Answer:

Option C, Wire mesh prevents rocks from sliding down the slope and onto the train track

Explanation:

Wire mesh is used as a barrier to the rock fall. Usually while working in mountainous or hilly regions,  use of heavy equipment’s and machine in construction activities produces seismic vibrations which can easily destabilize the rock slides in the mountainous regions. The detestable rocks tend to move downward. In order to prevent these rocks or rock slides from falling on to the clear site of highway/railway and also to keep the working man force safe from any sort of causality wire mesh are used to restrict the falling debris and rocks.

The correct answer would be c. Wire mesh prevents rocks from sliding down the slope and onto the train track as it would interfere with the train.

Explain how and why GISs were developed and first used and how they are used today.​
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The history of GIS all started in 1854. Cholera hit the city of London, England. British physician John Snow began mapping outbreak locations, roads, property boundaries, and water lines.

John Snow’s Cholera map was a major event connecting geography and public health safety. Not only was this the beginning of spatial analysis, but it also marked the start of a whole field of study: Epidemiology – the study of the spread of disease.

To this date, John Snow is known as the father of epidemiology. The work of John Snow demonstrated that GIS is a problem-solving tool. He put geographic layers on a paper map and made a life-saving discovery.

babymother [125]

Please, please pick me as brainiest. It would make my day!

Answer:

The best way to look at it is that mountain climbing is a sport that involves the scaling of a mountain in its entirety. ... However, rock climbing by itself is so extensive that it can be and often is its own sport. Some mountains are more easily traversed by hiking, such as Mount Baker.

Andrew is lactose intolerant. what happens to water movement in the presence of the double sugar, lactose, which remains in the
Juli2301 [7.4K]
When someone is lactose intolerant, it means its intestine cannot absorb lactose, which will stay in the lumen and be consumed by intestinal bacteria and produced gases, that's why intolerant lactose people have flatulence and abdominal pain while eating food with lactose in it.
Let's go back to the question, before being consumed, lactose in the lumen intestine will attract water from the enterocytes to its side by oncotic pressure.

Do not confound oncotic pressure (which concerns macromolecules like sugar or proteins) and osmotic pressure (which concern micromolecules like small ions (sodium potassium and chloride...)).
