In what way do the geosphere and hydrosphere connect? ... The geosphere, in turn, reflects the sun's energy back into the atmosphere. The biosphere receives gases, heat, and sunlight (energy) from the atmosphere. It receives water from the hydrosphere and a living medium from the geosphere.
Answer:
The correct answer is - rainwater or groundwater form carbonic acid that dissolves sections of bedrock.
Explanation:
A sinkhole is a natural hole or cave-like structure formed on the surface of the due to the chemical weathering of sections of bedrock made of carbonate rocks like limestone, dolomite, as well as salt beds or rocks.
Rainwater or groundwater comes in contact with CO2, a weak acid known as carbonic acid is formed, That can dissolves or weathers the lime stone or the carbonate rock of sections of the bedrocks and makes huge cracks or hollow out vast networks of caves.
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill happened in 2010 and is known as the worst oil spill that has ever happened in the Gulf of Mexico. In this event, 5 million barrels of oil were poured into the sea, which resulted in the death of 7 workers, in addition to the destruction of much of the local ecosystem.
This spill lasted 87 days and spread for about 1500 km in the Gulf of Mexico, contaminating the water and killing thousands of animals. Although a team from Deepwater Horizon carried out a cleaning of the site, there are still traces of the leaked oil, which indicates that the ecosystem has not fully recovered. In addition, researchers were able to find petroleum compounds in many animals in the region and even in bird eggs.
1 light year = 9.5×10^15m
Distance from sun=149.6×10^3
Divide =6.3×10^10 ×8min
Then proceed
