Answer:

ICE SHOVE

Explanation:

An Ice Shove is a situation or phenomenon that occurs when the wind carries or pushes melting ice from frozen lakes down to the lake shore.

Agents involved in the pushing of melting ice down to the lake shore includes: currents in the ocean, very strong winds as well as variations and fluctuations in the temperature of the lake.

Ice shoves can result in a pile up and accumulation of ice on the lake shore to be at about 30-40 feet high.

Ice shoves can result in negative effects in the lives of living organisms. Such negative effects includes:

a. Damages to the shoreline of the lakes

b. Damages to the habitats of any living organisms by the lake.

c. Damages to structures (buildings) that can be found at the lake shore.

Answer:

The two word term is "ICE SHOVES"

Explanation:

An ice shove also known as ice surge, ice heave, ivu, or shoreline ice pileup is simply a surge of ice which occurs from an ocean or large lake and drops on the shore. These ice shoves are usually caused by ocean currents, strong winds, or temperature differences which tend to push the ice to the shore. The ice shoves can create ice piles up to 12 metres high and more.

Ice shoves has been recorded in at least three lakes in the past years. They are Lake Dauphin (Manitoba, Canada), Mille Lacs Lake (Minnesota), Lake Winnebago (Wisconsin), etc.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

a) 0.022%

b) 10014.32 lb

Explanation:

a) Percentage uncertainty would be

$0.0001\times \frac{100}{0.4539}=0.022%$

Percent uncertainty is 0.022%

b) For 1 kg uncertainty mass in kg would be

$\frac{1}{0.022}\times {100}=4545.5\ kg$

Mass in pounds would be

$\frac{4545.5}{0.4539}=10014.32\ lb$

Mass in pound-mass is 10014.32 lb

A 7.5 cm object is 14 cm from a concave lens, which has a focal length of –7 cm. Its image is 5 cm in front of the lens. What is

Rama09 [41]

Given conditions:
height of object = 7.5cmdistance of object from mirror = 14 cmfocus length = -7 cmimage distance = ?
Using mirror formula:
1/(focus length) = 1/(object distance) + 1/(image distance)
or, -1/7 = 1/14 + 1/(image distance)
or, image distance = -4.66cm (the image formed is a virtual image)

Also, magnification of image is:
image height /height of object = - image distance /object distance
or, image height = - image distance / object distance * height of object
or, image height = -(-4.66) / 14 * 7.5 = 2.49 = 3(nearest whole number)
