Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Gemstones are those pieces of minerals that are being cut and are in their polished form. They are economically valuable and the factors that control the value of these gemstones are color, cutting in perfect shapes, luster, durability, and rarity.

Whereas, regular minerals are those that occur naturally and are inorganic in nature. They are comprised of one or multiple elements. They are commonly found on earth.

From the given question, the best option to differentiate between regular minerals and gemstones is that gemstones are very rare and are economically very valuable, in comparison to the common regular minerals.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

And the answer is... C. A gem is typically much harder to find than a regular mineral because the are many more known sites of regular minerals being mined than there are of gems.

Match each method of erosion with the correct definition
Katena32 [7]
In this item, we are asked to determine the correct definition for the terms. It is unfortunate that they meanings to which we could match them are not given. With that, the answers written here are the well-researched ones.

Solution --> This type of erosion happens when the components found in the rocks (i.e. limestone) are dissolved through the acid components of acid rain.

Abrasion --> This is a process by which the rocks that are eroded to the riverbanks wear down other components of the bed.

Saltation --> This process involves the movement of the particles through a series of bounces that are short and are along the surface of the ground. This results to dislodging the other particles.

A football quarterback runs 15.0 m straight down the playing field in 2.30 s. He is then hit and pushed 3.00 m straight backward
Monica [59]

Answer:

6.52 m/s

1.72 m/s

5.38 m/s

Explanation:

this question requires us to find the average velocity.

1. velocity in straight down direction:

velocity = distance/time

= 15.0/2.30

= 6.52 m/s

2. velocity in straight backward direction:

velocity = distance/time

= 3.00 /1.74

= 1.72m/s

3. velocity in straight forward direction

velocity = distance/time

= 28.0/5.20

= 5.38 m/s

these are the his velocities for each if the intervals.

thank you!
