Answer: 1:There are five recognized types of surface mining, each with specific variations depending on the minerals being extracted. These include strip mining, open-pit mining, mountaintop removal, dredging and highwall mining.

2:Refilled/reshaped w/vegetation planted; filled w/water to become a lake; turned into landfill; left open as home for bats or sealed off if underground.

3:Physical characteristics that make a colored stone valuable are color, clarity to a lesser extent (emeralds will always have a number of inclusions), cut, unusual optical phenomena within the stone such as color zoning (the uneven distribution of coloring within a gem) and asteria (star effects).

4:Atoms where the electrons and protons are not equal are called ions. Ions are charged particles. They can be either positively charged ions or negatively charged ions.

5:Molecule is a substance with two or more atoms bonded together such as the oxygen humans breathe (O2). Elements are pure substances made up of all the same atoms such as gold (Au), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). Elements all have the same number of protons in their nuclei and can't be broken down.

6:A covalent bond involves electrons being shared between atoms. The most stable state for an atom occurs when its valence electron shell is full, so atoms form covalent bonds, sharing their valence electrons, so that they achieve a more stable state by filling their valence electron shell.

7:A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

8:How does the native elements mineral group differ from all of the other mineral groups? Native elements contain atoms of only one type of element. Only a small number of minerals are found in this category. Some of the minerals in this group are rare and valuable.

9:How does the native elements mineral group differ from all of the other mineral groups? Native elements contain atoms of only one type of element. Only a small number of minerals are found in this category. Some of the minerals in this group are rare and valuable.

10:Cleavage. The way in which a mineral breaks along smooth flat planes is called cleavage. These breaks occur along planes of weakness in the mineral's structure. However, if a mineral breaks along an irregular surface, it does not have cleavage.

11: I would use fluorite to test the hardness because apatite has a higher hardness then fluorite does mean that the unknow mineral is lower on the hardness test then both apatite and feldspar. 5. Why is streak more reliable than color when identifying a mineral?

12:magma for molten rock that is underground and lava for molten rock that breaks through the Earth's surface.

13:In geology, a vein is a distinct sheetlike body of crystallized minerals within a rock. Veins form when mineral constituents carried by an aqueous solution within the rock mass are deposited through precipitation. The hydraulic flow involved is usually due to hydrothermal circulation.

Explanation:

1. cell membranes are partialy permeable, only allowing passage to some certain molecules.

2. diffusion is the movement of molecules across partially permeable membrane down concentration gradient.

3. the molecules are too big to pass through partially permeable membrane. the concentration of the molecule might be higher in the cell than in the solution/surroundings.

1. The right answer is AC (alternative current) generators.

AC current (which can be abbreviated as AC) is a periodic electrical current that changes direction twice per period and carries alternating amounts of electricity in one direction and the other1. An alternating current therefore has a continuous component (average value) zero.


2. The right answer is Repel, and attract.

The nucleus of an atom is an assembly of protons and neutrons concentrated in a very small volume and subjected to two different forces: the nuclear force and the electric force.

The electric force only acts on charged particles, attracting those which are of opposite signs and repelling those of the same sign. This "long" distance force allows the negatively charged electrons to be retained around the positively charged nucleus.


3. The right answer is electric circuit

An electrical circuit in the material sense is a simple or complex set of electrical or electronic components, including simple conductors, traversed by an electric current.

In the sense of circuit theory, an electrical circuit is an abstraction of material configurations, an arrangement of elements defined by mathematical relations, connected by ideal conductors.


4. The right answer is Volts and current.

Volt (V) is the unit of measurement of the electrical voltage in a circuit between a point A and a point B, obtained with a device called a voltmeter. It is to Alessandro Volta, Italian physicist and inventor of the electric battery, that we owe this name.

The ampere (A) is the unit of measurement of the intensity of an electric current, that is to say the flow of electrons in a conductor. André-Marie Ampère, the inventor of the electromagnet, gave his name to this unit.


5. The right answer is north pole.

The magnetic North Pole of the Earth is a unique wandering point on the surface where the Earth's magnetic field is pointing down. That is, the "dip"  is 90 °. The needle of a compass points approximately towards this place (more or less approximately according to the place where one is, exactly the compass is tangent to the line of field).


6. The right answer is perpendicular.

In a cyclotron, the magnetic field is applied perpendicularly in an empty disk-shaped chamber, which contains two D-shaped semicircular electrodes. The rectilinear portions of these electrodes face each other. The flow of electrons or ions crossing a perpendicular magnetic field is subjected to a forceperpendicular to the direction of movement.


7. The right answer is current

A solenoid is a device consisting of an electric wire wound regularly in a spiral so as to form a long coil. Running through a current, the solenoid produces a magnetic field in its vicinity, and more particularly inside the helix where this field is almost uniform.

What happens to the vegetation around a body that has Just been buried?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

here's your answer

Explanation:

When buried six feet down, without a coffin, in ordinary soil, an unembalmed adult normally takes eight to twelve years to decompose to a skeleton. However if placed in a coffin the body can take many years longer, depending on type of wood used. For example a solid oak coffin will hughly slow down the process.
