Answer: - The heat of the sun could break down the rock.

- Tall, powerful waves could carry the rock into the ocean.

- The rock could react to seawater, break down, and be carried away by the sea.

Erosion is a natural phenomena in which the top surface of the soil or the rock  is displaced or carried away to different location. It disturbs the fertility of the soil. The physical agents responsible for erosion are water, wind, heat and others.

The three ways the small rock that lies on a slope near a tropical sea could be eroded are:

The heat of the sun could break down the rock: The sunlight incident on the rock can weak the external structure of the rock and the loosen particles are displaced by either wind and water.

Tall, powerful waves could carry the rock into the ocean: The waves can displaced the rocks away from actual place causing erosion.

The rock could react to seawater, break down, and be carried away by the sea: The sea water can bring chemical change in the rock structure and will enhance it's weathering.

Erosion is the removal of small particles from something, it’s not to be confused with weathering, which breaks a large thing into smaller things. By this definition of erosion, the first one and the last two are the answers. The second and third option describe weathering, but not erosion.

Watch the animation depicting Rutherford’s experiment and choose which of the following conclusions are correct.a. The atom cont
Lilit [14]

Answer:

a, b, c, d

Explanation:

Rutherford’ atomic model is based on the gold foil experiment. In this experiment, beam of alpha rays was bombarded on thin gold foil. He observed that:

Most of the alpha particles passed through thin foil without any deflection.

Few alpha particles deflected by an angle of 90o.

Based on observation, Rutherford concluded that majority of the space inside the atom is empty.

He explained defection of few alpha particles by assuming that most of the mass is concentrated at the nucleus and positively charged.  

Therefore, among given, the correct statements are:

The atom contains a positively charged nucleus.

Positive charge is condensed in one location within the atom.

The majority of the space inside the atom is empty space

The mass of an atom is concentrated at the nucleus

Therefore, the correct options are:

a, b, c, d

How many moles of KOH are in 130.0 mL of a 0.85 M solution of KOH? <br> Please help ASAP!!! :(
lana [24]

Answer:

0.1105 moles per 130 ml

Explanation:

For  1 L (1000) of solution, no of moles are =  0.85

For 1 ml of solution, no of moles are = 0.85/1000 moles

For 130 ml of solution, no of moles are=  0.85/1000 x 130

                                                                = 0.1105 moles per 130 ml
