How is primary selection different from secondary succession?

Chemistry
1 answer:
PIT_PIT [208]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Primary and secondary succession occur after both human and natural events that cause drastic change in the makeup of an area. Primary succession occurs in areas where there is no soil and secondary succession occurs in areas where there is soil.

In primary succession, newly exposed or newly formed rock is colonized by living things for the first time. In secondary succession, an area previously occupied by living things is disturbed—disrupted—then recolonized following the disturbance.

How does the concentration of a gas in solution change when the partial pressure of the gas above the solution increases?
irakobra [83]
Because the concentration of molecules in the gas phase increases with increasing pressure, the concentration of dissolved gas molecules in the solution at equilibrium is also higher at higher pressures

How does the flow of energy during freezing compare with the flow of energy during melting
lianna [129]

Answer:

At the melting point, some molecules overcome the forces of attraction. Energy gained after the the solid melts increases the average kinetic energy or the temperature. When liquid is freezing the energy flows out the the liquid. As the kinetic energy decreases, they move more slowly.

What processes in the water cycle takes water from oceans and land masses?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Water Cycle

  • Earth is a truly unique in its abundance of water. Water is necessary to sustaining life on Earth, and helps tie together the Earth's lands, oceans, and atmosphere into an integrated system. Precipitation, evaporation, freezing and melting and condensation are all part of the hydrological cycle - a never-ending global process of water circulation from clouds to land, to the ocean, and back to the clouds.
  • This cycling of water is intimately linked with energy exchanges among the atmosphere, ocean, and land that determine the Earth's climate and cause much of natural climate variability.
  • The impacts of climate change and variability on the quality of human life occur primarily through changes in the water cycle. As stated in the National Research Council's report on Research Pathways for the Next Decade (NRC, 1999): "Water is at the heart of both the causes and effects of climate change."

<h2>Importance of the ocean in the water cycle</h2>

  • The ocean plays a key role in this vital cycle of water.
  • The ocean holds 97% of the total water on the planet; 78% of global precipitation occurs over the ocean, and it is the source of 86% of global evaporation.
  • Besides affecting the amount of atmospheric water vapor and hence rainfall, evaporation from the sea surface is important in the movement of heat in the climate system.
  • Water evaporates from the surface of the ocean, mostly in warm, cloud-free subtropical seas.
  • This cools the surface of the ocean, and the large amount of heat absorbed the ocean partially buffers the greenhouse effect from increasing carbon dioxide and other gases.
  • Water vapor carried by the atmosphere condenses as clouds and falls as rain, mostly in the ITCZ, far from where it evaporated, Condensing water vapor releases latent heat and this drives much of the the atmospheric circulation in the tropics.
  • This latent heat release is an important part of the Earth’s heat balance, and it couples the planet’s energy and water cycles.

  • The major physical components of the global water cycle include the evaporation from the ocean and land surfaces, the transport of water vapor by the atmosphere, precipitation onto the ocean and land surfaces, the net atmospheric transport of water from land areas to ocean, and the return flow of fresh water from the land back into the ocean.
  • . The additional components of oceanic water transport are few, including the mixing of fresh water through the oceanic boundary layer, transport by ocean currents, and sea ice processes.
  • On land the situation is considerably more complex, and includes the deposition of rain and snow on land; water flow in runoff; infiltration of water into the soil and groundwater; storage of water in soil, lakes and streams, and groundwater; polar and glacial ice; and use of water in vegetation and human activities.
  • Illustration of the water cycle showing the ocean, land, mountains, and rivers returning to the ocean.
  • Processes labeled include: precipitation, condensation, evaporation, evaportranspiration (from tree into atmosphere), radiative exchange, surface runoff, ground water and stream flow, infiltration, percolation and soil.
