Answer:
Acid mine drainage is dissolved toxic materials wash from mines into nearby lakes and streams.
Explanation:
Acid mine drainage is the flow of acidic water with pH typically between 2 and 4, and high concentrations of other dissolved toxic materials from mines into nearby lakes and streams. It mainly occurs during metal sulfide mining, when the metal sulfide ore such as pyrite (FeS2) is exposed to water and oxygen from air to produce soluble iron and sulfuric acid.
Microorganisms, especially acidophile bacteria like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grow by pyrite oxidation, i.e., oxidizing the Fe²⁺ in pyrite to Fe³⁺, which again react with pyrite and water to produce sulfuric acid. Then the acidic water flows into nearby water sources and reduces the pH value of water in those sources. As a result, heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury, etc in other mineral ores also get dissolved into the water. The action of acidophile bacteria also increases the rate and degree of acid-mine drainage process.
The acid mine drainage causes water pollution and adversely affect the aquatic plants and animals. It also results in the contamination of drinking water, corrosion of infrastructures such as bridges, etc.
Answer:
8 N North.
Explanation:
Given that,
One force has a magnitude of 10 N directed north, and the other force has a magnitude of 2 N directed south.
We need to find the magnitude of net force acting on the object.
Let North is positive and South is negative.
Net force,
F = 10 N +(-2 N)
= 8 N
So, the magnitude of net force on the object is 8 N and it is in North direction (as it is positive). Hence, the correct option is (d) "8N north".
Nuclear fusion because atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. Option A is correct.
<h3>What is nuclear fusion?</h3>
The process by which two or more tiny nuclei unite to generate a bigger nucleus is known as a nuclear fusion reaction.
The more energy it takes to liberate an electron from a smaller atom. This is referred to as binding energy.
As a result, when two little nuclei fuse together, there is more binding energy than when two big nuclei fuse together.
For example, the fusion of two hydrogen atoms produces more energy than the fusion of one helium atom, and surplus energy is expelled into space upon binding.
Nuclear fusion because atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus.
Hence, option A is correct.
