Explain the general process of chemical weathering.

1 answer:

8 0

It’s the process by which rocks are broken down by chemical reactions so when iron in rocks reacts with oxygen, it forms iron oxide, which weakens the rock. Carbonation is the mixing of water with carbon dioxide to make carbonic acid. This type of weathering is important in the formation of caves.

A circle has a diameter

torisob [31]

The circumference of circle is 20.096 units

Solution:

Given that circle has a diameter with endpoints at (10, 8) and (5, 4)

To get the diameter, find the distance between the end points

The distance between two points is given by formula;

$d=\sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^{2}}$

Here the points are (10, 8) and (5, 4)

$(x_1, y_1) = (10, 8)\\\\(x_2, y_2) = (5, 4)$

Substituting the values we get,

$\begin{aligned}&d=\sqrt{(5-10)^{2}+(4-8)^{2}}\\\\&d=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}=\sqrt{25+16}=\sqrt{41}\end{aligned}$

$d = \sqrt{41} = 6.4$

Thus the diameter is 6.4 units

The circumference of the circle is given by formula:

$c = \pi d$

Where "d" is the diameter of circle

$c = 3.14 \times 6.4 = 20.096$

Thus circumference of circle is 20.096 units

Earthshine is illumination seen during which phase of the moon?

Slav-nsk [51]

Earthshine is even more faint because the moon's "albedo" (a specific kind of reflectivity) is less than Earth's. Even though this dim light is only a reflection it can still illuminate some features of the moon. Earthshine can be best seen during the crescent phases (the 1-5 day period before or after a New Moon).

How did the sephradic jews who immigrated to israel differ from the ashkenazi jews?

sergey [27]

They differ in some social and ritual customs, and in some aspects of their cuisine.

These 'surface' differences stem from their respective historical geographic origins. The history of the 'Sephardim' springs from western Europe and North Africa, including Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Morocco, Egypt, and Arabia. The history of the 'Ashkenazim' is rooted in Eastern Europe, including Germany, Poland, the Baltics, Russia, and the 'Stans' ... Tajik, Kazakh, Uzbek, etc.

One fascinating feature of this split, isolated evolution of Judaism ... and there are many ... is the fact that even though the two streams evolved, with almost zero contact, for as much as 1,000 years, a Sephardic Torah scroll and an Ashkenazic Torah scroll are totally identical, down to the last character in every one of their 10,290 lines of text written in 245 columns.
