A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure formed by geological processes.

A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals. It may also contain organic remains and mineraloids apart from regular mineral formations. Since rocks vary in their mineral and chemical composition, they are classified according to the process of their formation.

What factors cause friction and thermal energy to increase? I need help ASAP!
VladimirAG [237]

Explanation:

Friction occurs because no surface is perfectly smooth. Rougher surfaces have more friction between them. Heavier objects also have more friction because they press together with greater force. Friction produces heat because it causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster and have more energy.

A room that has an average ambient sound pressure level of 62 dBA and a maximum sound pressure level lasting more than a minute
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

A fire alarm notification appliance is an active fire protection component of a fire alarm system. The primary function of the notification appliance is to alert persons at risk.

If want the audible public mode signal to be hear clearly then, we need to have a sound level that is at least 15dB above the average ambient sound level or 5dB above the maximum sound level of at least 1minute

In this case the,

The average ambient sound level is 62dB,

And the maximum sound level is 68dB

Then, the public mode signal should be at least

1. 62dB+ 15dB=77dB

Or

2. 68dB +5dB =73dB.

Then the public mode signal hearing must be at least 77dB.
