Answer:

It is a well known fact that the earth rotates around the sun in an inclined axis which is approximately 23 degree. The inclined nature of earth axis causes variation in the solar heat received at any place on the earth surface. The hemisphere facing the sun due to this axial tilt, gets higher sun energy as compared to the opposite side. The hemisphere which faces the sun will experience summer whereas the hemisphere away from sun will experience winter.

In each of the hemisphere the polar areas will receive higher radiation and longer daytime during the summer season. However it has been observed that there is difference in radiation received at different areas of earth surface and radiated. The tropical areas have lower reflectance and thus a large part of incoming solar radiation have been absorbed along the tropics. The poles though have longer daytime during summer and hence greater solar radiation but due to high reflectance radiate more energy. Thus the tropical areas have surplus energy as compared to deficit energy areas of poles. This difference in energy creates a heat imbalance.

This net heat difference between poles and equator gives rise to a global circulation system leading to flow of heat from the net energy excess areas to deficit areas. This circulation takes place through atmosphere as well as oceans and different process of climate viz. evaporation, transpiration, rainfall, wind, convection, oceanic circulations etc work as tools of this system

A subsurface exploration report shows that the average water content of a fine-grained soil in a proposed borrow area is 22% and
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

shrinkage ratio  = 1.538

Explanation:

given data

water content = 22 %

dry density γ = 82 pcf

required dry density specified γ' = 96 pcf

required to produce = 50,000 yd³  = 50000 × 27 = 1350,000 ft³

solution

we get here first volume of borrow pit that is we know that

dry density ∝  \frac{1}{volume}  

so \frac{\gamma d}{\gamma 'd}  = \frac{v'}{v}

\frac{82}{96}  = \frac{1350000}{v}

v = 1580487.8 ft³

v = 58536.58 yd³

so here

shrinkage ratio will be as

shrinkage ratio = \frac{96}{62.4}  

shrinkage ratio  = 1.538

belka [17]

Answer: True

Explanation: There are different actions that are performed on the metal sheet . Cutting operation is the operation of splitting,slitting or parting of the metal sheet on the by using different kind of blades . Formation operation are basically for the exerting pressure on the sheet to give it desired shape such as bending, squeezing etc. Therefore the given statement is true.
