ROCKS AND MINERALS

Geography
1 answer:
vodomira [7]3 years ago
7 0

Geologists have recently determined that the minerals goethite and hematite exist in abundance on Mars, sure signs of the presence of water (see Figure 1 for a picture). None of those geologists have been to Mars, of course, but the unmanned rovers Spirit and Opportunity have. These rovers are equipped with three mass spectrometers, each of which is capable of determining the chemical composition of a solid with a high degree of accuracy. With such a precise chemical analysis in hand, geologists on Earth had no problem identifying the minerals.

A mineral is defined in part by a specific chemical composition. In theory, therefore, it is always easy to identify a mineral, if you can determine the chemical composition with a mass spectrometer like the Mars rovers. In reality, however, even if you are looking at rocks on Earth, determining the exact chemical composition of a substance involves significant time preparing the sample and sophisticated laboratory equipment (and often significant money). Luckily, it is usually unnecessary to go to such lengths, because there are much easier ways that require little more than a magnifying lens and a penknife.

How does agribusiness help people in the developing world? (2 points)
lubasha [3.4K]

The correct answer is - II and III.

The agribusiness has been helping a lot to the people in the developing countries around the world, mostly with better food supply and the support in the traditional agricultural practices.

The better food supply comes from the proper distribution of the food on the home markets, and it is also food that is produced in the country, not imported one, so everyone sees the benefit from it.

The support in the traditional agricultural practices is also very important, as the farmers are managing to get easy access to the things they need for farming, but also they have secured market for their products. The traditional agricultural practices are also supported as in those ways it is possible to produce organic food, for which there's an ever growing market.
