Answer:

The rain falling in New England is 2.29 times more acidic than the one in the American Midwest.

Explanation:

The acidity of a solution depends on the concentration of H⁺ ions ([H⁺]). We can calculate this concentration from the pH using the following expression.

pH = -log ([H⁺])

American Midwest

pH = -log ([H⁺])

5.02 = -log ([H⁺])

[H⁺] = antilog (-5.02) = 9.55 × 10⁻⁶ M

New England

pH = -log ([H⁺])

4.66 = -log ([H⁺])

[H⁺] = antilog (-4.66) = 2.19 × 10⁻⁵ M

The ratio of concentrations is:

\frac{2.19 \times 10^{-5} M  }{9.55 \times 10^{-6} M} =2.29

The rain falling in New England is 2.29 times more acidic than the one in the American Midwest.

Answer:

D. Many, many years of deposition

Explanation:

The layers of the rocks in one region of the parks are smooth and distinct, which are evidence of many, many years of deposition.

The layers on the rocks are because of different deposition of sediments. Different sediments deposited over the rocks through wind, water and ice over the ages.

Hence, the correct answer is D.
