The question is incomplete, options are given below:

A. A tropical area with moderate rainfall

B. A temperate forest

C. A steep slope

D. A river delta

Answer:

C. A steep slope

Explanation:

Erosion is a weathering process that causes removal of the top layer of sediments from any geological material (rock, plain area, etc) and then transports that material to another place. This process is governed by the combined action of wind, water (precipitation), gravity, and other meteorological parameters.

For this question, four options are given among which rate of erosion would be faster than the rate of soil formation for a steep slope. For a steep slope, the movement of water and wind would be stronger along with high gravitational pull as compared to the tropical area, river delta, and temperate forest. In principle, in the temperate forest, the erosion would be lowest due to the presence of plant roots that support the soil material to stay aggregated and resist against weathering.

3-reflection

4-diffraction

Explanation:

Refraction is the bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different.Refraction is responsible for image formation by lenses and the eye.

Transmission of light is the moving of electromagnetic waves through a material. This transmission can be reduced, or stopped, when light is reflected off the surface or absorbed by the molecules in the material.

Reflection is when light bounces off an object.Light is reflected when there is a mismatch between materials through which the light is travelling.

Diffraction is the slight bending of light. The amount of bending depends on the relative size of the wavelength of light to the size of the opening.

What are the characteristic of solute plssss po

valentina_108 [34]

Solute is the substance that dissolves

Solute is a minor component
Solvent is a major component
Solutions is a mixture where the solute is uniformly distributed in the solvent.
Solution is homogeneous mixture that contains particles the size of a typical ion or small molecule.
The mass of the solute dissolved per unit volume of solvent is called Concentration
Solubility is The concentration of a saturated solution
Solutes lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point of a solvent.
Saturated Solution is a solution in which no more solid can be dissolved
Unsaturated Solution is solution in which more solid can be dissolved
Precipitate is a solid that crystallizes out of a saturated solution as it is cooled.
