Which of the following accurately describes rill erosion?

Chemistry
1 answer:

Answer:

C. Runoff from heavy rainfall forms narrow, shallow channels.

Explanation:

Erosion is the gradual washing away of the top layer of the soil or earth on which plant grows. There are three main types of erosion which are:

1. Sheet erosion

2. Gully erosion

3. Rill erosion

Rill erosion occurs when a soil layer is gradually being washed away by narrow stream channels called streamlets on the surface. After a heavy downpour, the streamlets facilitates the movement of water on the ground surface and in turn, earth materials are worn away.

When these streamlets becomes deeper, they form gullies. Gullies results into gully erosion.

When runoff removes soil and loose sediment in thin layers it is called sheet erosion.

What occurs along a convergent plate boundary ?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Two plates pull towards each other

Explanation:

Along a convergent plate boundary, two plates moves towards each other as the move in the same direction.

This results in different forms of plate interactions depending on the plate types.

  • At an ocean - ocean and continental - ocean convergent front, subduction of the oceanic plate occurs. This is because the oceanic plate below is denser than the asthenosphere.
  • At a continental - continental convergent front, the continental crust is pulls upward and build up as a mountain.
  • The subduction produces trenches and some volcanic islands.

What is the wavelength of infrared radiation with a frequency of 3.85 x 10^12 Hz?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Wavelenght is 7,79x10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

The equation that connects wavelentgh (λ) and frequency (ν) is:

λ=c/ν

Where c is speed of light (3x10⁸ m/sec) and λ is expressed in lenght´s units and ν is expressed in "time⁻¹ " units (for example, sec⁻¹)

According to the details, if we just replace the given value of frequency, we just obtaing wavelenght data:

λ= (3x10⁸ m/sec)/(3,85x10¹² sec⁻¹) = 7,79x10⁻⁵ m
