What kind of material forms white sand beaches

Biology
1 answer:

Fish poop.

Tropical white beaches get their pearly white color from the excrement of fish far off of the coast which eat coral and other things that reside on the ocean floor. When they eat they swallow some sand into their mouths as well, and process it with the food they just ate. Their stomachs can't really digest the sand, tiny minute rocks essentially, and thus turn their color white. Or the rock forming the sand can be naturally pigmented a whitish tone as well.

Examine this image and choose the most accurate statement base on relative dating.
Vlada [557]

Hello!

One of the most basic examples of relative dating, specifically in this case, would be the law of superposition. This simply states that out of many layers of rock, the oldest would be at the bottom and the youngest on top, so therefore the age of the fossils inside the rock would also increase when going down the layers. Therefore, we see that layer a is the oldest, and layer g is the youngest.

This disproves the first answer choice - the fossils in layer g are the youngest, not the oldest. Now, when comparing Layer F and D, we see that the rock layer F is above layer D. This means that layer F is younger than layer D (and same for the fossils in those respective layers). The third choice is incorrect as layer A would be older than F as it is beneath layer F.

Therefore, this means your second choice, or the fossils in layer F are newer than the fossils in layer D, is correct.

Hope this helps!

Just before opening her parachute a skydiver of mass 50 kg reaches terminal velocity.calculate the force of air resistance
Bad White [126]

Terminal velocity is described as a velocity attained when an object which falls freely experiences 0 net force owing to gravitational force which is balanced by the resistance of the air. Hence, there is no acceleration thus, the velocity is constant. In order to attain terminal velocity by the skydiver, the weight of the skydiver must be equal to the resistance of the air hence we  have the equation below;

50 kg*9.8 m/s²= 490 Newton.

Summarily, the force or magnitude of the air resistance is 490 Newton

All of the systems that are aroused by the _____________ are relaxed by the ________________. autonomic nervous system; sympathe
Mariulka [41]
All of the systems that are aroused by the <span>sympathetic nervous system</span> are relaxed by the parasympathetic nervous system. 
<span>autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a part of the central nervous system that controls all parts that the human cannot have a control on (which are done automatically) like heart rate and breath
ANS is divided in two opposite systems: sympathetic and parasympathetic:
</span>Parasympathetic nervous system: caracterized by the tag "<span>rest and digest" it decreases the heart rate, blood pressure, and breath. It increases the gastrointestinal motricity, letting the organism resting (this happen after a meal).
</span>Sympathetic nervous system: caracterized by the tag "fight or flight" it increases the heart rate, blood pressure, and breath. It decreases the gastrointestinal motricity, letting the organism focus on its environment (this happen when we are in danger).
