4 0

Answer:

About 30-35%

Explanation:

Glaciers are defined as the large moving blocks of ice that are formed by the gathering and solidification of snow on the high elevated mountains. The poles and near-polar region are suitable locations for the formation of glaciers as the high latitude areas experience a very cold type of climate.

During the last glaciation or ice age, the maximum portion of the earth that was occupied with glaciers was about 30-35% of the total landmass.  

At present, glaciers cover only 10% of the earth's total landmass that includes the glaciers, large ice caps, and the extensive sheets of ice that are present in Antarctica as well as Greenland.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

C. Dry the methylene chloride by removing water

Explanation:

Anhydrous sodium sulfate is known for its high capacity to absorb water, for this reason it is widely used in laboratories as a drying agent.

Sodium sulfate is a neutral molecule so it cannot be used to neutralize and is very stable, so it is difficult to precipitate organic molecules.

What happens when an ecosystem reaches the maximum number of individuals it can support
tangare [24]

Answer:

A collapse of the population is rotting, food is not enough and livelihoods have become unfeasible to decrease the number of individuals again.

Another way is to generate mutations to generate a species more vulnerable to decreasing numbers.

In this way the overpopulation is controlled.

Explanation:

In ecosystems, if an increased population breaks the balance of this and begins a new constant adaptation of the extinction of some and overpopulation of others, which may be some chains break or remain unstable.

An element forms an oxide, E₂O₃, and a fluoride, EF₃.(b) How does the group to which E belongs affect the properties of the oxid
xz_007 [3.2K]

Of all the elements, fluorine is the most electronegative and reactive. Fluorine is a diatomic, pale yellow, extremely corrosive, combustible gas with a strong smell. The lightest halogen is it. It produces oxygen and the incredibly corrosive hydrofluoric acid when it combines strongly with water.

<h3>The properties of the oxide and the fluoride?</h3>
  • 1. A mixture of oxygen fluorides with an atomic ratio OF in the range of 1.1-2.04 is generated when fluorine and oxygen mixes are easily circulated through a silent electric discharge.
  • Depending on where you reside in the UK, fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that is present in water in variable concentrations. It is added to many types of toothpaste and, in some locations, the water supply through a procedure known as fluoridation because it can aid in the prevention of tooth decay.
  • Fluoride stops tooth decay by strengthening the enamel's resistance to acid attack. They also quicken the process of good minerals accumulating in the enamel, further delaying the onset of deterioration. Studies also suggest that fluoride may occasionally be able to stop tooth decay that has already begun.
