Stratification helps the civil engineer to:
a- properly understand the nature of the ground and know what is underlying this ground, whether solid rocks or soil
b- develop an understanding of the permeability of the composite soil
c- develop an understanding of the mechanical properties of the ground such as its strength
d- ensure that the site is properly structured and suitable for the targeted project<span />
One of them is run by the government entirely and the other involves very little government interaction
Because the velocity of sediment settling (deposition) is positively related to grain size for waterborne sediments, fluvial deposits are more likely than glacial deposits to be well sorted.
Saprophyte is the organism that obtains it’s energy from dead or decaying matter
Answer:
b) Magma B
Explanation:
The magma that forms a basalt plateau or a shield volcano is a mafic (basaltic) magma. This magma is low in viscosity, making it very liquid, so when there's an eruption there's lava flows coming down the slopes like rivers, moving relatively fast. This type of magma has low content of silica, which is the reason why it is low in viscosity. The low viscosity also contributes to very small amount of gases in the magma, as the gases can escape from it very easily so they do not come in a situation to be trapped. The low amount of gases means that the volcanoes with this type of magma have calm eruptions, and explosive eruptions are either nonexistent, or extremely rare.
