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).

A heat engine does 200 j of work per cycle while exhausting 600 j of heat to the cold reservoir. what is the engine's thermal ef

AveGali [126]

The thermal efficiency of an engine is
$\eta= \frac{W}{Q}$
where
W is the work done by the engine
Q is the heat absorbed by the engine to do the work

In this problem, the work done by the engine is W=200 J, while the heat exhausted is Q=600 J, so the efficiency of the machine is
$\eta= \frac{W}{Q}= \frac{200 J}{600 J}=0.33 = 33 \%$
