What the difference between ‘Oil sands’ and ‘tar sands’?

Geography
1 answer:
Alex73 [517]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Hi there,

Tar Sands: Used more commonly than oil sands. It helps workers make manmade roads. This was introduced around the 1800s. Although it is quite similar to Oil Sands. The U.S uses this method to create roads instead of oil sands. They are mixed the same way as oil sands but these can produce gasoline.

Oil Sands: Seems more accurate than tar, they are mixed with water, clay, and sand. It forms bitumen which is created by the following items I mentioned which make the oil sands very dense because of what else they put in there (petroleum). It is very thick compared to tar sands. They are most important in the Candian economy.  

Hope this helped :)

porous, water-saturated layers of underground bedrock, sand, and gravel that can yield economically significant amounts of water
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Porous, water-saturated layers of underground bedrock, sand, and gravel that can yield economically significant amounts of water are referred to as aquifers

Aquifers are subterranean formations of bedrock, sand, and gravel saturated with water that can economically produce significant amounts of water.

<h3>What is Real Bedrock?</h3>

Bedrock is solid rock that lies beneath surface soil or gravel. Sand and other layers on the seabed are also supported by bedrock. Consolidated rock, or bedrock, is solid and strongly bonded rock. Loose-grained unconsolidated rock is often found as subsoil.

<h3>Is bedrock really rock?</h3>

The bedrock that balances the earth's crust is solid rock. While the entire state is covered by bedrock, Maine is mostly covered by a layer of surface sediment, soil, and vegetation.

How do the sun and moon work together to create a neap tide?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Neap tides, which also occur twice a month, happen when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. ... In both cases, the gravitational pull of the sun is "added" to the gravitational pull of the moon on Earth, causing the oceans to bulge a bit more than usual.

The horizontal distance between a crest to the next trough of an ocean wave is 5 meters.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

10 meters

Explanation:

A wave is a natural phenomenon that travels through a material medium but does not have a permanent effect on the particles of the medium. It can either be electromagnetic or mechanical. The propagation of a wave can be represented by a sinusoidal graph, which has crests and troughs.

A crest is the point of maximum displacement, while trough is a point of minimum displacement. The distance between two crests or troughs gives the wavelength of the wave.

From the question, the horizontal distance between a crest to the next trough is 5 meters which is half of the wavelength.

Thus wavelength = 5 × 2

                             = 10

The wavelength is 10 meters.

4. If the scale drawing is 1cm : 10km , then 60km in map would be​
Kruka [31]

{\huge{\textsf{\textbf{\color{Purple}{An}{\textsf{\textbf{\color{hotpink}{sw}{\textsf{\textbf{\color{blue}{er}{\textsf{\textbf{\color{green}{࿐}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

1 cm on the map represents 10 km on the ground = 10 × 15 = 150 km.So,Then the normal length of the scale should be 15 cm.(150 km is a round number.)Then,15 cm × 60 km = 9000m².Therefore,60 km in map would be 9000m².
