Answer:
Gases are easily compressed. We can see evidence of this in Table 1 in Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids, where you will note that gases have the largest coefficients of volume expansion. The large coefficients mean that gases expand and contract very rapidly with temperature changes. In addition, you will note that most gases expand at the same rate, or have the same β. This raises the question as to why gases should all act in nearly the same way, when liquids and solids have widely varying expansion rates.
Explanation:
<span>First, water evaporates from the ocean to the atmosphere, then... put each step in the correct order.
</span>Second- atmospheric circulation advects the water.
Third- water condensates to form clouds.
Fourth- precipitation falls from clouds to the land.
Fifth- some water stored as snow or ice.
Sixth- water either ±ows along the surface in rivers and lakes or infiltrates the ground.
Seventh- water returns to the ocean.
Recall the definition of the cross product with respect to the unit vectors:
i × i = j × j = k × k = 0
i × j = k
j × k = i
k × i = j
and that the product is anticommutative, so that for any two vectors u and v, we have u × v = - (v × u). (This essentially takes care of part (b).)
Now, given a = 8i + j - 2k and b = 5i - 3j + k, we have
a × b = (8i + j - 2k) × (5i - 3j + k)
a × b = 40 (i × i) + 5 (j × i) - 10 (k × i)
… … … … - 24 (i × j) - 3 (j × j) + 6 (k × j)
… … … … + 8 (i × k) + (j × k) - 2 (k × k)
a × b = - 5 (i × j) - 10 (k × i) - 24 (i × j) - 6 (j × k) - 8 (k × i) + (j × k)
a × b = - 5k - 10j - 24k - 6i - 8j + i
a × b = -5i - 18j - 29k
Answer:
Saturated zone is area below the water table in which the soil is completely saturated with groundwater.
Explanation:
The saturated zone lies below the ground. It is mainly the lower zone of rock along with the water table where pore spaces are completely filled with water. Even the saturated zone is sometimes separated into 2 subzones: the phreatic zone and the capillary fringe.
The area where pores spaces are not saturated with water is also unsaturated zone. Localized saturated zones can occur within the unsaturated zone. The unsaturated zone lies above the groundwater table.
