Answer:

The Correct Answer is D.

Explanation:

As the Wind Blows it carry tiny particles of dust & sand and blasts big rocks with the abrasives particles, cutting and shaping the Rocks.
Winds carried sediments that get blown into other rocks causing them to chip and break.
Blowing Wind can carried away the particles of the rock which cause changes to the other landforms as particles collide with exposed rocks to form interesting shapes like a mushroom.

Hello!! WOW, what a coincidence! I just took this lesson and quiz yesterday, so the answer is still fresh in my mind!

The answer to your question is

D) Blowing sand can wear away a rock's surface and break it into smaller pieces

When wind blows, sure it can pick up dry soil and sand and relocate it, but that doesn't cause the weathering in rocks.

Wind doesn't create new landforms either, that comes from plate tectonic movements and other things.

I just eliminated B and C with the two sentences above, I really don't know how to eliminate A, just common sense i guess.

Please give me brainliest if I was correct and helpful!

Otherwise, please comment and let me know how I can fix my answer!

Thank you, it was fun, have a nice week!

The reaction is an unbalanced redox reaction hence, the reaction can be balanced by using the half-reaction method.

<h3>What is a redox reaction?</h3>

The term redox reaction refers to the reactionnin which electrons are transferred hence one specie is oxidized while the other specie is reduced.

Looking at the reation as shown, we can see that the reaction is an unbalanced redox reaction hence, the reaction can be balanced by using the half-reaction method.

Using the equation below, calculate the number of grams of H2O that are formed from the reaction of 34.0 g of NH3.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

54 grams of H₂O

Explanation:

4NH₃ + 3O₂ → 2N₂ + 6H₂O

Ratio is 4:6.

Let's convert the mass of ammonia in moles

Mass / Molar mass = Mol

34 g / 17 g/m = 2 moles

If 4 moles of ammonia are needed to produce 6 mol of water

2 mol of NH₃ will produce ( 2 .6 )/4 = 3 moles

Molar mass water = 18 g/m

Mass = mol . molar mass → 3 m . 18 g/m = 54 grams

An example of a scientific law is the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in

Amanda [17]

Answer:A) It was developed from past observations- true

It is subject to experimentation and revision.- false

It explains why mass is conserved- false

It predicts future observations-true

Explanation:

Before a hypothesis is proclaimed to be a law in science, numerous observation must have confirmed its validity and rigorous experimentation under carefully controlled conditions usually precedes the acceptance of a hypothesis as a law. The law of conservation of mass was developed from numerous past observation that proved its validity.
