Answer:

The streak test is done by scraping a specimen of the mineral across a piece of unglazed porcelain known as a " streak plate."

Explanation:

The "streak test" is a method used to determine the color of a mineral in powdered form. The color of a mineral's powder is often a very important property for identifying the mineral. The streak test is done by scraping a specimen of the mineral across a piece of unglazed porcelain known as a " streak plate."

When working with radioactive materials you must use radiation detection instruments. Which of the following instruments require

vampirchik [111]

Geiger-Muller tube is instruments requires you test three times the background of the work area.

Explanation:

These detectors are gas filled detectors and hence requires time for responding to the value. This time is taken because during this period it collects the electric charges and features of the electric circuit. It also gets stabilized during this period. This device has thumb rule i.e one must wait or hold for at the least 3 times the time constant before getting the precise and accurate reading. The time constant order is 10 seconds for the ionization chamber but for the Geiger counter it can vary from seconds to greater than 20 seconds

Ecosystem services include processes that increase the quality of the abiotic environment. Which of the following processes woul

slega [8]

Answer:

Option D, only II, III, and IV

Explanation:

Complete Question

Ecosystem services include processes that increase the quality of the abiotic environment. Which of the following processes would fall under this category?

I) Keystone predators have a marked effect on species diversity.

II) Green plants produce the oxygen we breathe.

III) The presence of land plants builds soil.

IV) The presence of diverse wetlands helps in flood control.

A) only II and IV

B) only I and III

C) only I, II, and IV

D) only II, III, and IV

Solution -

The services of ecosystem has been classified into four groups

a) Provisioning – Where essential abiotic and biotic substance are produces such as production of food and water, reproducing offspring etc.

b) Regulating – the ecosystems is controlled through environmental factors such as control of climate and disease

c) Supporting – Ecosystem support the activities that are essential for survival. Primarily includes all nutrient cycles, oxygen generation etc.

d) Cultural – Provide aesthetic view and recreational benefits

Option II co mes under supporting service of ecosystem

Option III co mes under Provisioning service of ecosystem

Option IV co mes under Regulating service of ecosystem

Hence, option D is correct

Cara is explaining to her sister how the solar system formed. Which description would she use to explain the solar nebula

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. a rotating cloud of dust and gas.

Explanation:

Nebulae are regions of the interstellar medium (clouds) made up of gases (mainly hydrogen and helium) and dust. In other words, nebulae are concentrations of gas in which we find hydrogen, helium and stardust in greater quantities. They are structures that are actually very important for the universe, this because inside it is the place where stars are born, which arise due to the condensation and aggregation of matter. The nebular theory states that the Solar System reached the form current from a solar nebula (a gas cloud), more than 4.5 billion years ago. The large cloud of molecular gas was affected by a certain phenomenon that would have taken place in the vicinity. Like the explosion of a supernova or the passage of a star that would produce a strong gravitational impact. The result of this event made the matter agglomerate in different places. The high concentration of matter caused the nebula to collapse. Becoming a protostar, (bodies whose characteristic is to be surrounded by clouds and contain preplanetary matter inside), that is, gaseous matter in the outermost part and solid inward. At the core of this structure, the temperature is so dominant that nuclear reactions take place to compensate for the gravitational force. This leads to a hydrostatic equilibrium and the formation of a fundamental star: the Sun. The rest of the mass flattened, forming a protoplanetary disk where the protoplanets were being formed, which would evolve to become the current planets, their satellites and the others bodies of the solar system.
