Answer:

The correct answer is option C, high winds

Explanation:

A steep gradient signifies fast change in the pressure of the gas. Usually the pressure of a gas changes very fast over a short duration of time when it has a steep gradients. The isobars for the same gas are closely spaced which also means change in gaseous properties with in a short period of time. Thus, Steep pressure gradient symbolizes a variable strong wind with high speed.

Hydroelectric power is produced using the energy of moving water. Which description tells how this process is accomplished? Wate
Ad libitum [116K]

The correct answer is; Water flowing downstream is held up in a reservoir behind a dam. Some water moves down channels through turbines connected to generators which produce electricity.

Further Explanation:

Hydroelectric power is being used more in recent times than in the past. Hydroelectric power is a more cleaner energy source than the coal plants that produce electricity.

Hydroelectric power plants are built within a dam system and uses the water as source of energy. The water goes into channels created that hits the turbines, the turbines are then moved around by the water and these are connected to the large generators and this produces electric. There are many new hydroelectric plants being built. One of the newest hydroelectric power plants is located in Pella, Iowa.

Ionic compounds are formed from ionic bonds, whereby an electron is transferred from the metal cation to the nonmetal anion. Ion
Karolina [17]

Answer:

NaI

Explanation:

In I₂, HI and IBr, both atoms are nonmetals and they form covalent bonds in which electrons are shared.

In NaI, Na is a metal and I a nonmetal, so they form an ionic bond, where Na loses an electron to form Na⁺ and I gains an electron to form I⁻.  Anions and cations are attracted to each other through electrostatic forces.

Since ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds, more energy is required to break them in the melting process, thus having higher melting points.

All in all, NaI is the one with the highest melting point.

Describe reflection, refraction, and absorption.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Refraction is the bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different, like going from the air (gas) to a glass of water (liquid). Absorption is when light energy penetrates an object. Typically this energy is then converted to heat.
