The process of soil formation involves the following steps: Accumulation of materials, leaching and losses (because of weather factors particles are leached and eroded away or taken up from the soil by plants), Transformation and illluviation (the chemical weathering<span> of silt, sand, and the formation of clay minerals as well as the change of organic materials into decay resistant organic matter), p</span>odsolisation and translocations (strong acidic solutions breakdown the clay minerals). From the given options soil formation involves both <span>physical and chemical weathering of rocks. Correct answer:D</span>
I believe it is the first one
Silicon is used in the manufacturing of microchips and is also used in motherboards. We use it in our daily lives. It is a high tech element.
<span>The energy of a single photon is given by E = hc/lambda, where h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and lambda is the wavelength.
Plugging the values in gives E = 6.63E-34 x 3.00E8 / 700E-9 = 2.84E-19 Joules
Now one mole of substance is equivalent to 6.02E23 particles, so one mole of these photons will be:
2.84E-19 x 6.02E23 = 1.71E5 Joules</span>
