Describe the difference between a soil horizon and a soil profile

Physics
2 answers:
horsena [70]3 years ago

Answer:

The particles that accumulate on the rocks as time passes transform into the so-called integral soil profile. This profile is characterized by having different soil horizons, which are the different processes of soil formation, for example:

-the upper horizon is an area where organic matter accumulates, which provides enough carbon dioxide and some organic compounds.

-the next horizon is what is known as the leaching zone, where the different mineral materials dissolve due to the water that seeps into the soil.

-the next horizon is the so-called accumulation zone, where the chemicals that are dissolved in the filtered water are deposited and transformed into minerals

-the last horizon is the so-called transition zone, where the new material originates.

Soil profile includes all the sections/ horizons of the vertical soil depth from top to bottom including the transitions from one horizon to another. A soil horizon is a distinct layer/section of soil with more or less the same texture. Therefore, a soil profile is made of soil horizons.

Which of these steps would most likely be part of a lab procedure?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

These are a part of lab procedures:

1. Write a hypothesis to answer a question.

2. Write a title at the top of a completed lab report.

3. Record the time to complete a chemical reaction.

These are NOT a part of lab procedures:

1. Create a question on the cause of a chemical reaction.

The position of a certain airplane during takeoff is given by x=1/2 *bt2, where b = 2.0 m/s2 and t = 0 corresponds to the instan
Serhud [2]

Answer:

1362000 kgm/s

Explanation:

So the total mass combination of the plane and the people inside it is

M = 35000 + 160*65 = 45400 kg

After 15 seconds at an acceleration of 2 m/s2, the plane speed would be

V = 2*15 = 30 m/s

So the magnitude of the plane 15s after brakes are released is

MV = 45400 * 30 = 1362000 kgm/s

1. In Newton’s ring experiment, the diameter of the 5th ring is 0.30 cm and diameter of 15th the ring is 0.62 cm. Find the diame
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Diameter of Newton’s 5th ring = 0.30 cm

Diameter of Newton’s 15th ring = 0.62 cm

Diameter of Newton’s 25th ring = ?

From Newton’s rings experiment we infer that

D2n+m − D2n = 4λmR

For the 5th and 15th rings we have

D215 − D25 = 4λ * 10 * R _______ (1) (m = 10)

For 15th and 25th rings

D225 − D215 = 4λ * 10 * R _______ (2) (m = 10)

We equate the two derivatives

Equation (2) = Equation (1)

D225 − D215 = D215 − D25

D225 = 2D215 – D25

Substituting the values into the equation

D225 = 2 * 0.62 * 0.62 – 0.3 * 0.3 =0.6788 cm2

D25 = 0.8239 cm

Imagine Two Artificial Satellites Orbiting Earth At The Same Distance. One Satellite Has A Greater Mass Than The Other One? Whic
Bad White [126]

After reading this whole question, I feel like I've already
earned 5 points !

-- Two satellites at the same distance, different masses:

The forces of gravity between two objects are directly
proportional to the product of the objects' masses.  In
other words, the gravitational forces between the Earth
and an object on its surface are proportional to the mass of
the object.  In other words, people with more mass weigh more
on the Earth, and the Earth weighs more on them. 

If the satellites are both at the same distance from Earth,
then the Earth pulls on the one with more mass with greater
force, and also the one with more mass pulls on the Earth
with greater force.

-- Two satellites with the same mass, at different distances:

The forces of gravity between two objects are inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them. 
In other words, the gravitational forces between the Earth
and an object are inversely proportional to the square of
the distance between the object and the center of the Earth. 

If the satellites both have the same mass, then the Earth
pulls on the nearer one with greater force, and also the
nearer one pulls on the Earth with greater force.

-- Resistor in a circuit when the voltage changes:

The resistance depends on how the resistor was manufactured. 
Its resistance is marked on it, and doesn't change.  It remains
the same whether the voltage changes, the current changes,
the time of day changes, the cost of oil changes, etc.

If you increase the voltage in the circuit where that resistor is
installed, the current through the resistor increases.  If the current
remains constant, then you can be sure that somebody snuck over
to your circuit when you weren't looking, and they either installed
another resistor in series with the original one to make the total
resistance bigger, or else they snipped the original one out of the
circuit and quickly connected one with more resistance in its place.
