Answer:

The correct answer is option B, lower than the threshold velocity for sand

Explanation:

Threshold velocity of the soil is the velocity where soil has overcome the gravitational force and the inter particle force and it starts moving. The factors which affect the threshold velocity of soil are –

a) Lower the sand content , higher will be the threshold velocity

b) Size of aggregates in the soil – the larger the size of the aggregate the larger will be its velocity

c) Size of soil particles – soils with soil particle size greater than 1 mm shall move easily.  

Considering all the above three factors, it is clear that the threshold velocity of silt is lower than that of sand as the sand content in silt is high and also its particles are finer than that of sand particles.

3. Why is active transport necessary for the sodium-potassium pump to work? A. The sodium would never leave a cell while potassi
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Active transport necessary for the sodium-potassium pump to work because  It allows sodium and potassium to move against their concentration gradient.

Explanation:

The transport of sodium ions outside the cell and potassium ions inside the cells is called active transport that requires the ATP hydrolysis. ATP provides the energy required for this procedure. This sodium-Potassium pump works to move the ions against their concentration gradient to keep the sodium concentration low inside the cells and potassium concentration high inside the cells.

Which of the following is the largest particle in soil? A-clay B-sand C-silt D-humus
Akimi4 [234]

Well the soil classification is usually done on the basis of particle sizes and composition of soil.

<span>Clay </span>usually consists of particles less than 0.075 mm in size. It is a sticky soil and shows great changes in volume with variation in its water contact. It also shows considerable strength when air dried.

<span>Silt </span>has larger particles than clay and are mainly inorganic in nature. The particle size is less than 0.075mm and exhibits slightly plastic or non plastic behaviour.

Humus is soil consisting of dead and decaying organic matter. It is mainly organic in content but some inorganic particles may be mixed in it. The top soil in a tropical forest may be considered as humus.

BRAINLIESTTTT ASAP!!!<br><br> What roles do society, politics, and economics play in science?
ser-zykov [4K]
So what roles do society, politics, and economics play in science?Economics determines how much money is available to fund scientific research. Certain federal grants come directly out of the national economy, which determines if certain research projects can continue or are cut off.Politics affect science by passing some bills that directly affects science, congressmen can determine whether those funds from the economy will be used for research or not. Just a side note: wealthy lobbyists control alot of what politicians do, by donating millions into their election campaigns. Society affects science by our citizens democratically electing those politicians that we think will or will not endorse scientific research projects. For example, embryonic stem cell research has been under fire by conservatives for taking future babies' cells to study. Liberals, however, tend to be in favor of change and new advances scientifically
_____________________________________________________________

if you need it shorter "Society, made up of the country's citizens, can influence science by electing politicians (president and congressmen); the politicians can then affect the economic funding of scientific research, either by increasing or decreasing government grants to scientific projects."
