How does weathering affect Plateaus? 

Geography
1 answer:
kondaur [170]2 years ago
4 0
Basically physical and chemical  weathering (do not confuse with erosion, which involves movement) contribute to the destruction of mineral forms. In this case it breaks down the rocks, minerals and soils, creating slopes and hills. It may be caused by (any form of) water, wind, gravity, waves or sunlight.

What are geographic concepts, and how are they used in answering geographic questions?
lesya692 [45]
<span>Geographic concepts are ideas which posit connections between humans in both natural and cultural settings, they are connected to space and proximity and offer geographers a lens in which to consider and present information that they conclude about the world. Based upon these conclusions that can be drawn from these concepts, geographic questions can be answered with evidence from how humans interact with the world.

Sorry for asking again, but starting from 500 A.D. what were some of the natural resources of Japan?
SSSSS [86.1K]
<span>         Japan has significant coastal waters, which provide the country with fish and other seafood. However, the demand for fish is so high that it must be supplemented with imports from abroad. Although Japan has a small amount of arable land, the country has some of the highest crop yields in the world, producing over 60 percent of its own food each year. The country has adequate supplies of gold, silver, and magnesium, but it must import many of the minerals essential to its booming electronics industry, such as iron ore and copper.</span>

(3.3 x 103)(2 x 102)<br> [?] ~

Answer:

Scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers. For example, instead of writing 0.0000000056, we write 5.6 x 10-9. So, how does this work?

We can think of 5.6 x 10-9 as the product of two numbers: 5.6 (the digit term) and 10-9 (the exponential term).

Here are some examples of scientific notation.

10000 = 1 x 104 24327 = 2.4327 x 104

1000 = 1 x 103 7354 = 7.354 x 103

100 = 1 x 102 482 = 4.82 x 102

10 = 1 x 101 89 = 8.9 x 101 (not usually done)

1 = 100

1/10 = 0.1 = 1 x 10-1 0.32 = 3.2 x 10-1 (not usually done)

1/100 = 0.01 = 1 x 10-2 0.053 = 5.3 x 10-2

1/1000 = 0.001 = 1 x 10-3 0.0078 = 7.8 x 10-3

1/10000 = 0.0001 = 1 x 10-4 0.00044 = 4.4 x 10-4

As you can see, the exponent of 10 is the number of places the decimal point must be shifted to give the number in long form. A positive exponent shows that the decimal point is shifted that number of places to the right. A negative exponent shows that the decimal point is shifted that number of places to the left.

In scientific notation, the digit term indicates the number of significant figures in the number. The exponential term only places the decimal point. As an example,

46600000 = 4.66 x 107

This number only has 3 significant figures. The zeros are not significant; they are only holding a place. As another example,

0.00053 = 5.3 x 10-4

This number has 2 significant figures. The zeros are only place holders.

How to do calculations:

On your scientific calculator:

Make sure that the number in scientific notation is put into your calculator correctly.

Read the directions for your particular calculator. For inexpensive scientific calculators:

Punch the number (the digit number) into your calculator.

Push the EE or EXP button. Do NOT use the x (times) button!!

Enter the exponent number. Use the +/- button to change its sign.

Voila! Treat this number normally in all subsequent calculations.

To check yourself, multiply 6.0 x 105 times 4.0 x 103 on your calculator. Your answer should be 2.4 x 109.

On your cheap non-scientific calculator:

You will need to be familiar with exponents since your calculator cannot take care of them for you. For an introduction to rules concerning exponents, see the section on Manipulation of Exponents.

Addition and Subtraction:

All numbers are converted to the same power of 10, and the digit terms are added or subtracted.

Example: (4.215 x 10-2) + (3.2 x 10-4) = (4.215 x 10-2) + (0.032 x 10-2) = 4.247 x 10-2

Example: (8.97 x 104) - (2.62 x 103) = (8.97 x 104) - (0.262 x 104) = 8.71 x 104

Multiplication:

The digit terms are multiplied in the normal way and the exponents are added. The end result is changed so that there is only one nonzero digit to the left of the decimal.

Example: (3.4 x 106)(4.2 x 103) = (3.4)(4.2) x 10(6+3) = 14.28 x 109 = 1.4 x 1010

(to 2 significant figures)

Example: (6.73 x 10-5)(2.91 x 102) = (6.73)(2.91) x 10(-5+2) = 19.58 x 10-3 = 1.96 x 10-2

(to 3 significant figures)

Division:

The digit terms are divided in the normal way and the exponents are subtracted. The quotient is changed (if necessary) so that there is only one nonzero digit to the left of the decimal.

Example: (6.4 x 106)/(8.9 x 102) = (6.4)/(8.9) x 10(6-2) = 0.719 x 104 = 7.2 x 103

(to 2 significant figures)

Example: (3.2 x 103)/(5.7 x 10-2) = (3.2)/(5.7) x 103-(-2) = 0.561 x 105 = 5.6 x 104

(to 2 significant figures)

Powers of Exponentials:

The digit term is raised to the indicated power and the exponent is multiplied by the number that indicates the power.

Example: (2.4 x 104)3 = (2.4)3 x 10(4x3) = 13.824 x 1012 = 1.4 x 1013

(to 2 significant figures)

Example: (6.53 x 10-3)2 = (6.53)2 x 10(-3)x2 = 42.64 x 10-6 = 4.26 x 10-5

(to 3 significant figures)

Roots of Exponentials:

Change the exponent if necessary so that the number is divisible by the root. Remember that taking the square root is the same as raising the number to the one-half power.

Example:

Example:

Oops - the answer really is 4.2 x 10-3
