Answer:

Sand dunes are formed by the wind, it is formed usually along the beach or desert. It is formed when the air continues to blow sand into an area behind an object. It continues to grow as grains of sand get condensed. The sand can be transported to a different location by saltation, surface creeps and by suspension where it can settle along with beach and desert in order to form dunes.

I wrote a paragraph summing the importance of Carbon a while back, see if it helps find your answer. :)

Carbon is an element on the periodic table with the symbol C, and the atomic number 6. There are many reasons that carbon is vital to life on earth, not only to humans but to plants as well. First of all, humans are made of eighteen percent carbon. It is not only found in humans, it is also found in every organism currently known, including plants in a technological way. To plants, carbon flows inside of their cells. They need it to create glucose which then works as food. To humans, it's used in many science sets. It is used in a vast array of compounds including gasoline. Gasoline is what keeps motors around the world running, and it's made up of hydrocarbons with at least 5 carbon atoms each. It also aids the greenhouse effect, keeping the earth warm and habitable by human beings.

Which planet is the moon thought to have come from originally?
Lisa [10]

The Moon is thought to have come from the Earth. In 1975, the giant impact hypothesis was put forward. This suggests that the Earth was hit by a planet about the size of Mars around the time of the formation of the solar system approximately 4.5 billion years ago, and the impact caused part of the outer layer of the Earth to spin off and form what is now the Moon.

The answer is 12.5%.
Each gram of protein has four calories. Therefore, 50 grams of protein contain 200 calories. In order to find the percentage of total energy intake that comes from protein, we need to do the division: 200/1600 * 100 = 12.5. Protein is needed for body growth and maintenance and energy.
