Answer:

option (c) 14.7 lbs

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Area of the column = 1 square inch

Now,

we know Air pressure at the ground surface level from the atmosphere

= 14.7 Psi

also, it can be represented as

14.7 Psi = 14.7 pounds per square inch

Therefore,

Weight of the air weigh within a column that is 1 square inch in area

= Air pressure × Area

= 14.7 pounds per square inch × 1 square inch

= 14.7 pounds i.e 14.7 lbs

Hence,

The answer is option (c) 14.7 lbs

16. Which process(es) cause(s) thick sediment layers to accumulate along the boundaries of continental
taurus [48]

<u>Answer: </u>

The process of thick sediment layers to "accumulate" along the "boundaries of continental and oceanic plates" is called Subduction.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • During a marine transgression, sea level raises high compared to land level resulting in floods. These are triggered during climate changes, ice-age, isostatic movements.
  • Subduction occurs at the tectonic plates where one plate is moves under another forcing to sink into Earth’s mantle due to the gravitational force.
  • The plates are continental and oceanic in the zone of lithosphere. The rate of subduction is usually seven to 8 centimetres per year.
  • Marine regressions are opposite to transgressions where sea levels fall compared to land levels.
  • Glaciation is the interval of time within an ice-age. The current glacier period is of Holocene.

Arisa [49]

Hi there,

The climate in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran is mainly Desert.

Those places are located around the Middle East area and the Middle East is covered in dry hot sand so it'll make sense that Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran is a desert.

Hope this helped :)

Have a great day
