Why does acid rain adamage mountain lebrty

Biology

Marysya12 [62]3 years ago

Answer:

When sulfurous, sulfuric, and nitric acids in polluted air and rain react with the calcite in marble and limestone, the calcite dissolves. In exposed areas of buildings and statues, we see roughened surfaces, removal of material, and loss of carved details. Stone surface material may be lost all over or only in spots that are more reactive.

Explanation:

You might expect that sheltered areas of stone buildings and monuments would not be affected by acid precipitation. However, sheltered areas on limestone and marble buildings and monuments show blackened crusts that have peeled off in some places, revealing crumbling stone beneath. This black crust is primarily composed of gypsum, a mineral that forms from the reaction between calcite, water, and sulfuric acid. Gypsum is soluble in water; although it can form anywhere on carbonate stone surfaces that are exposed to sulfur dioxide gas (SO2), it is usually washed away. It remains only on protected surfaces that are not directly washed by the rain.

Answer:

Explanation:

The soil is thin and lacks the ability to adequately neutralize the acid in the rain water. As a result, the area is particularly vulnerable and the acid and aluminum can accumulate in the soil, streams, or lakes.

Blood in urine can be a sign of kidney damage. Why is blood not usually found in the urine of a healthy person?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Blood is not present in the urine of healthy person since the blood cells, platlets and plasma proteins are large enough to prevent their glomerular filtration. These components of blood are not present in the glomerular filtrate and hence, are absent in urine as well.

Explanation:

The first step in urine formation is glomerular filtration which filters the nitrogenous wastes and other compounds and forms glomerular filtrate. Glomerular filtrate undergoes tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion to form urine.  

The components of blood such as blood cells, platelets, proteins of plasma are not added to the glomerular filtrate. They exit the glomerulus of nephrons via efferent arteriole. Since blood components are not filtered to become part of glomerular filtrate, blood is absent in the urine of a healthy person.

The bones that form the prominences of the cheeks as well as part of the lateral wall and floor of each orbit are the?
jasenka [17]

The bones that form the prominences of the cheeks as well as part of the lateral wall and floor of each orbit are the Zygomatic bones.

The zygomatic bone is proportionately small but structurally important. It is almost quadrangular in shape and it is characterized by three surfaces, five borders and two processes.

It conveys the pressure exerted on the zygomatic region towards three otherwise unconnected bones i.e. the maxilla, the frontal as well as the temporal bone.

The zygomatic bones also possess the system of canals for the branches of the zygomatic nerve. The zygomatic bone extends backward to join the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, making the zygomatic arch.

Question 6 of 10
hjlf

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) Cities can be built in otherwise uninhabitable places.</em>

Explanation:

The advances in technology for transporting water has now allowed us to inhabit lands in which previously life was not possible because of the lack of water. Nowadays, perfectly clean and sterilized water is available to any house hold at any place due to the effective technologies of transporting water. Cities can be built in places which were uninhabitable previously due to the lack of water resources.

Amanda gets protein at lunch by eating a chicken sandwich. How can Amanda’s body use the protein in the chicken to build protein
Ahat [919]

Answer:

- The proteins in the chicken are broken down into amino acids, and the DNA in Amanda's cells uses those amino acids to build human proteins.

Explanation:

The body uses the protein taken by Amanda in the form of a chicken sandwich by breaking it down into the form of compounds called 'amino acids.' Amino acids are described as the substances that are responsible for the formation of proteins in the body. Thus, the DNA present in Amanda's body cells will use these amino acids to form human proteins. The longer chains of these amino acids help the body to ensure its proper structuring and functioning.

3 facts and reason of how the tilt of the earth cause season
lesantik [10]

Summer happens in the hemisphere tilted towards the Sun, and winter happens in the hemisphere tilted away from the Sun. ... The poles remain cool because they are never tilted in a direct path of sunlight.
