Answer:

Limestone cave collapsing due to changes in sea level.

Explanation:

Sinkholes are common where the rock below the land surface is limestone or other carbonate rock, salt beds, or in other soluble rocks, such as gypsum, that can be dissolved naturally by circulating ground water. Sinkholes also occur in sandstone and quartzite terrains.

Answer:

Option B. Limestone cave collapsing due to changes in sea level.

Explanation:

Sink holes, as their name suggests, are formed by the collapse of limestone caves due to changes in sea levels. This occurs due to special properties of limestone.

Limestone is calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). It easily breaks down when it comes in contact with an acidic environment. This causes the rocks to start flaking off. The limestone caves are formed into two features: stalagmites and stalactites. Stalagmites are pointed features that originate from the floor of the curve.

Stalactites are sharp pointed extrusions that hang down from the ceiling of the roof. Because of the continued melting, the limestone eventually gives in, collapsing and the ground above it collapsing as well. This results in a sinkhole.

A person is listening to a tone of 500 Hz sitting from a distance of 450 m from the source of the sound. What is the time interv
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

ΔX = λ = 0.68 m

Explanation:

Wave speed is related to wavelength and frequency by the equation

          v = λ f

where the speed of sound is 340 m / s

          λ = v / f

          λ = 340/500

          λ = 0.68 m

this is the wavelength, it is the minimum distance for which the wave epitates its movement, which is equal to the distance between two consecutive compressions of the sound

          ΔX = λ = 0.68 m

LuckyWell [14K]

Since the frequency of sound in a medium is constant, therefore, the concert-goers would hear the low notes and high notes at the same time.

<h3>What is a dispersive medium?</h3>

A dispersive medium is a medium which spreads out or disperses a substance passing through it.

Since CO2 is a dispersive medium, it means sound waves passing through it would be dispersed based on wavelength.

The note of a sound depends on its frequency, the higher the frequency, the higher the note.

Frequency of sound is constant, therefore, the concert-goers would hear the low notes and high notes at the same time.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

Fire cut of fireman cut is diagonal cut which is provided at the end of the beam to prevent the fall of masonry wall if a fire breaks out in the building.

Fire cut allows joist to leave if it fails without affecting the masonry wall standing.

Without fire cut, the burnt beam will rotate downward affecting the connection of beam and wall and leading to damage it.
