Hunter-Best [27]3 years ago
7 0

Sedimentation is a phenomenon in which the particles settle down in the fluid in which it was entrained. The particles come to rest against a barrier. This phenomenon is due the various forces acting on the particles these forces can be centrifugal force, gravity electromagnetism. Sedimentation may be related to objects of various sizes. The sediments can be as small as the dust particles or can as large as the rock in flowing water. Even small molecules have the sufficient mount of force to produce sediments.

  • In chemistry sedimentation is used to measure the size of the particles.
  • In geology sedimentation is the settlement of particles carried away by wind.

what were the historical reasons for the resistance to recognizing airborne transmission during the covid-19 pandemic?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Up until a 1962 demonstration of tuberculosis airborne transmission, airborne transmission of all major respiratory diseases was assumed to be of insignificant or moderate consequence over the following fifty years.

Before COVID-19, only a small number of diseases—those that were blatantly spread to people not in the same room—were generally acknowledged as airborne. This is because the contact/droplet paradigm remained popular.

<h3>What does the term "airborne transmission" mean?</h3>
  • The term "airborne transmission" refers to the propagation of droplet nuclei (aerosols) that retain their infectious properties after being suspended in air for a lengthy period of time and over great distances.
  • Bacteria or viruses that cause airborne infections are most frequently spread by tiny respiratory droplets. When a person with the airborne sickness sneezes, coughs, laughs, or exhales in any other way, these droplets are released.

How does soil affect the surface of the earth
Blizzard [7]

The type of soil varies from place to place on our planet and can even vary from one place to another in your own backyard. Soil erosion, caused by wind and rain, can change land by wearing down mountains, creating valleys, making rivers appear and disappear.
