Explain how water erosion by groundwater can form a cave.

Biology

Answer:

Groundwater can cause erosion through chemical weathering. First, water that sinks into the ground mixes with carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid, a weak acid. Carbonic acid can break down limestone. Some of the limestone changes chemically and is carried away in a solution of water. This gradually hollows out pockets in the rock. Over time, these pockets develop into large holes underground—caves or caverns.

Rainwater picks up carbon dioxide from the air and as it percolates through the soil, which turns into a weak acid. This slowly dissolves out the limestone along the joints, bedding planes and fractures, some of which become enlarged enough to form caves.

Water is one of the most powerful forces on Earth. How does the example shown here illustrate the theory of uniformitarianism?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The theory of uniformatrianism was proposed by James Hutton, a Scottish Geologist by profession.

This theory was a contrast proponent to the tenets of the theory of catastrophism in existence before then in the scientific circles

  The theory states that "the present is the key to the past and geologic processes occurring today have happened in the times past".

  • The theory correlates geologic processes as continuous in nature rather can punctuated situations.
  • Erosion occurring today has been changing the land surface on earth as far back into the geologic times and periods.
  • From the image, the erosional activities are still continuing today.

A patient with hyperlipidemia has been prescribed simvastatin. the nurse instructs the patient to undergo a liver function test
patriot [66]
There are choices for this question namely:

A. Cirrhosis
B. Hepatitis
C. Nephritis
<span>D. Rhabdomyolysis
</span>
The correct answer is "rhabdomyolysis". The major adverse effect that is related to simvastatin intake is rhabdomyolysis or the death of skeletal muscle tissue causing the release of myoglobin to the bloodstream. Myoglobin elimination through the kidneys may impair kidney function and cause acute renal failure that is why kidney function tests are requested. Myoglobin metabolism in the liver also puts stress to the organ that is why liver function tests should be requested.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The rise in the level of water indicates that CO2 is produced by germinating seeds during respiration. Actually, the germinating seeds respire and produce CO2.
