Answer:  Option B

Explanation:

Rocks contains pores and spaces in them in which water gets trapped, and this causes the rock to break as water increases its volume due to freezing. This rocks are then eroded and are carried away into the streams and channels. The rivers and streams can carry particles of various shapes and size, which are further transported and deposited at a different place.

This particles or sediments then gets compacted and lithified in due course of time, and forms sedimentary rocks.

Water is also needed to undergo metasomatism process, that creates a metamorphic rock.

Hence, water flow is also an important driving force in rock cycle, along with tectonic activities.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

AveGali [126]

Correct answer choice is:

C. Polarized in a vertical plane.

Explanation:

Polarized sunglasses give excellent glare shield, particularly on the water. Polarized lenses include a specific filter that prevents this type of strong reflected light, diminishing glare.

This is because when you angle one polarized lens to different perpendicularly, they prevent glare both horizontally and vertically. The polarized lenses are enduringly tinted sunglasses that exceedingly decrease glare.

An automobile traveling 95 km/h overtakes a 1.30-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track parallel to the road.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Same direction: t=234s; d=6.175Km

Opposite direction: t=27.53s; d=0.73Km

Explanation:

If the automobile and the train are traveling in the same direction, then the automobile speed relative to the train will be v_{AT}=v_A-v_T (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a lower speed</em>), where v_A is the speed of the automobile and v_T the speed of the train.

So we have v_{AT}=(95km/h)-(75Km/h)=20Km/h.

So the train (<em>anyone in fact</em>) will watch the automobile trying to cover the lenght of the train L at that relative speed. The time required to do this will be:

t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{20Km/h} = 0.065h=234s

And in that time the car would have traveled (<em>relative to the ground</em>):

d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.065h)=6.175Km

If they are traveling in opposite directions, <u>we have to do all the same</u> but using v_{AT}=v_A+v_T (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a faster speed</em>), so repeating the process:

v_{AT}=(95km/h)+(75Km/h)=170Km/h

t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{170Km/h} = 0.00765h=27.53s

d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.00765h)=0.73Km

Pressure in a liquid increases with its ..........​
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: Pressure increases as the depth increases

Explanation: The pressure in a liquid is due to the weight of the column of water above. Since the particles in a liquid are tightly packed, this pressure acts in all directions.
