Osmosis

Osmosis is the name of the process in which water moves into or out of the cell membrane to maintain homeostasis.

Osmosis is the net movement of solvent substances such as water from a region of higher solvent potential to a region of lower solvent potential, through a semi-permeable membrane.  During this process, the movement of solvent stops when the concentration of the two solutions becomes equal (balanced). This type of diffusion is an important process in biological systems because biological membranes are semipermeable.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: Water erosion

A scientist observes the ocean tides moving large amounts of sand away from the beach is a evidence for natural process which is known as water erosion. Water erosion is a process of removal or detachment of  upper soil layers from its's original place due to the effect of water. The rate of erosion may be rapid or slow depending upon the soil, the landscape and weather conditions. The beach exhibit sandy soil whose particles are not connected or aggregated with each other and not with the surface over which it is present. Therefore, sand being loose soil is taken away by oceanic tides due to water erosion.

How much stronger is a magnitude 8 earthquake than a magnitude 5 earthquake?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

A. 1000

Explanation:

The Richter scale is a scale of numbers used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake, which is based on the size of its seismic waves. This scale indicates a number to quantify the total seismic energy released by an​ earthquake. The Richter magnitude scale is a base-10 logarithmic scale, thereby a difference of one (1) point in the scale of magnitude corresponds to a 10-fold increase in amplitude. For example, based on the Richter scale, a magnitude-8 earthquake is 100 times greater than a magnitude-6 and 1000 times greater in amplitude than a magnitude-5.
