Porosity increases:_________. a. when grains settle more closely together after deposition.b. with increasing crystallization be

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

The correct solution is Option d (when rocks develop joints or fractures ).

Explanation:

Porosity is observable from descriptive samples taken. The drawbacks of receivable dams are that this is impossible to make true reflection temperature measurements, specific side-wall concrete samples while being often valuable can also result in poor coverage as well as dependence on log-derived porosity seems to have become the standard.
As porosity rises, too much wind needs to pass further through most of the shelterbelt, which would be to say the less significant decrease in wind direction.

Some other available scenarios have no connexons with the particular circumstance. So this seems to be a reasonable option.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

An asteroid is in circular orbit around the Sun. Its distance from the Sun is 7.3 times the average distance of Earth from the Sun. The period of this asteroid is C : 20 Earth years .

Explanation:

Kepler's law

T² ∝ R³

T = orbital period of the planet

R = semi major axis of the orbit.

Now

( T₁ / T₂ )² = ( R₁ / R₂ )³

T₁ = Earth time period = 1 year

T₂ = Asteroid time period

R₁ = The distance between Earth and Sun

R₂ = The distance between Asteroid and Sun

From the question ,

R₂ = 7.3 R₁

applying on the above equation ,

( T₁ / T₂ )² = ( R₁ / R₂ )³

( 1 / T₂ )² = ( R₁ / 7.3 R₁ )³

( 1 / T₂ )² = ( 1 / 7.3 )³

T₂ = 19.7 year

Hence ,

approximately T₂ = 20 years.

The period of this asteroid is C : 20 Earth years .
