Match the lithification processes.

Physics
1 answer:
butalik [34]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Recrystallization: contact pressure causing grains to "fuse" together

Cementation : precipitation of bonding agents between grains

Compaction : increase in density due to weight of overburden

Lithification is the process by which sediments are converted into sedimentary rocks. During this process, recrystallication, compaction and cementation of mineral grains occur.

The process starts with the compaction of sediments. The over burden weight of new sediments in the basin adds to the one originally deposited. This compresses the sediment. The volume of reduced and the density increases.

Recrystallization follows suit as the contact pressure of grains makes them fuse together. It is more like reworking of sediments. In this process, cementing materials can precipitate and cause sediments to be more fused together.

This is why most sediment are made up of clasts in a matrix of cementing materials.

A hot air balloon travels 18 kilometers west and then travels 50 kilometers east. What is the current position of the hot air ba
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

32 km east

Explanation:

In order to find the final position of the balloon, we need to calculate its total displacement.

We have:

- Displacement towards west: 18 km

- Displacement towards east: 50 km

The two vectors are on the same line: this means that we can simply add them together (taking into account the proper direction) to obtain the total displacement.

Taking east as positive direction and west as negative direction, we have:

d = 50 + (-18) = 50 - 18 = 32 km

And since it is positive, it means that the final position of the balloon is 32 km east from its initial position.

How fast, in meters per second, does an observer need to approach a stationary sound source in order to observe a 7.1 % increase
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

v0 = 24.42 m/s (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Increase in frequency = 7.1% =

Computation:

Assume n = 100%

n1 = [(v+v0)/(v+v1)]n

[100 + 7.1] =  [(344+v0)/(344+0)]100

107.1 =   [(344+v0)/(344)]100

v0 = 24.42 m/s (Approx)

How to play track and field
Ahat [919]

Explanation:

Track and Field is a sport, which is includes disciplines of running, jumping, and throwing events. The sport traces back to Ancient Greece. The first recorded examples of this sport were at the Ancient Greek Olympics. In Ancient Greece, only one event was contested, the stadion footrace. Later on, the game expanded to more events.Events of track and field are divided into three: track events, field events, and combined events. Track events consist of Sprints, middle-distance, long distance, hurdles and relays; Field events consist of jumps and throws; while combined events consist of pentathlon, heptathlon, and decathlon. Track and field is usually played outdoors in stadiums. The usual features of a track and field stadium are the outer running track, and the field within the track

Plutonium-239 is a radioactive isotope commonly used as fuel in nuclear reactors. The half-life of plutonium-239 is 24,100 year
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

72,300 years.

Explanation:

  • Initial mass of this sample: 504 grams;
  • Current mass of this sample: 63 grams.

What's the ratio between the current and the initial mass of this sample? In other words, what fraction of the initial sample hasn't yet decayed?

\displaystyle \frac{\text{Current Mass}}{\text{Initial Mass}} = \rm \frac{63\; g}{504\; g} = \frac{1}{8}.

The value of this fraction starts at 1 decreases to 1/2 of its initial value after every half-life. How many times shall 1/2 be multiplied to 1 before reaching 1/8? 2^{3} = 8. It takes three half-lives or 3\times 24100 = 72300 years to reach that value.

In certain questions the denominator of the fraction is large. It might not even be an integer power of 2. The base-x logarithm function on calculators could help. Evaluate

\displaystyle \log_{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{8}} = 3 to find the number of half-lives required. In case the base-x logarithm function isn't available, but the natural logarithm function \ln() is, apply the following expression (derived from the base-changing formula) to get the same result:

\displaystyle \frac{\displaystyle\ln{\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)}}{\displaystyle \ln{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}}.

Explain the mathematical equation for KVL (The voltage of a circuit through each component in that circuit is proportional to th
deff fn [24]

Explanation:

Kirchhoffs Voltage Rule, or KVL, explains that "the overall voltage throughout the circuit in any closed loop network is equal to the sum of all voltage decreases inside the same loop" which is equivalent to zero. In other words, the mathematical sum of all within the loop voltages must be equal to zero.
