B. How does weathering affect Earth's surface?

Biology
1 answer:
Harman [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Weathering and erosion constantly change the rocky landscape of Earth. Weathering wears away exposed surfaces over time. The length of exposure often contributes to how vulnerable a rock is to weathering. Rocks, such as lavas, that are quickly buried beneath other rocks are less vulnerable to weathering and erosion than rocks that are exposed to agents such as wind and water.

Explanation:

Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and mineral away. No rock on Earth is hard enough to resist the forces of weathering and erosion. Together, these processes carved landmarks such as the Grand Canyon, in the U.S. state of Arizona. This massive canyon is 446 kilometers (277 miles) long, as much as 29 kilometers (18 miles) wide, and 1,600 meters (1 mile) deep.

Why can’t both strands of DNA be replicated at the same time?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

In both cases, replication occurs so quickly because multiple polymerases can synthesize two new strands at the same time by using each unwound strand from the original DNA double helix as a template.

A typical raindrop is much more massive than a mosquito and falling much faster than a mosquito flies. how does a mos quito surv
Svetradugi [14.3K]
Below are the questions:

A) A hovering mosquito is hit by a raindrop that is 45 times as massive and falling at 8.9m/s , a typical raindrop speed. How fast is the raindrop, with the attached mosquito, falling immediately afterward if the collision is perfectly inelastic? 

<span>B) Because a raindrop is "soft" and deformable, the collision duration is a relatively long 8.0 ms. What is the mosquito's average acceleration, in g's, during the collision? The peak acceleration is roughly twice the value you found, but the mosquito's rigid exoskeleton allows it to survive accelerations of this magnitude. In contrast, humans cannot survive an acceleration of more than about 10 g.

Below are the answers:

a. <span>MU = (M + m)V; where M = 45 m, U = 8.9 m/s, find V = ?. V = (45/46)*8.9 = 8.7 m/s 
</span>
b. <span>F = m dV/dT = m 8.7/8E-3 = m 1.0875E+03; so G = 1.0875E+03/9.8 = 111 G's.</span>

Logistic growth curves are density-dependent.
vlabodo [156]
I’m not really sure what the question is but :

Logistic growth results in curving which can get increasing deep/steep which eventually levels off when the capacity is reached which can deduct in an S shape.
In logistic growth the population expansion decreased as resources become scarce. However when the rescourss are unlimitednthe popultions exhibit a thing known as exponential growth which results in an J shape






In logistic growth, op
