Answer:

1) Take the hammer and smash the rock

2) Put acid on the rock

Explanation:

  • Physical weathering crush a rock's physical structure changing its appearance by friction or impact, therefore, to provide a demonstration of this principle I would take the hammer and smash the rock changing its appearance with the impacts    
  • In contrast, chemical weathering occurs when a chemical reaction of any kind alters a rock's chemical composition changing its appearance through erosion and degradation, therefore, to contrast this phenomenon with the physical weathering I would put acid on the rock to demonstrate the chemical degradation

N what ways does South Africa's history of Apartheid remind you of our own history of Segregation and Racism in the U.S.A.?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Apartheid was an official policy of racial segregation in South Africa from 1948 to 1994. Although racial segregation and discrimination arose earlier, after the 1948 general election, people were divided into classes by law: black, white, colored, and Asian. People of different skin colors who had lived together so far were separated, and two infrastructures were set up in the country, one for whites and the other for blacks.

This situation was clearly similar to that of the racial segregation that took place in the southern United States from the end of the Civil War until the 1960s, through which the Democratic governments of the southern states segregated African-American populations from their territories, relegating them to a citizenship of inferior conditions, with worse public services and a general lack of rights compared to those of whites.

16. If planet A and planet B are circling the sun and if planet Bis 10 times as far as planet A is to the sun. Then which, plane
slega [8]

Answer:

Planet B

Explanation:

Planet B will take more to time to complete its revolution because it is farther to the sun. The shorter planet completes its revolution faster due to its short orbit around the sun. This implies that planets that are close to the sun have shorter time to complete their revolution but those far away will take more than usual.

In another solar system, we discover two Jovian moons that have very different levels of volcanism. Propose three hypotheses tha
ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei discovered four of Jupiter's moons , in year 1610 . Now these are known as Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Io is innermost of these four moons and one of the most volcanically active planetary object still discovered. These moons are very much different from any other planetary body in every respect. The Voyager spacecraft pictures show that the surface of the moon io is completely covered by volcanoes and lavas rather being covered by pitts and craters. this gives the surface a very young look. The main cause of the intense volcanic activity found out here is the strong gravitational force created at the center of the moon from the Jupiter and Europa. Due to the synchronous rotation with Jupiter, solid materials at the surface of io bulges up just like the tidal motions of the oceanic water in the case of Earth. This repeated bulging causes the materials to get hitted up in a manner similar to repeatedly stretching and smashing a clay ball or rubber band. This enormous amount of heat generated in the process melts rock materials at depth and results in widespread volcanisms.

Hypotheses to explain different levels of volcanism:

a) This is very much evident that the volcanic activity is largely driven by the gravitational forces of the Jupiter. If the moons are at different distances from the large planet then the gravitational pull will be also varying for the moons and this will cause differential amount and types of volcanic activity at the moon's surface.

b) In case of io, the moon is largely made up of iron and iron sulphide core and a silicate outer surface. This silicate outer surface of the moon melts down to create the widespread volcanic activity. In case of Europa the outer surface is made up of vast quantity of water and ice. So there is lesser chance of volcanic activity in this moon. So the volcanic activity is greatly controlled by the lithological composition of the moon.

c) There is a vast amount of sulphur present at the interior of io which gets degassed and comes to the surface to create the fierce nature of the volcanisms. These gases are essential for a violent volcanism, and controls the nature and level of volcanism.
