How does paving parking lots and roads with concrete or asphalt affect surface water and groundwater?

1 answer:

7 0

Parking lots with roads and concrete reduce infiltration. Infiltration is the process by which water penetrates the soil. Reducing the amount of water that enters the soil can eventually impact groundwater levels in some areas by decreasing it over time. Paved roads lead to increased surface runoff which increases the possibility of flooding in periods of heavy rainfall. This is known as urban flooding.

How does the heat from sun reach earth

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The sun heats the earth through radiation. Since there is no medium (like the gas in our atmosphere) in space, radiation is the primary way that heat travels in space. When the heat reaches the earth it warms the molecules of the atmosphere, and they warm other molecules and so on.

What are the differences between balloon framing and platform framing? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Why ha

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Difference : Balloon framing go through from foundation to top floor while Platform do not

advantages and disadvantages

Balloon framing : It has less vertical shrinkage ( disadvantage )

platform framing : It has more vertical shrinkage and fire stops ( advantage )

platform framing : It is easier and safer to use

Reason for platform framing :

Due to these advantages Platform framing has become a better choice

Little added fire stopping is required in platform framing because of double tap plate present which can act as as a fire stop

Steel beam/ glue laminated wood beam is preferred at foundation level because wood beam under the ground will most likely shrink over time

Explanation:

Differences : Balloon framing a form of building houses using a special kind of timber construction its studs start from the foundation and go to all the way to the last floor while in Platform framing the studs are interrupted by floor platforms ( i.e. they do not go through like in Balloon framing )

advantages and disadvantages

Balloon framing : It has less vertical shrinkage ( disadvantage )

platform framing : It has more vertical shrinkage and fire stops ( advantage )

platform framing : It is easier and safer to use
