C) Radiation that comes from Earth...... Hope it helps, Have a nice day :)
Kinetic energy means movement. This means that the more something moves, the more kinetic energy it will have! And the faster something moves, the more heat it produces! Altogether, this means that the more Kinetic energy something has, the hotter it will be!
The opposite is also true. The less something moves, it will have less Kinetic energy and the colder it will get.
If you're having trouble understanding this, think of it like how the particles in water move compared to how the particles in ice move. The particles in water are free flowing and can move wherever they want. If they get colder, they won't move as much, and eventually they'll stop flowing around, forming a solid and staying colder than the water will get.

B. Acidic water dissolved the rock.
C. Animals burrowed into the rock.
D. Ice formed and broke up the rock.
Answer:
a) Batteries and fuel cells are examples of galvanic cell
b) Ag-cathode and Zn-anode
c) Cell notation: Zn(s)|Zn²⁺(aq) || Ag⁺(aq)|Ag(s)
Explanation:
a) A galvanic cell is an electrochemical cell in which chemical energy is converted to electrical energy. The chemical reaction which drives a galvanic cell is a redox reaction i.e. a reduction-oxidation process.
A typical galvanic cell is composed of two electrodes immersed in a suitable electrolyte and connected via a salt bridge. One of the electrodes serves as a cathode where reduction or gain of electrons takes place. The other half cell functions as an anode where oxidation or loss of electrons occurs. Batteries and fuel cells are examples of galvanic cells.
b) The nature of the electrode that will serve as an anode or cathode depends on the value of the standard reduction potential (E⁰) of that electrode. The electrode with a higher or more positive the value of E⁰ serves as the cathode and the other will function as an anode.
In the given case, the E⁰ values from the standard reduction potential table are:
E⁰(Zn/Zn2+) = -0.763 V
E°(Ag/Ag+)=+0.799 V
Therefore, Ag will be the cathode and Zn will be the anode
c) In the standard cell notation, the anode half cell is written on the left followed by the salt bridge '||' and finally the cathode half cell to the right.
Zn(s)|Zn²⁺(aq) || Ag⁺(aq)|Ag(s)
