Solution: (i) Density (ii) thermal
Liquids at lower temperatures have greater density when compared to liquids at higher temperatures.This is because, at higher temperatures, molecules have greater kinetic energy and hence they are spaced farther apart, when compared to molecules at lower temperatures. Thus, the colder layers of liquids are heavier than the warmer layers, which causes then to move down due to gravity. For the same reason, the hotter layers move upwards through the liquid.
When a liquid is heated, the molecules closest to the heat source have greater energy, their density becomes less and they move upwards. The colder layers sink downwards. The layers of the liquid which were cold initially, get heated and they travel upwards. As the process repeats, convection currents are set up in the liquid.
These currents transfer the thermal energy derived from the source throughout the liquid. The process stops when the entire liquid is at the same temperature.
Thus, convection currents occur in liquids due to temperature and <u>density</u> differences. Convection currents transfer <u>thermal</u> energy throughout a fluid.
The ecological effects of acid rain are most clearly seen in aquatic environments, such as streams, lakes, and marshes where it can be harmful to fish and other wildlife. As it flows through the soil, acidic rain water can leach aluminum from soil clay particles and then flow into streams and lakes. The more acid that is introduced to the ecosystem, the more aluminum is released.
Some types of plants and animals are able to tolerate acidic waters and moderate amounts of aluminum. Others, however, are acid-sensitive and will be lost as the pH declines. Generally, the young of most species are more sensitive to environmental conditions than adults. At pH 5, most fish eggs cannot hatch. At lower pH levels, some adult fish die. Some acidic lakes have no fish. Even if a species of fish or animal can tolerate moderately acidic water, the animals or plants it eats might not. For example, frogs have a critical pH around 4, but the mayflies they eat are more sensitive and may not survive pH below 5.5.
Effects of Acid Rain on Plants and Trees:
Dead or dying trees are a common sight in areas effected by acid rain. Acid rain leaches aluminum from the soil. That aluminum may be harmful to plants as well as animals. Acid rain also removes minerals and nutrients from the soil that trees need to grow.
At high elevations, acidic fog and clouds might strip nutrients from trees’ foliage, leaving them with brown or dead leaves and needles. The trees are then less able to absorb sunlight, which makes them weak and less able to withstand freezing temperatures.
Hope I helped you :)
Hey there,
Your question states: <span>How long does it take for light from a star that is 8 light-years away to reach earth?
It take just about
(</span>
8 earth years) <span> for light from a star that is 8 light-years away to reach earth. That is how </span>
it would take.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
1. The field inside the shell is 0; TRUE
2. The field for r>R will be the same as a field for the point charge Q, at the origin: TRUE
3. only positive charges can be on the outside surface: FALSE (Negative can too!!!)
4. The field on the outside is perpendicular to the surface: TRUE
Explanation:
In the absence of air resistance , object fall with <u>same acceleration</u> .
