for fluid or water to pass through it.

If soil particles are round in shape and are sorted then there will be space available for the fluid to pass through it. Hence, this type of soil will be most porous.

Similarly, if soil particles are round but are unsorted then there will be less space available as compared to sorted particles. This is because particles are placed randomly so, somewhere there will be much less space and somewhere there will be large space available. As a result, soil will not be most porous.

If soil particles are flat and unsorted then there will also be less space available for the fluid to pass through it. Thus, soil will be less porous.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options, soil B - round, sorted particles is the most porous.

Describe the physical and chemical weathering​
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Physical weathering is caused by purely mechanical changes to the rock, while chemical weathering is caused by chemical reactions.

Explanation:

Chemical weathering happens when the chemicals get diluted and dissolved in water and seep and percolate down the rock surfaces.

Physical weathering happens when rocks are fragmented into minor fragments while ensuring no alterations in their chemical makeup. The main causes behind physical weathering include spontaneous fluctuations in temperature like too high or too low heat or cold

Students asked to measure the temperature of a reaction beaker recorded the following temperatures. 103.7°C, 108.4°C, 105.8°C, 1
Nata [24]

There are two terms

a) accuracy : it relates to the exactness of an answer that how an answer is close to the actual answer or actual reading

So 104.6 is accurate

b) Precision : This is related to the closeness of different readings with each other

The first reading is 103.7 and the second one is 108.4  so the second reading is quite different from the first reading so it cannot be called as precised

Again 105.8 has good difference from the second reading hence again this is not precised

However the last reading 104.6 is quite near to 105.8 so 104.6 can be called as precise
