Which of the following describes a unique property of water that helps sustain marine life?

Chemistry
1 answer:
LUCKY_DIMON [66]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Since ice is less dense than water, it floats. This forms an ice cover sheet in cold regions such as in the poles. This insulates the water beneath from excessive heat loss hence preventing it from turning into ice too, This protects the marine life beneath. Also, water does not gain heat or loss it rapidly (due to its high heat capacity) hence offering a more or stable temperature range for marine life.

How can you tell where there is a steep slope on a contour map?
Katena32 [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

Steep slopes on the contour map are identified using contour lines which are closely spaced.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Contour map also known as topographic maps are used to represent the three-dimensional portion of the earth’s surface in two-dimensional space. This map is used to represent the surface of the land such as steep, slopes, valleys. The contour maps are used in geological studies to understand the configuration of the earth's surface. Terms like map scale, vertical scale, contour lines are used on the contour map. Elevations are represented using contour lines. Contour lines placed very close to each represent the steep slopes and contour lines that are spaced farther away from each other represent the gentle slopes.

When chemicals react with each other which factors decide that a successful reaction has taken place ?
Elodia [21]

The factors that affect the rate of a reaction are:

  • <em>nature of the reactant</em> - when reactants with different chemical composition are exposed to same conditions they would react differently.  For instance, when an acid or base is added on litmus paper, blue litmus paper turns red in presence of acid while red litmus paper turns blue when base is added.
  • <em>surface area</em>- a compound with small pieces spread over a large area will react faster than a big lump of a compound occupying a small area.
  • <em>temperature of reaction</em>- reactants would react faster at high temperatures. this is because they have higher kinetic energy to collide with each other. Hence a plate of food on the table spoils faster than a plate of food in the fridge.
  • <em>concentration</em>- an increase in concentration leads to more molecules available to collide and form products. An example, when you add more of indicator in a solution, the color becomes more clear since more particles react to give more color.
  • <em>presence of a catalyst</em>- a catalyst lowers the activation energy, which means less energy is required to shift reaction in forward direction. In the presence of iron (Fe) a catalyst, nitrogen N₂ and hydrogen H₂ react to produce NH₃
