Given the following choices, determine which best suits as a characteristic of a hurricane.
Answer Choices:
A. Hurricanes occur mostly inland
B. Hurricanes create widespread damage
C. Hurricanes can only last for a short amount of time
D. Hurricanes gain strength after passing overland
Best Answer: B. Hurricanes can create widespread damage.
Reason: A would not be correct since it is more of a variable, due to the fact that hurricanes usually begin near the coastlines, hurricanes are in fact capable of moving inland for atleast 100 miles before it dies down to a tropical storm or depression.
C is not correct since hurricanes can last up to a whole week which is approximately 168 hours.
D is not correct since it is another variable in which hurricanes can decrease in strength if it comes into contact with cool and dry air which is the opposite of warm and moist which it needs in order to occur.
Therefore, the best choice is B. Hurricanes can create widespread damage, hurricanes can unleash a staggering arsenal of mother nature's strength and the most damage a hurricane has caused can go up to 125 billion USD in damages.
Answer:
a. the Kinetic energy of particles is determined by their mass and their velocity.
Answer:
- <em><u>Mendeleev produced the first orderly arrangement of known elements.</u></em>
- <em><u>Mendeleev used patterns to predict undiscovered elements.</u></em>
Explanation:
- <u>Mendeleev produced the first orderly arrangement of known elements and used patterns to predict the undiscovered elements.</u>
Those two statments are true.
For the time being there were some 62 known elements. Before Medeleev some schemes to order part of the elements were proposed, but Medeleev showed the relationship between the atomic mass and the properties of the elements (supports second choice). This arrangement is known as the periodic table.
More importantly, Mendeleev predicted correctly the existance and properties of unknown elements, which is his major contribution: he left blanket spaces which where gradually filled when new elements where discovered (this supports the fourth choice).
The first modern chemistry book was written by Antoine Lavoisier (this discards first option).
Mendeleev ordered the elements by increasing mass number (this discards third choice), which was corrected later by the scientist Henry Moseley, who ordered the elements by increasing atomic number (number of protons).
Isotopes were not known by Mendeleev times, so this discards the last option.
