The heat moves in predictable ways, flowing from warmer objects to cooler ones, until both reach the same temperature. When air is in contact with the ocean at a different temperature than the sea surface, heat transfer by a conductor. The ocean absorbs and stores energy from the sun and when precipitation falls , it release heat energy in the atmosphere(air)

Answer:

We are in Tropical Rainforests.

Explanation:

Biome is basically an ecological region of earth that has specific type of flora and fauna (plants and animals). Every biome has specific abiotic factors like specific climate, temperature, geology, vegetation, soils and relief.

There are total 8 biomes in the world

Desert
Grassland
Temperate Boreal Forest
Chaparral
Tropical Savanna
Tropical Rainforest
Tundra
Temperate Deciduous Forest

Now in our question, we have been given some conditions and are asked to identify the biome. The annual precipitation is about 300 cm and the average temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius.

Now, if we study the characteristics of all these biomes, it is very simple to identify that the biome is Tropical Rainforest.

Important characteristics of Tropical Rainforest:

They receive more than 200 cm of rain each year.
The temperature of the biome is between 20 degree Celsius and 25 degree Celsius during the whole year.
Around 50 percent of the animal specie of the world are found here.

Hope it helps! :)

4. A sample of nitrogen at 20 degrees Celsius was compressed to 300ml to

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

We are given:

V(i) = 0.3 L V(f) = 0.36 L

P(i) = x pa P(f) = 400 pa

T(i) = T(f) = 293 k

Using the gas formula:

PV = nRT

Since n , R and T are constant,

PV = k (where k is a constant)

Hence we can say that:

P(i) * V(i) = P(f) * V(f)

x * 0.3 = 0.36 * 400

x = 14.4/0.3

x = 480 pascals

Hence the initial pressure is 480 pascals

Converting to Kpa, we have to divide by 1000

Initial pressure (Kpa) = 0.48

A postulate of the kinetic molecular theory is listed.

valina [46]

Answer:

Postulate: Gas particles are extremely small and are far apart.

The activities can be used to demonstrate the postulate is :

Observing colored gas spreading into an inverted jar placed on top of a jar containing the gas

Explanation:

colored gas spreading into an inverted jar placed on top of a jar containing the gas:

This occur because of two reasons:

1. The Gaseous particles are largely spaced . There is large distance between the gases molecule

2. The gases are in continuous motion . Hence they posses very high kinetic energy . This is the reason they mixes quickly if placed in a jar.

This occur by the process of diffusion.

Diffusion of Gases: The intermixing of particles from the region of high concentration to low concentration.

The coloured gas goes into the space between the gaseous molecule present in the jar.(Gases are far apart)

As soon as the coloured gas is mixed in the jar , It spread quickly by diffusion because , The gaseous particles are extremely small and are far apart.
