Describe two ways that climate change can degrade soil in 3-4 sentences.

Chemistry

KonstantinChe [14]3 years ago

The two ways that climate change can degrade soil are due to carbon dioxide content in soil and its effect on the ecosystem.

Explanation:

When the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases the organisms such as microbes in the soil break down the organic matter and causes even more increase in the carbon dioxide content. This leads to the release of greenhouse gases which further releases a large amount of methane which is harmful.  

Secondly, there should always be a balance between the soil and the climate otherwise it would affect the natural and semi-natural ecosystems. When there are changes in the distribution of water to the plants it affects the hydro-logical cycle. Thus, climate change will naturally lead to changes in the functions of soil and degradation occurs.

How is electromagnetic energy fromthe microwave transformed into heat energy
zysi [14]

Answer:


First, the microwaves transmit kinetic energy to the water molecules of the food, heating the water molecules. Only, those that are not very deep into the food.


Second, the hot water molecules transmit heat by conduction to the other parts of the food.


Explanation:


1) Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. The same as any wave, they carry energy.


2) The wave length of microwaves are in the range of 0.001 mm to 1 m (shorter than radio waves and longer than infrared)


3) The microwaves of an oven, used to heat food, have a wave length aroun 12 cm.


4) The microwaves transmit energy to the water molecules in the food, by increasing the kinetic energy of water molecules. As result, the water molecules get hotter. Microwaves only penetrate about 1 cm inside the food (a potato for example) and from that the heat is transferred by conduction to the inner parts of the food.

Which two statements describe what happens to the nuclei of atoms during a fusion reaction? O A. Large nuclei break apart into t
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

D. Nuclei with small masses combine to form nuclei with larger masses.

B. A small amount of mass in the nuclei that combine is converted to energy

Explanation:

A nuclear fusion, in contrary to fission, is the process by which the nuclei of two atoms combine to form a much larger atom with a large nuclei. Likewise, during a fusion reaction, a large amount of energy is released from the small amount of mass in the nuclei (two) that combines.

According to this question, the following are true of a fusion reaction:

- Nuclei with small masses combine to form nuclei with larger masses.

- A small amount of mass in the nuclei that combine is converted to enormous energy.

Calculate the molar mass of carbon tetrafluoride (CF4) in grams per mole, rounding to proper significant figures, if mc= 12.01 u
Nata [24]

Answer:

molar mass of carbon tetrafluoride (CF4) is

(12.01 × 1 ) + ( 4 × 19.00)

= 12.01 + 76

= 88.01u

= 88u

Hope this helps
