PROS: It dissolves in water and lowers the freezing point of water so a lower temperature is required for ice to form. This makes the road less treacherous for vehicles. Road salt is usually cheap and readily available. Since salt is already a constituent of sea water, it does not cause pollution when washed away.
CONS: Salt dissolved in water is corrosive to metal. A metalled road surface may eventually be attacked by the corrosive, leading to damage of the surface. The salt solution is splashed on to the bodies and into the engine parts of vehicles and, unless properly protected, the metal parts of the vehicle will become corroded. Salt solution is a good conductor of electricity so it could under certain circumstances affect the electrical circuits within vehicles. When the salt solution dries out it leaves a deposit of white salt on the surface. The spreading of road salt is often carried out by specially equipped vehicles, so there is a cost incurred in salt spreading. Usually salt is mixed with grit.
Answer:
1. In ecology and Earth science, a biogeochemical cycle or substance turnover or cycling of substances is a pathway by which a chemical substance moves through biotic and abiotic compartments of Earth.
2. The sun, which drives the water cycle, heats water in the oceans. Some of it evaporates as vapor into the air. Rising vapor cools and condenses into clouds.
3. Heated by sunshine, the ground heats the air just above it. That warmed air starts to rise because, when warm, it is lighter and less dense than the air around it. As it rises, its pressure and temperature drop causing water vapor to condense. ... The air cools as it rises, and eventually clouds form.
Explanation:
Answer:
The correct answer would be coagulation.
Coagulation refers to the process by which blood clots and prevent bleeding.
During this process, the blood thickens and changes into the gel from a liquid.
It ultimately leads to hemostasis which is defined as the first stage of wound healing.
It involves different clotting proteins and factors. One such protein is fibrinogen, a soluble protein which is converted into insoluble form fibrin. Fibrin with the help of platelets forms a stable thrombus.
Goes through a cycle of chemical energy through digestion of organisms to the decomposition
