Answer: The material formed by weathering that is then eroded and deposited is called SEDIMENTS.

Explanation:

Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down to form Sediments. There are three forces that can cause weathering of a rock they include:

- Biological weathering: example tree roots, and lichens.

- Chemical weathering: example, water, acid, or gases.

- Mechanical weathering: example, wind, rain, water freezing.

These Sediments that are generated during the course of weathering is moved from one place to another through a natural force called EROSION. The dropping of the Sediments in a new place is known as deposition. The collective effects of weathering,erosion and deposition leads to:

- landslides

-Changes in shape, size and texture of land forms.

- soil formation

- washes soil, pollutants, harmful sediments into water ways. I hope this helps, thanks.

The bond dissociation energy for nitrogen is 941 kj/mol. what is this value in calories

muminat

If 1 kj/mol is 0.239 kilocalories/ mol, then 941 kj/mol is 224.904 kcal/mol or 224904 cal/mol. They both are energy units. The joule is the International System unit. It is ultimately defined in terms of the meter, kilogram, and second. One calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1Â°C

A car traveling at a constant speed travels 175 miles in four hours. How many minutes will it take for the car to travel 1000 fe

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

It takes 0.26 minutes to travel 1000 feet

Solution:

Given that car traveling at a constant speed travels 175 miles in four hours

Distance = 175 miles

Time taken = 4 hours

Convert the units to feet and minute

Given that,

1 mile = 5280 feet

175 miles = 5280 x 175 feet = 918720 feet

Also we know that,

1 hour = 60 minutes

4 hours = 60 x 4 minutes = 240 minutes

Thus, we got,

Distance = 918720 feet

Time taken = 240 minutes

Find the speed of car

Speed is given by formula:

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

$speed = \frac{918720}{240} = 3828$

Thus speed of car is 3828 feet per minute

How many minutes will it take for the car to travel 1000 feet?

Let "x" be the minutes needed for 1000 feet

speed of car is 3828 feet per minute

1 minute = 3828 feet

x minute = 1000 feet

This forms a proportion. We can solve by cross multiplying

$x \times 3828 = 1000 \times 1\\\\x = \frac{1000}{3828}\\\\x = 0.26$

Thus it takes 0.26 minutes to travel 1000 feet

Reduce the following molecular formulas to empirical formulas. Please help!

zvonat [6]

This is done by reducing each number by a common factor for each formula.

C3H6O6- all can be divided by 3 -> CH3O3 (you don't have to put a 1 for C, only if your teacher requests it. It is generally understood if not written)

H2O2- all can be divided by 2 -> H1O1 (had to put the 1's bc of the unintended language)

C8H8S2- all can be divided by 2 -> C4H4S

P5O15- all can be divided by 5- PO3

*****it is important to note that all numbers in the molecular formula are divided by the same thing to reduce them. decimals are never used in empirical formulas, only whole numbers.*****
