<u>Answer:</u>

Plastics are made of natural gas and oil.

They repel water.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Plastics usually man made i.e synthetic are basically long chain  of hydrocarbon chain of polymers  developed from petrochemicals. Since plastics are produced from polymers, polymers which are a chain of monomers are produced from crude oil, petroleum, natural gas or coal. Due to the absence of free  mobile  electrons , plastics are poor conductors of heat and electricity.

Since Plastics are made up of  sticky materials like crude oil which act as poisons and repel water to get attached with plastic debris and are often harmful for the petroleum based objects in sea.

Hypothesis: If the porosity of three soils are tested, then red clay soil will have the lowest porosity.
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, based on the given hypothesis, the question is asking to identify the variables (independent and dependent) of the experiment.

*Independent variable: DIFFERENT SOILS

*Dependent variable: Porosity

Explanation:

- Independent variable is the variable that is manipulated or changed by an experimenter in order to effect a response in another variable. In this question, three different soils were used, hence, the SOIL is the independent variable.

- Dependent variable is the variable that responds to changes made to the independent variable. It is the variable being measured in an experiment. In this case, the porosity is the variable being measured, hence, it is the dependent variable.

Why does your skin remain red after a bad sunburn? a) Blisters form, lifting the epidermal layer. b) Inflammation causes increas
Mandarinka [93]

Skin remains red after a bad sun burn because:

inflammation causes increased blood flow.

Explanation:

When our skin is exposed to sun rays , the epidermal layer starts getting damaged. The damage to the cell caused by  sun rays triggers the  melanin secretion. Increased secretion of melanin results in darkening of the exposed region .

However, the damage and inflammation to the skin increases blood flow to the skin, this causes reddening of the skin.
