Halite and sulfur are the two minerals that you can taste and identify. Halite has a salty taste on it and Sulfur has a rotten egg taste. I would rather taste Halite more than Sulfur.

Which of the following does not contribute to long-term climate change?
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

b. sunspot activity

Explanation:

  • As the sunspots are dark and cooler spots on the surface of the sun and they are formed due to a cycle of 11 years and don't directly impact the long term climate cycle of the onset earth as the rise and fall in the sea levels and the movement of the ice sheets and the tectonic upliftment are not caused by them and thus they are not responsible for the climatic changes on earth.
  • <u>Sun energy is needed d to keep the net active and with the presence of the sun the earth world has temperature extremes and no rotational motion thus long term climatic patterns are dependent on the planet's internal framework.</u>

Write explanatory notes on 5 important microbiological events that have had a significant impact on society. (20)
posledela

Explanation:

  1. Microscopes: Anton van Leeuwenhoek is considered the precursor of cellular and experimental biology as well as microbiology, in 1674, he used a homemade microscope to become the first person to discover microbes, he described seeing animalcules in a drop of water, he also discovered red blood cells and bacteria in 1676.
  2. Pasteurization: it's a process in which water and certain foods like milk and juice, are treated with mild heat, usually before boiling point, to eliminate pathogens. It was named after Louis Paster, who in the 1860s demonstrated that heating beverages to about 57°C for a few minutes could prevent abnormal fermentation, this treatment also destroys microorganisms that cause spoilage and so it prolongs the storage time of food.
  3. Koch postulate: In 1890, Robert Koch set out his criteria for judging whether a bacteria is the cause of a disease. These postulates are: The bacteria must be present in every case of the disease, it must be isolated from the host and grow in culture, the disease is reproduced when a bacteria from the pure culture is inoculated into a healthy host, the bacteria must be recoverable from the infected host. These postulates are useful to find the cause-effect relationship between bacteria and clinical disease.
  4. Antibiotics: In 1928, Alexander Fleming, discovered mold as an antibacterial agent after this one contaminated his<em> Staphylococcus aureus </em>dishes, inhibiting it's growing, this mold was then named penicillin and it was the beginning of a transformation in human health.
  5. Vaccines: the first successful vaccine development was introduced in 1796 by Edward Jenner, this advance was achieved after he followed up his observation of milkmaid who previously caught cowpox did not later catch smallpox by showing that inoculated cowpox protected against inoculated smallpox.

Stratovolcanoes – Mt. Vesuvius, Italy. Fly to Mt. Vesuvius in Italy and turn on the Pompeii Pyroclastic Flow tour (run the tour
tatiyna

Answer:

The pyroclastic surge would take 1.609 minutes to reach the site of ancient Pompeii.

Explanation:

The ruins of Pompeii are about 5 miles away from Mount Vesuvius. A mile equals to 1.609 kilometers. If pyroclastic surge travels in a straight line at constant speed, then the time (t), in minutes, taken to reach the site of the ancient Pompeii can be determined by the following kinematic equation:

t = \frac{x}{v} (1)

Where:

x - Travelled distance, in kilometers.

v - Speed of pyroclastic surge, in kilometers per hour.

If we know that x = 8.045\,km and v = 300\,\frac{km}{h}, then the time needed to reach the site of ancient Pompeii is:

t = \frac{8.045\,km}{300\,\frac{km}{h} }\times 60\,\frac{min}{h}

t = 1.609\,min

The pyroclastic surge would take 1.609 minutes to reach the site of ancient Pompeii.
