Describe how sand dunes form and how dunes migrate

The wind is just strong enough to move the sand grains which were sorted by size by the wind. Heavier grains were left in place where as smaller grains were carried away. These grains kept moving till they were concentrated in one place usually up a hill. The grains climb the flat slope on the windward side and then fall off the steep side. The dunes may migrate slowly as this process continues, the grains at the upwind side climb the dune with the help of the wind and then fall down the downwind side.<span>

4. What is an example of positive feedback?

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is known as lactation. The suckling action of an infant produces prolactin, which leads to milk production; more suckling leads to more prolactin, which in turn leads to more lactation. This is a positive feedback system as the product (milk) produces more suckling and more hormone. When the child is no longer breast feeding, the prolactin drops off and milk production goes down.

Both coal and diamonds are forms of elemental carbon. Coal is brittle while diamonds are considered to be the hardest Of all sub

Art [367]

arbon, as with many elements, can arrange its atoms into several different geometries, or "allotropes." In pure diamond, every carbon atom is covalently bonded to exactly 4 other carbon atoms in a very specific and energetically favorable geometry. The diamond cannot be broken or scratched unless many covalent bonds are broken, which is difficult to do. In another common allotrope, graphite, every carbon atom is covalently bonded to only 3 other carbon atoms, and the atoms are arranged in sheets that are not covalently bonded to each other. The sheets can be broken apart easily, ultimately meaning that graphite can be easily scratched. Coal is composed of particles of different allotropes of carbon, and some "amorphous carbon," which has no defined geometry in its atomic structure. Without a continuous network of covalent bonds, coal is easily scratched (i.e. it is not hard).

During an experiment, readings for blood pressure in a person’s body were found to be constant. However, when measured by a diff

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

This difference indicates that the results are precise but not accurate .

Explanation:

Precise results are those that are very close to the actual result, but do not achieve exactly the same result. In addition, this difference between the precise results is exactly the same. We have an example of this in the case shown in the figure above, where the blood pressure readings measured by the cuff differ by 15 points for each reading. This case also shows us that the results are not accurate, because this type of result is one that shows a result exactly the same as the real one.
