Answer:

D. A measure of the amount of open space within unconsolidated sediment or rock

Explanation:

The porosity is a measure that tells us how much of a rock or sediment is actually an open space. This is a very important characteristic of the rocks and soils, as it determines how much, how easily, and to what depth a water can go inside the rocks or soils. Pretty much all rocks, and all of the soils underlie under this measurement, as most of them have at least very small open spaces in them, while some have much larger and more prominent spaces that are easily noticeable.

The distance from Alexandria to Syene is about 500 miles. On the summer solstice the sun is directly overhead at noon in Syene.

svp [43]

Answer:

Earth circumference is 25000 miles

correct option is 25,000 miles

Explanation:

we have given here Alexandria to Syene distance = 500 miles

the sun is 1/50th of the circumference of the sky (about 7°)

as we know that Earth circumference done by astronomer Eratosthenes in 240 B.C

He observe on a particular time of day ( in noon) during the summer solstice

and there was no shadow in Syene in Egypt so This was verified that the sun must be directly on overhead and not at an angle to the surface of the city at that time

In Alexandria he measured the position of sun at the same time and found it to be nearly (1/50)th of a complete circle

it would be 7.2 degree (when we do $\frac{360}{50}$ = 7.2)
