Answer:

The answer is "Option C".

Explanation:

Wedging Freeze is generated by repeated freezing. Freeze wedging occurs, whenever the water is turned into ice as a result of the 9 percent expansion. When it freezes, cracks full of water are forced to separate further. and other options are incorrect, that can be described as follows:

  • In option A, It is a state where the element converts into a liquid, that's why it is not correct.
  • In option B, It is a reaction in which the bonds of water is divided into particular substance, that's why it is not correct.
  • In option D, It is a form of mechanical or physical rock weathering, that's it is not correct.

Answer

C. frost wedging.

Explanation:

  • The honey-comb-like structure formed on the sand stone is the result of stresses due to frost wedging in the sandstone.
  • As we know that the microscopic structure of snow is hexagonal and similar is the pattern being discussed here for a honeycomb.

Frost wedging is the process of wearing of rocks by the repeated cycles of freezing and melting of water in the porous cavities of the sandstone.

Due to anomalous expansion of water on freezing it exerts stress on the inner surfaces of the space it occupies in the porosity.

  • As we know that the structure of the molecular bonds is arranged in a cage-like structure of ice which wears out the particles of the rock leaving a honeycomb structured impression due to the stresses.

A car is on a circular off ramp of an interstate and is traveling at exactly 25 mph around the curve. Does the car have velocity
netineya [11]

Answer:

The car has velocity and acceleration but is not decelerating

Explanation:

Since the car is traveling at 25 mph around the curve, it has a tangential velocity. This tangential velocity is constantly changing in direction (so the car could adapt to the curve and not moving forward in a straight line), there should be a centripetal acceleration in play here. This acceleration does not slow down the car so it's not decelerating.

The pressure in Arabian sea is much bigger than near the surface?<br> please don't scam
sashaice [31]

Answer:

In general, the annual sea surface temperatures(SSTs) in the Bay of Bengal(BOB) are higher than the Arabian sea(AS). because, there are two main reasons for higher SST in the Bay of Bengal than the Arabian Sea. they are 1. stratification, 2.strong mixing

stratification is nothing but a phenomenon which stratifies(layers) the sea water when different density water(fresh water, rain water) add into the sea water. So the stratification in the bay of Bengal is comparatively high than the Arabian sea due to the high river discharge and precipitation in the BOB than the AS. the mixing process over the Arabian sea is higher than the Bay of Bengal due to the prevailing of strong winds over the AS (because of the presence of the mountains of east Africa) than Bay of Bengal (because of the winds over the BOB are sluggish in nature then the AS). But generally winds over the sea mixes easily the normal sea water than stratified/stabilized sea water column. That's why less mixing will takes place over the surface of BOB than the AS. So due to the presence of less mixing over the surface of the Bay of Bengal than the Arabian sea, the SST values over the Arabian sea are always lower than the Bay of Bengal. that's why the Arabian sea is colder than the Bay of Bengal.

Un cuerpo se mueve con MRU a una rapidez de 12 m/s y recorre 240 m; luego, disminuye su ra¬pidez uniformemente a razón de 2 m/s2
Annette [7]

Answer:

29 seconds

Explanation:

First we have a constant speed of 12 m/s and the distance of 240 m, so to find the time we can use the formula:

distance = speed * time

240 = 12 * time1

time1 = 20 seconds

Then, the speed decreases at 2 m/s2 until it reaches 2 m/s. So to find this time, we use this formula:

Final speed = inicial speed + acceleration * time

2 = 12 - 2 * time2

2*time2 = 10

time2 = 5 seconds.

Then, the speed increases from 2 m/s to 22 m/s with an acceleration of 5 m/s2, so we have:

Final speed = inicial speed + acceleration * time

22 = 2 + 5 * time3

5*time3= 20

time3 = 4 seconds

The total time is:

Total time = time1 + time2 + time3 = 20 + 5 + 4 = 29 seconds
