What is a term called gradient in Earth Science?

Chemistry
1 answer:
goblinko [34]3 years ago
4 0
The gradient is the slope of a linear equation, represented in the simplest form as y = mx + b. In Earth Science, the gradient is usually used to measure how steep certain changes in elevation are.

In order to find the gradient in a topographical setting, one must know two things: the elevation of two points and the distance between the two points. Once these values are known, the gradient can be found by dividing the change in field value, or the change in elevation, by the distance. The higher the gradient value is, the steeper the slope is.

Which formula represents copper(I) oxide?<br> (1) CuO (3) Cu2O<br> (2) CuO2 (4) Cu2O2
faust18 [17]
The answer is (3) Cu2O. Copper (I) has an oxidation state of +1 (that's what the "I" indicates). You can also think of this as copper (I) having a charge of +1. Oxygen has an oxidation state of -2 (that's just a rule you have to know), and you can think of it as oxygen having a charge of -2. You need oxidation numbers in a neutral compound to add up to 0 (or charges in a neutral compond to add up to 0), so you need two Cu to balance the O, which is Cu2O.
