The correct answer is - chemical weathering.

The deserts are in general covered with sands. These sands are the result of weathering, mostly caused by the mechanical weathering of the wind. With the process of weathering of some of the minerals are created another minerals, like the iron oxide, which is possible only if the weathered minerals contained iron of course. Because the iron naturally has a reddish color, as the sends accumulate more and more, the desert starts to get that distinctive reddish coloration of its landscape.

What is the distance between (0,-8) and (3,2)

DerKrebs [107]

Answer: $\Large\boxed{Distance=\sqrt{109}}$

Explanation:

<u>Given information</u>

(x₁, y₁) = (0, -8)

(x₂, y₂) = (3, 2)

<u>Given the distance formula</u>

$Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

<u>Substitute values into the given formula</u>

$Distance=\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(2-(-8))^2}$

<u>Simplify values in the parenthesis</u>

$Distance=\sqrt{(3)^2+(2+8)^2}$

$Distance=\sqrt{(3)^2+(10)^2}$

<u />

<u>Simplify the exponents</u>

$Distance=\sqrt{9+100$

<u>Simplify by addition</u>

$\Large\boxed{Distance=\sqrt{109}}$

Hope this helps!! :)

If water is limited in an area, how do you think water should be allocated? Should it be used to support agriculture, or used in

Sergio [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Building and business closures for weeks or months reduce water usage, potentially leading to stagnant

water inside building plumbing. This water can become unsafe to drink or otherwise use for domestic or

commercial purposes. For example, optimal growth conditions for undesirable pathogens, such as

Legionella bacteria, can occur when hot water temperatures decrease and disinfectant residuals (e.g.,

chlorine) drop to low levels. Water chemistry changes may also increase corrosion and leaching of

metals, including lead, and may cause the formation of disinfection by-products. Turning on the water

for immediate use after it has been stagnant can pose a risk to public health if not properly managed.

Additionally, turning on water after a prolonged period of non-use could disrupt pipe and plumbing

scales to such an extent that microbial and chemical contaminants could be released into the water.
