Answer:

The factors that affect the rate of deposition are: density of the sediment, size of the sediment and velocity of the agent of erosion. The texture and color of the sediment don't affect the rate of deposition.

Explanation:

Sedimentation is the deposit of transported materials. Deposition is about sediment accumulation, where the particles are added to a land mass. In a sediment, the particles can be defined according to their density, size and shape, which allows to define, with a certain degree of uncertainty, their rate of deposition (which is the deposition velocity) and erosion and transport processes. As a general rule, the particles more rounded, smaller and less dense are transported more easily, but the heavier particles and denser land first. When the fine sediments are added, the sedimentation rate is accelerated. Erosion is the wear of the rocks by external agents, these terms of erosion and deposition depend on a critical velocity of erosion and deposition, respectively, if the friction rate falls below the critical deposition value, the phenomenon that occurs it is the deposition.

I think it would be Velocity of the agent of erosion, Size of the sediment, and possibly density of the sediment, but I'm not completely sure about the density. I do know, however, that it would have to be size and velocity of erosion. Hope this helps!

The next layer is the ____________ where the existing, columnar chondrocytes enlarge and thus force the separations between lacu

Verdich [7]

Answer:

(b)- zone of hypertrophy

Explanation:

Hypertrophic cells synthesize alkaline phosphatase by calcifying the surrounding area; prevent the diffusion of substances, this causes chondrocyte death; therefore, the matrix degrades and the lagoons converge, then the blood vessels proliferate in the collarete to vascularize the cavity. The primitive periodic cells migrate to the vascular borders to become osteoprogenitor cells which are attached to the cartilaginous spicules leaving the degradation of the calcified cartilage, then they become osteoblasts. The combination of cartilage and bone matrix forms a mixed spicule.

Endochondral bone growth begins in the second trimester of fetal life and goes to adulthood, in it there is presence of epiphyseal cartilage.

The epiphyseal cartilage has several areas including:

Hypertrophy zone: it is composed of large chondrocytes that accumulate glycogen. The matrix is compressed between the hypertrophied cartilaginous columns.

The atp synthase uses this gradient to restore adp back to atp. what is this process called?

sertanlavr [38]

The process is called OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION.
Oxidative phosphorylation is the process by which a free phosphate ion is added to ADP in order to produce ATP. This process take place in the mitochondrion and is a major source of energy for anaerobic organisms. The free phosphate ion is usually transferred from NADH or FADH2.

An ultrasound tech is trying to identify an object, but the machine is broken and is not sending out the sound wave. Which state

Alex_Xolod [135]

The answer to the given question above would be the second option. If an ultrasound tech is trying to identify an object, the machine is not functioning well and is not sending out the sound wave, the statement that best describes this situation is that the sound wave will not be made, so there will be no echo received. Hope this helps.

What type of rock would you form in this environment, showing a dried up lake bed?

makvit [3.9K]

In a dried up lake bed, it is expected for rock salt and evaporite minerals to be observed.

Rock salt, or halite, is the mineral form of sodium chloride ("NaCl" or table salt). Evaporite is a general term for water-soluble mineral sediments that form from the concentration and crystallization of the "mineral-containing (aqueous) solution," mostly by evaporation. They are considered as sedimentary rocks.

Lakes are freshwater bodies and thus usually form non-marine evaporites while oceans and seas form marine evaporites. Nonmarine evaporites include blödite, borax, epsomite, gaylussite, glauberite, mirabilite, thenardit, trona, and also halite, gypsum, and anhydrite (which are more commonly found in oceans and seas).
