The water cycle (hydro-logic cycle), explains the constant motion of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. The mass of water on Earth stays equally constant over time, although the severe portion of the water goes into the major reservoirs of ice, fresh water, saline water and atmospheric water is variable depending on a wide range of climatic variables. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, and subsurface flow. In doing so, the water goes through different forms: liquid, solid (ice) and vapor.
1. New moon
This is because the moon comes between the Earth and sun and this is only possible during its new moon phase.
2. Full moon
This is because the Earth comes between the Moon and the sun and the effect is only visible when there is a full moon.
3. Corona
The corona is the outer layer and is the only one visible when there is an eclipse.
Answer:
Study hard , focus on your studies and alyways ask questions .
Answer:
D. Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air
Answer:
Statement 1 can be matched with option f (Van der waal forces)
Statement 2 can be matched with option b (Liquid crystal)
statement 3 can be matched with option e (Thermal expansion)
Statement 4 can be matched with option g (Viscosity)
Statement 5 can be matched with option b (Fractional distillation)
Statement 6 can be matched with option a (Diffusion)
Statement 7 can be matched with option d (Miscible)
Explanation:
- Van der waal forces are weak inter-molecular bonds found between covalent molecules e.g molecules of graphite, noble gases etc
- Liquid crystals are substances that behave like liquids and its molecules orientate itself like a crystal (solid). They can be referred to as LCs.
- Thermal expansion is a phenomenon where by matter changes in shape, volume and area due to a change in temperature.
- Viscosity is a term used to describe a fluid's resistance to flow. It is also used to describe the internal friction that a moving liquid experiences. Oil is more viscose than liquid water
- Fractional distillation is a separation technique used in separating two or more miscible liquids of close boiling points. For example petrol and diesel oil can be separated using fractional distillation. An industrial application of this technique is Fractional distillation of crude oil where crude oil is separated into its components
- Diffusion is the movement of dissolved particles, gases, liquid from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration until there is a equal balance. This can occur when you spray a perfume in one end of a room. You will get to smell the perfume at the other end after some time. Diffusion is fastest in gas as compared to liquids and solids.
- Miscible is a word used to describe liquids forming a homogeneous mixture when dissolved in each other. Miscibility is factor to be considered when separating mixture.
