Answer:

Porosity is a characteristic of rocks that affects the rate of weathering.

Explanation:

The rocks of all types are weathering under the influence of natural factors/elements. The water, temperature, climate, humidity, precipitation, winds, ice, all have their say when it comes to weathering and each of them is dominant in some areas. It is not just them that affect the rate of erosion though, but also the type of rock and its characteristics.

One characteristic of the rocks that is very important for the rate of erosion is the porosity. The porosity is a characteristic that shows us how easy or hard the rocks let water or other liquids through them. If the coefficient is high, then the rate of erosion will be very high, but if the coefficient is low, then the rate of erosion will be also very low.

There are nearly 300 million passenger cars in the U.S. The average gas mileage is 25 MPG (miles per gallon) and each car is dri

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

1.0236 billion metric tons

Explanation:

Given Parameters

Number of cars = 300000000

Average gas mileage per car = 25 MPG

Average distance covered by a car in one year = 10000 miles

CO2 Emission = 8.53 kg/gallon

Derivations from the given parameters,

If the average gas mileage per car is 25 MPG, then the volume of fuel consumed by a car in a year is:

10000 miles ÷ 25 MPG = 400 gallons

The CO2 emission for one car in a year is:

400 gallons × 8.53 kg/gallon = 3412 kg or 3.412 metric tons (note: 1000 kg = 1 metric ton)

The CO2 emission for 300000000 cars in year is:

3.412 metric tons × 300000000 = 1023600000 kg = 1.0236 billion metric tons
