As a result of the hot spot volcanoes of Iceland and Hawaii producing a huge amount of basalt, the nearby beaches are made of <u>black sand.</u>

<u></u>

<h3>What is the effect of Basalt on sand?</h3>

Basalt is a black volcanic rock that is commonly found around volcanoes. It has this coloration and appearance as a result of a high concentration of augite and other dark minerals.

Areas with a high concentration of basalts, such as beaches in Iceland and Hawaii, will reflect this dark hue coloration by generating black sand when combined with basalt.

3. The greenhouse effect is driven by the fact that greenhouse gases are:
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: The greenhouse effect is driven by the fact that greenhouse gases are:___, would be: Good absorbers of radiation at all wavelengths.

Explanation:

Under normal circumstances, the Earth receives energy from the sun and also produces a bit of its own energy. The energy that arrives from the sun is usually known as shortwave radiation, while the energy that is both absorbed by the Earth´s atmosphere, and the energy produced by Earth itself, becomes part of what is known as the longwave radiation. Greenhouse gases, like water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane trap both longwave and shortwave radiation, which should usually be expelled to a certain extent towards space, and maintain them trapped inside the atmosphere. This bouncing effect between the shield created by the gases and the lower atmosphere, should normally be controlled by the amount of atoms of gases in the higher atmosphere. However, in the greenhouse effect, what is happening is that the amount of gases is too high, and therefore they are trapping most of the radiation, both longwave and shortwave, and keeping it in, allowing the climate to warm up.

Select the correct answer.<br> Which statement is true according to the kinetic theory?
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The true statement is that different gases with the same mass and temperature always have the same average kinetic energy. This is one of the postulates of the kinetic theory of matter.

If we two objects A and B, they will have mass mA and mB and velocity vA and vB  respectively. If K.E = 1/2mv^2 . Then it follows that

1/2mAvA = 1/2mBvB. Since the mass is the same it means the velocity of the two objects should be the same so that they have the same average kinetic energy.

A confined aquifer has a specific storage of 2.4 x 10-S ft and a thickness of 300 ft. How much water (in acre-ft) would it yield
Georgia [21]

Answer:

water it yield is 244290.45 ft

Explanation:

given data

specific storage SS = 2.4 × 10^{-5} ft

thickness b = 300 ft

water declined ΔH  = 4.8 ft

radius r = 1,500 ft

to find out

How much water  would it yield

solution

we know that

volume of water is

Vw = S × Area ×  ΔH    ..............1

here S = specific storage × thickness

S = 2.4 × 10^{-5} × 300

S = 7.2 ×  10^{-3}

and

area = πr² = π 1,500² = 7068589.471 ft²

so

volume of water is

Vw = 7.2 ×  10^{-3}  × 7068589.471 ×  4.8

Vw = 244290.45

so water it yield is 244290.45 ft
