Answer:

estimated CEC for given hypothetical soil is  26.25 meq/100g.

Explanation:

Average CEC in smectite =  62.5 meq/100g. Since it ranges from(25-100 meq/100g)

Average CEC in kaolinite = 10 meq/100g.

Average CEC in organic matter = 325meq/100g.

Range(250-400 meq/100g).

Estimated CEC for given soil will be,

=30\% \times\ avg.\ CEC\ in\ smectite + 10\% \times \ avg.\ CEC\ in  \ kaolinite +2\% \times avg\ CEC\ in\ organic\ matter.

= 0.3\times 62.5 + 00.1 \times 10 + 0.02\times 325

= 26.25 meq/100g.

If a 30 °C air parcel rises from sea level to 3000 meters altitude and cools at the dry adiabatic rate, what will be its tempera
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

0^\circ C

Explanation:

Dry adiabatic lapse rate is defined as:

\Gamma = 9.8 ^\circ C/km

The air rises 3000 m, that is 3 km.

If it cools 9.8 ^\circ C each km its temperature drops approximately 30 ^\circ C. From 30 to 0.

Scorpion4ik [409]

The two tools used are:

  • A relationship existence between a galaxy's distance from Earth and also that of its speed.
  • The findings in the 1960s of  the presence of cosmic microwave background radiation.

<h3>What evidence is collected by each tool?</h3>

The evidence to support the big bang are:

  • There was found to be some red shifts of a lot of galaxies which connote that the universe is widening.  
  • Due to the widening of universe, new elements were formed such as hydrogen, deuterium and others.
  • Microwaves were found by orbiting detectors.

Therefore, The two tools used are:

  • A relationship existence between a galaxy's distance from Earth and also that of its speed.
  • The findings in the 1960s of  the presence of cosmic microwave background radiation.
