Plant material that accumulates and hardens on the floor of a swamp is

Geography

Semenov [28]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

F Anthracite (the hardest coal)

Explanation:

Coal is a sedimentary rock that is formed from plant materials. These plant materials must have been trapped and compacted in an environment where they are not able decay. Such an environment is a swamp.

The first grade of coal that forms initially in such an environment is called PEAT. Peat is soft coal that still contains some plant materials. It has a high moisture content and the amount of carbon is still quite low.

With increasing pressure and compaction, PEAT grades into LIGNITE which has more carbon atoms in it. Lignite is more combustible although it is quite soft too. Lignite grades into SUB-BITUMINOUS coal and then BITUMIOUS coal.

The highest grade of coal is ANTHRACITE which is a hard coal. It has very little moisture content and rich carbon percentage in it. Anthracite yields more energy compared to other forms of coal. Anthracite is basically coal that forms at the greastest pressure. Beyond this pressure, a metamorphic transformation occurs and the coals changes to graphite.

Based on increasing pressure:

PEAT< LIGNITE< BITUMINOUS COAL < ANTHRACITE

Which of these outcomes is a positive effect of ecotourism on the<br> environment?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

c. Ecotourism fosters appreciation of nature and local cultures.

Explanation:

Options:

a. Ecotourism takes money away from conservation.

b. Ecotourism can exploit local peoples and increase crime rates.

<u>c. Ecotourism fosters appreciation of nature and local cultures.</u>

d. Ecotourism traffic can harm delicate ecosystems.

Ecotourism refers to a type of tourism that is sustainable and responsible. Although there have been many cases in which people are not responsible and actually cause harm to the environment, usually ecotourism could be extremely beneficial for both nature and the economy.

Ecotourism motivates people to care for nature, to appreciate fauna in the wild - instead of trapped in swimming pools or in a circus, to get to know people from other cultures such as tribes and indigenous groups and their lifestyles. Ecotouristic companies provide thousands of jobs and their tours also contribute significantly to the economy of a country. For instance, responsible whale watching provides millions of dollars yearly to the economy of Mexico. People are able to observe whales in their natural habitat, to listen to their vocalizations, and observe their natural undisturbed behavior.

The swamps that were turned into coal over time grew at the end of this
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Paleozoic

Explanation:

The Paleozoic Era is a geologic era that lasted from 541 to 251.902 million years ago. This is divided into six geologic periods: the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian. The swamps that were turned into coal over time grew during the Carboniferous period, which expands from 358.9 million years ago to 298.9 million years ago. The period is well-known because many coal beds were formed during that time period. During the Carboniferous, terrestrial animals were well-established. It ended with a minor extinction event known as the Carboniferous rainforest collapse.

What is magnetic susceptibility? Explain how it relates to magnetisation and provide two applications that commonly use magnetic
marissa [1.9K]

Answer: Magnetic susceptibility is way to measure how attracted or repelled a material is when exposed to a magnetic field.

Explanation: Magnetic susceptibility is related intimately to magnetization, since this is the procedure of exposing some material to a magnetic field itself, turning it permanently or momentarily magnetic. A magnetic field has <u>permanent dipole moments</u> between two magnetic materials, creating <u>electric currents.</u> Two examples of its applications are for paleomagnetic studies in geology and also structural geology.
