Explain how water erosion by groundwater can form a cave.

Biology

Mrac [35]3 years ago

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.

Which is true of the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane?
a_sh-v [17]

The correct option for the above statement is:

C. There is a water-loving side outside the cell.

Explanation:

The lipid bilayer is formed in such the simplest way that the hydrophobic facet is on within| and therefore the water affectioned (hydrophilic) facet is on the surface and inside.

It is a two-layered arrangement of phosphate and macromolecule molecules that is kind of cytomembrane, the hydrophobic macromolecule ends facing inward and therefore the hydrophilic phosphate ends facing outward.

Antidiuretic hormone that is synthesized and produced in the brain by the hypothalamus, is secreted from the pituitary gland, where it is stored. This hormone is released into the blood stream in response to changes in the water balance in the blood. This hormone helps the kidneys to control and regulate the amount of water in the blood

How are convection current in the mantle and in the oceans similar? How are they different?
Vanyuwa [196]

Hello,


Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Those forces are convection and gravity.


Convection describes the movement of gasses or liquids due to different temperatures. The convection currents just beneath Earth's crust flow very slowly, causing movement in the plates above them. These currents are different with the fact that they produce different plate movements. Ridge push occurs from the convection currents in the ocean. These occur at mid-ocean ridges, which are elevated higher than the rest of the ocean floor. In contrary, convection causes material in the mantle to flow. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.
