Under what conditions is a rock more likely to deform plastically than to break?

1 answer:

5 0

At the Earth's surface, rocks usually break quite quickly, but deeper in the crust, where temperatures and pressures are higher, rocks are more likely to deform plastically. Sudden stress, such as a hit with a hammer, is more likely to make a rock break. Stress applied over time often leads to plastic deformation. Hope this helps. ヅ

Which curve shows the course of the reaction in the presence of an enzyme--the black curve or the red curve? Which line represen

nikklg [1K]

I found the attached image on the internet and it really helps complete this exercise.

First question:
In the presence of an enzyme, the course of the reaction is shown by the red curve. The necessary energy to make a reaction occur is less when there is an enzyme to help the reaction happen. Enzymes work as catalysts that act over substrates converting them into different molecules in a much accelerated way then it would happen without the enzyme's help, if it would happen at all.

Second question:
The activation energy is represented by line B. The activation energy is the energy needed to be available for a reaction to happen. If we compare it with line A, which represents the activation energy necessary for a reaction without an enzyme, we can see how much less energy is necessary to dispend when an enzyme is part of the reaction. Line C represents the energy resultant from the reaction.

10 examples of biting and 10 example of piercing and chewing pests and how they affect crops

VikaD [51]

Examples of biting and chewing pests are snails, slugs, caterpillar, Helicoverpa, diamond black moth, beetles , termites, leaf worms, grass hoppers etc.

Examples of piercing insects are lace bugs, aphids, white flies, glassy winged sharp shooter, false chinch bugs, Bargrada bug, mealy bug, Eugenia psyllid, Pittosporum psyllid, Tipu psyllid etc.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Pests that affect crops have different feeding habits. Some pests belong to the type biting and chewing pests. These pests bite into the plant parts and chew them. This will leave circular holes in the leaves and semicircular holes in the leaf edges.

Piercing and sucking insects pierce into the plant parts and suck the sap. Removal of sap turns the plants yellow, and wilted. The growth might get stunted and in severe cases the plant may die off.
