What is a medial moraine, and how is it formed?

1 answer:

4 0

A medial moraine is a narrow band of rock debris which usually runs down the centre of the glacier. It forms from the merging of the lateral moraines of two glaciers and often occurs in regions that have been acted upon by a past ice age.

Does anyone know the answer to this ? What happens if you poke a hole in the plastic bottle of a balloon lung model?

o-na [289]

Then the model will become useless. originally the bottle should be air tight only tubes connected to the balloons, so that pressure can be shown when you adjust the plastic sheet in the bottom of the model. but now if there's a hole, air can move freely in or out the bottle and the model will not be able to show anything that occurs during respiration

Using a geometric growth model to predict population growth, a population of 10 individuals at time zero with a finite growth ra

Grace [21]

Answer: Option E, in 12 years.

Explanation:

A geometric growth model is characterized by its finite growth rate, known as lambda. The size of the population after a unit of time has passed can be calculated using the last known size and lamba as:

$N_{t+1} = \lambda * N_t$

Starting from the initial value of population, the next one will be calculated multiplying by 1.4, and the next one multiplying again by 1.4, thus we can define a function that relates the time passed in year to the size of the population:

$N(t) = \lambda^{t} *N_0$

Substituting our values we get the function that defines the growth of our poupulation:

$N(t) = 1.4^{t} *10$

Then, we just have to clear the t that gives a population of 500:

$500 = 1.4^t*10, divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 10\\50 = 1.4^t, apply\ log_{1.4}(x)\ to\ both\ sides\\log_{1.4}(50)=t\\11.63=t$

Thus, at 12 years, the population will be greater than 500.

How do long-shore currents shape the land? Need a bit of explanation too.

mrs_skeptik [129]

The waves move toward land. When waves crash into the land over a long time, they can break rock down into smaller pieces. These pieces are called sand. A shoreline is a place where the land and the water meet.
