Factors that affect rate of erosion

Biology
1 answer:
Tcecarenko [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

farm management, rainfall, climate, soil type, soil cover, landscape, type of wave, crops, rock strength and position of coast.

Explanation:

Erosion can be defined as a geological process which typically involves the wearing out of earthen (soil) materials and the transportation of these materials by natural forces like water, wind, etc. Soil erosion is greatest when the soil is steep.

The steepness of a body such as river or stream refers to the downward slope or gradient of the body of water.

Generally, the steepness of a body affects the rate at which other materials would flow or move around. Thus, the steeper a river or stream, the greater would be its rate of erosion.

Other factors that affect the rate of erosion in an area include the following; farm management, rainfall, climate, soil type, soil cover, landscape, type of wave, crops, rock strength and position of coast.

assume that life on Mars requires cell potential to be 100mV, and the extracellular concentrations of the three major species ar
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

The cell potential on mars E = + 100 mV

By using Goldman's equation:

E_m = \dfrac{RT}{zF}In \Big (\dfrac{P_K[K^+]_{out}+P_{Na}[Na^+]_{out}+P_{Cl}[Cl^-]_{out} }{P_K[K^+]_{in}+P_{Na}[Na^+]_{in}+ P_{Cl}[Cl^-]_{in}}      \Big )

Let's take a look at the impermeable cell with respect to two species;

and the two species be Na⁺ and Cl⁻

E_m = \dfrac{RT}{zF} In \dfrac{[K^+]_{out}}{[K^+]_{in}}

where;

z = ionic charge on the species = + 1

F = faraday constant

∴

100 \times 10^{-3} = \Big (\dfrac{8.314 \times 298}{1\times 96485} \Big) \mathtt{In}  \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}   \Big)

100 \times 10^{-3} = 0.0257 \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}   \Big)

3.981= \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}   \Big)

exp ( 3.981) = \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}} \\ \\  53.57 = \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}

[K^+]_{in} = \dfrac{4}{53.57}

[K^+]_{in}  = 0.0476

For [Cl⁻]:

100 \times 10^{-3} = -0.0257 \  \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}}   \Big)

-3.981 =  \  \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}}   \Big)

0.01867 =  \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}}

[Cl^-]_{in} = \dfrac{120}{0.01867}

[Cl^-]_{in} =6427.4

For [Na⁺]:

100 \times 10^{-3} = 0.0257 \Big ( \dfrac{145}{[Na^+]_{in}}   \Big)

53.57= \Big ( \dfrac{145}{[Na^+]_{in}}   \Big)

[Na^+]_{in}= 2.70
