Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

<u>Eskers are the long ridges that are comprised of rocks, sands and clay particles and are deposited towards the end of the glaciers</u>. These are fluvioglacial depositional features. These particles are exposed after the glaciers recede. These ridges are formed parallel to the earlier flow direction of ice. The size of eskers is generally smaller as it carries smaller particles such as rocks, sands, and gravels, in comparison to the different type of moraines. It is because the flow velocity decreases as the glaciers melt. So, these eskers are formed at the end of the glaciers.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

How do electrons differ from protons and neutrons? A. They do not move. B. They are larger. C. They are not in a fixed position.

nikdorinn [45]

Hi!

Electrons are particles which basically 'orbit' around the nucleus. Protons and neutrons are condensed, in a fixed position inside the nucleus.

With this in mind, the answer will be C.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

-BARSIC- [3]

Answers:

A) 2040 kg/m³; B) 58 600 km

Explanation:

A) Density

$V = \frac{ 4}{3 }\pi r^{3} = \frac{ 4}{3 }\pi\times (\text{1150 km})^{3} = 6.37 \times 10^{9} \text{ km}^{3}$

$\text{Density} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} = \frac{1.3\times 10^{22} \text{ kg} }{6.37 \times 10^{9} \text{ km}^{3}}\times (\frac{\text{1 km}}{\text{1000 m}})^{3} = \text{2040 kg/m}^{3}$

<em>B) Radius</em>

$\text{Volume} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}} = \frac{5.68\times 10^{26} \text{ kg} }{687 \text{ kg/m}^{3} }= 8.268 \times 10^{23} \text{ m}^{3}$

$V = \frac{ 4}{3 }\pi r^{3}$

$r^{3} = \frac{3V }{4 \pi }\$

$r= \sqrt [3]{ \frac{3V }{4 \pi } }$

$r= \sqrt [3]{ \frac{3\times 8.268 \times 10^{23} \text{ m}^{3}}{4 \pi } }= \sqrt [3]{ 1.974 \times 10^{23} \text{ m}^{3}}= 5.82 \times 10^{7} \text{ m}=\text{58 200 km}$
