Why is diffraction used in soil profiles?

1 answer:

7 0

Answer:X-ray diffraction (XRD) is the technique most heavily relied on in soil mineralogical analysis. X-ray diffraction is a technique that provides detailed information about the atomic structure of crystalline substances. It is a powerful tool in the identification of minerals in rocks and soils.

Explanation:

XRD is used to identify the minerals composing clay-rich, hydrothermally altered rocks that occur on several Cascade volcanoes. Such rocks are believed to play an important role in the generation of large landslides and mudflows. XRD is used to analyze saline minerals, including borates.

For the first one 320

second

1200W

Data

R = 12 Ω ∆V = 120V I =? P =?

Solution:

According to Ohm’s law,

∆V = I R

I = ∆V / R

= 120 / 12

= 10 A

Power P = I ∆V

= 10 x 120

= 1200 W

Third

∆V = 120 V P = 60 W I =? R =?

Use the formula, P = I ∆V

I = P / ∆V = 60 / 120 = 0.5 A

∆V = I R

R = ∆V / I = 120 / 0.5 = 240 Ω

You are studying a population of flowering plants for several years. When you present your research findings you make the statem

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The graph for this problem must depict the following ""Increased allocation of resources to reproduction relative to growth diminished future fecundity."

Hence, the survivor ship must be on the Y axis and the resources on the X axis.

Here the resources include the number of seeds produced.

hence, the higher is the number of seeds (resource), the lower is the survivorship (future fecundity)

Hence, option A is correct
