Which of the following is an example of biological weathering

1 answer:

3 0

An example of biological weathering is the widening of gaps in rocks caused by tree roots since pressure or stress is exerted on the rocks due to the growing plant roots. The pressure is exerted by a biological process (i.e., growing roots), even though the process is physical.

Plants and animals and its action speeds up mechanical and or chemical weathering, which in turn causes biological weathering.

With the help of the chemicals that are produced by the tiniest bacteria, algae and liches, the rocks which they live in are also broken down by them in order to get the nutrients they need.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

$D=1693742.7m$

Explanation:

For sound waves we have v=d/t where v is the speed of sound and d the distance between the astronauts, while for electromagnetic waves we have c=D/t where c is the speed of light and D the distance between the spaceship and Earth. We have written both times as the same because is what is imposed by the problem, so we have t=d/v=D/c, which means:

$D=\frac{dc}{v}$

And for our values:

$D=\frac{(2m)(299792458m/s)}{354m/s}=1693742.7m$

what device is made of coils of wire with an electrical current passing through it in order to generate a magnetic field

Umnica [9.8K]

Transformer

Explanation:

A transformer is a device with two or more magnetically coupled windings. A time varying current in one coil (primary winding) generates a magnetic field which induces a voltage in the other coil (secondary winding). Transformers are capable of either increasing or decreasing the voltage and current levels of their supply, without modifying its frequency, or the amount of electrical power being transferred from one winding to another via the magnetic circuit. There are two types of transformer:

1. Step up transformer - increases voltage

2. Step down transformer - decreases voltage
