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.

What is the momentum of a 72 kg baseball player who slides into home plate

Alina [70]

Answer:

B) 350 kg m/s

Explanation:

momentum or p is given by the equation p= mxv

We have the mass and velocity so we can use the equation directly

p= 72kg x 4.9 m/s

p= 352.8 kg m/s

I do not understand the full question, however if you are wondering which way Simone and the dog will go, they will go right because the force of 34 N from the dog is higher than the force of 16 N from Simone.

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Complete Question:

A company has two AWS accounts, each containing one VPC. The first VPC has a VPN connection with its corporate network. The second VPC, without a VPN, hosts an Amazon Aurora database cluster in private subnets. Developers manage the Aurora database from a bastion host in a public subnet as shown in the image.

A security review has flagged this architecture as vulnerable, and a Security Engineer has been asked to make this design more secure. The company has a short deadline and a second VPN connection to the Aurora account is not possible.

How can a Security Engineer securely set up the bastion host?

A. Move the bastion host to the VPC and VPN connectivity. Create a VPC peering relationship between the bastion host VPC and Aurora VPC.

B. Create a SSH port forwarding tunnel on the Developer's workstation to the bastion host to ensure that only authorized SSH clients can access the bastion host.

C. Move the bastion host to the VPC with VPN connectivity. Create a cross-account trust relationship between the bastion VPC and Aurora VPC, and update the Aurora security group for the relationship.

D. Create an AWS Direct Connect connection between the corporate network and the Aurora account, and adjust the Aurora security group for this connection.

Answer:

B. Create an SSH port forwarding tunnel on the Developer's workstation to the bastion host to ensure that only authorized SSH clients can access the bastion host.

Explanation:

To gain a better understanding of why the option selected in the answer to the question let first explain some terms.

AWS:

According to techtarget,

AWS (Amazon Web Services) is a comprehensive, evolving cloud computing platform provided by Amazon that includes a mixture of (1) infrastructure as a service (IaaS),(2) platform as a service (PaaS) and (3)packaged software as a service (SaaS) offerings.

An AWS account is a container for your AWS resources

A bastion host is a server whose purpose is to provide access to a private network from an external network, such as the Internet. Because of its exposure to potential attacks, a bastion host must minimize the chances of penetration to the private network.

SSH port forwarding, or TCP/IP connection tunneling, is a process whereby a TCP/IP connection that would otherwise be insecure is tunneled through a secure SSH(Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol for operating network services securely over an unsecured network.) link, thus protecting the tunneled connection from network attacks.

So the Bastion protects the private network while the SSH prevent unauthorized access to the bastion

The following best describes how an anthropogenic activity can increase ocean acidification?<br>

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Emissions from power plants that burn fossil fuels increase atmospheric carbon dioxide, which is absorbed by the ocean.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are burnt in power plants in order to produce energy. These fossil fuels contain carbon. Combustion of these fossil fuels emits oxides of carbon into the atmosphere. The oxides of carbon are carbon II oxide and carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide can be absorbed by the ocean to form carbonic acid according to the reaction equation;

CO2(aq) + H2O(l) ------> H2CO3(aq)

This is an anthropogenic activity which increases ocean acidification.
