HACTEHA [7]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

The principle of uniformitarianism was proposed by James Hutton, a Scottish geologist to explain geologic processes and how they relate in space.

According to the principle "the present is the key to the past and geologic process occurring today have occurred in times past. ".

  • Saddled with this knowledge, geologists can understand and unravel how rocks form and how the earth has been sculpted.
  • Today, in some places on earth, we see volcanic activities.
  • Such a place is on the Hawaiian Islands where hot plumes are coming to the surface.
  • In like manner, the lava cools and solidifies to form new volcanic basalt.  
  • Using this knowledge, any geologist can unravel any igneous rock.
  • From the activities in Hawaii, we know that past igneous rocks must have been formed by the cooling and solidification of magma.
  • This the tenet of the uniformitarian principle.

O prevent tank rupture during deep-space travel, an engineering team is studying the effect of temperature on gases confined to
Ira Lisetskai [31]

To calculate for the pressure of the system, we need an equation that would  relate the number of moles (n), pressure (P), and temperature (T) with volume (V). There are a number of equations that would relate these values however most are very complex equations. For simplification, we assume the gas is an ideal gas. So, we use PV = nRT.<span>

PV = nRT  where R is the universal gas constant
P = nRT / V</span>

<span>P = 3.40 mol ( 0.08205 L-atm / mol-K ) (251 + 273.15 K) / 1.75 L </span>

<span>P = 83.56 atm</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Therefore, the pressure of the gas at the given conditions of volume and temperature would be 83.56.</span>

Which disadvantage of nuclear power use poses the greatest threat to the environment?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The correct answer is The storage and management of radioactive wastes

Explanation:

In general, nuclear reactions (changes in the nucleus of an atom such as fission) release a lot of energy including a lot of heat. Moreover, this heat is used by humans to obtain electricity and other types of energy, which is known as a nuclear power. This type of power is considered positive because it does not emit carbon and it is quite efficient.

However, in most cases, it is a threat to the environment and living beings because storing and managing the wastes of this type of power is difficult and expensive. Indeed, dealing with the wastes of nuclear power requires complex infrastructure, and any accident or leaking leads to serious consequences from the death of those exposed to the wastes to permanent loss of diversity or changes in nearby areas.
