Why are sedimentary rocks only found on or close to Earth's surface?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Erosion breaks existing rocks and turns them into sediments. The sediments can be formed into rocks by the chemical reactions of dissolved seashells ( Calcium Carbonate.) This reaction can form sediments into rocks very quickly like the formation of concrete ( same chemical reaction). Erosion only happens on the earth's surface.  

As erosion only happens on the earth's surface, sedimentary rocks are only formed on the earth's surface.

In other words:

Sedimentary rocks only found on or close to Earth's surface because sedimentary rocks are made of materials deposited in layers at the Earth's surface.

How are supernovae involved in new planet formation?


They consume all the nearby nuclear fuel and allow new planets to form.


They are the death of massive stars.


They provide matter and energy that fuel new planet formation.


They are not involved in new planet formation.

Answers

Answer:

Supernovae refer to the last stages in a star's life, when it explodes and disappears completely. ... Every planet we know of emerged from the dust and particles in the universe - so this means that the same dust coming from supernovae can form new planets as well.

7. Describe the difference between a command, a market, and a mixed economy. (3 points)

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMMAND ECONOMY

A command economy is an economy that is controlled by the government or the state. The government dictates what will be produced, how much of it will be produced, and the method by which it will be produced.

This is the type of economy found in socialist and communist countries, where the government has much more power to plan the economy to improve it for the citizens of the country. The means of production are collectively owned.

This economy can be found in countries such as China, Vietnam, Cuba, Venezuela, and Laos.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MARKET ECONOMY

A market economy is one that is controlled by the customers and businesses. As a consumer, you vote with your dollars. If nobody buys a product that a company makes, the company will stop making that product. The companies individually decide what they will produce, how they will produce it, and how much of that thing they will produce.

This is the type of economy usually found in countries with a smaller government, where the government has less control of the economy and it is controlled by the people, companies, entrepreneurs, etc.

This economy can be found in countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore, Canada, etc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MIXED ECONOMY

A mixed economy is a hybrid of command and market economies. What happens is that there are government has control over goods and services in the economy via things like higher taxes, welfare distribution, etc.

The government also can control companies to some degree with regulations. It isn't necessarily socialist or communist as the government doesn't have complete control, but it does have more control over the economy, and this tends to fall on a spectrum. Mixed economy can be an umbrella term for different combinations with companies and the government.

Examples of countries with mixed economies include France and the United States.

In 1980 there was growing concern that the protective ozone layer over the Antarctic might be decreasing and thereby allowing so much harmful ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth that polar marine life would be damaged. Some government officials dismissed these concerns, since statistics indicated that global atmospheric ozone levels remained constant. The relevance of the evidence cited by the government officials in support of their position would be most seriously undermined if it were true that

Answers

Answer:

Even where the amount of atmospheric ozone is normal, some ultraviolet light reaches the Earth's Surface.

The population of France is 63.7 million people. If the birth rate is greater
than the death rate, how will this affect the population

Answers

Answer:

The population will increase

Explanation:

In a given year if a country has more births than deaths, that means that there will be an increase in the total amount of people a country has. If this trend continues the population will grow in the future. If the birth rate is substantially higher than the death rate than the population will increase more rapidly, and more substantially. If the birth rate is only slightly greater than the death rate the population will still increase, albeit more slowly, and less substantially.

Answer:

Overpopulation can be an issue if it continues.

Lack of resources (food, houses, etc) can be a subject of concern because of the larger number of citizens.

Larger population and a Natural increases in population size will be noticed.  

Government might give out free contraception to its citizens to stop the increase.

Explanation:

Overpopulation will be possible because there are more babies being born that people dying. France's population can increase exponentially if this situation continues and doesn't reach a stop.

Natural increase in a population occurs when birth rate is greater than death rate. This can also lead to a Natural decrease, when death rate is greater than birth rate.

The increase can cause the government to hand out free contraception to people.

The lower death rate could have been the result of good health care in the country, which means the population is taken care of. So it isn't necessarily a negative thing.

The definition of spatial is: relating to or using space.

Geospatial data is time-based data that is related to a specific location on the Earth's surface. It can provide insights into relationships between variables and reveal patterns and trends.

A spatial pattern is an intuitive structure, placement, or arrangement of objects on Earth. It also includes the space in between those objects. Patterns may be recognized because of their arrangement; maybe in a line or by a grouping of points.

Spatial modeling is an analytical process managed with a geographical information system (GIS) in order to describe basic processes and properties for a given set of spatial features.

(Q015) The Coriolis effect Group of answer choices is a phenomenon created by the movement of ocean currents. is a deflection of wind or water flowing over the Earth's surface. causes the same direction of deflection in the northern and southern hemispheres. causes north-flowing currents in the northern hemisphere to curve to the west.

Answers

Answer:

causes north-flowing currents in the northern hemisphere to curve to the west.

Explanation:

Earth rotation can be defined as the amount of time taken by planet earth to complete its spinning movement on its axis. This ultimately implies that, the rotation of earth refers to the time taken by earth to rotate once on its axis. One spinning movement of the earth on its axis takes approximately 24 hours to complete with respect to the sun.

Basically, the effect of the Earth spinning on its axis on winds and currents is that, global winds will move along a curved path and therefore cause ocean currents to curve.

As a result of the Earth's rotation on its axis, a phenomenon known as Coriolis effect arises.

Coriolis effect occurs when circulating winds are deflected to the left in the southern hemisphere and to the right in the northern hemisphere.

Hence, rather than have this air circulating in a straight pattern, it is deflected to the left of the southern hemisphere and to the right of the northern hemisphere, typically in a curved path or pattern.

The following statements about Coriolis effect are true;

I. It is a phenomenon that's typically created by the movement of ocean currents.

II. It is a deflection of wind or water flowing over the surface of planet Earth.

III. In the northern and southern hemispheres of the Earth, it causes the same direction of deflection.

However, Coriolis effect doesn't cause north-flowing currents in the northern hemisphere to curve to the west.

what two structures are located at 34°00′12″S 151°06′48″E

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

When dealing with coordinates, it is very important to remember that 1 degree is about 60 miles. Also, latitude is North and South while longitude is West and East.

Latitude is based around the Equator, while longitude is based around the Prime Meridian. It is very good to know where these are on a map they are what the coordinates are based around.

It is also very beneficial to remember that the tropic of cancer (which is about at the latitude (North and South) of Mexico, Southern China, etc.) is at 23.5° N, while the tropic of Capricorn (South Africa, Central Australia, Northern Chile) is at 23.5° S.

The arctic and Antarctic circles are both at around 66.5° North and South respectively.

The International Date line (which goes through the center of the Pacific Ocean) is at 180° longitude.

So, since our first coordinate has an S, we know that it is going to be South of the Equator. It is further South than the Tropic of Capricorn since 34° is greater than 23.5°. These structures are going to be about 2040 miles South of the equator (60×34). This is also about halfway between 0 and 66.5 degrees, so it is about in the center of the Southern Hemisphere.

We also see that we are 151° E. This is closer to that International Date Line which goes through the center of the Pacific Ocean, which is a very large ocean. It is about 2000 miles away from it.

If you look at a map, you can see that the Tropic of Capricorn goes through Central Australia. We know that it is South of this tropic by about 660 miles, and it makes sense that it could still be in Australia because Australia is an enormous country. Australia is also very far East from the Prime Meridian in London, so this matches our 151° E coordinate.

This is probably in Southern Australia as it is 660 miles South the center. Most of Australia's population is in the Southern part of Australia, so it makes sense that there could be two structures here. The most notable Australian city is Sydney, so since we are being asked to find two structures just given the coordinates, they are most likely famous and Sydney is the most famous city in this area, this is most likely the location for our city.

What are very famous structures in Sydney? Well, the first one that comes to mind is the Sydney Opera House. Right next to it is the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which is the largest steel bridge in the world with arches. Since these are right next to each other and are two famous structures around these coordinates, these are most likely the two structures.

Imagine that an impact occurred on the continental plate millions and millions of years ago, leaving behind an impact crater near the right side of the base of the volcano. Why would there be little evidence of this impact crater found today

Answers

Answer:

erosion would erode the surrounding area making less obvious and filled in by hardened magma leaving volcano over millions of years i think. Would leave little impact of the crater. Also growth of plants over years in ash-rich, fertile soil

Explanation:

Volcanic craters may be connected with a cone or flanks. Flows may also be present. Impact craters can be distinguished from volcanic craters by having center peaks, ejecta, high rims, and floors that are lower in elevation than the surrounding topography.

What is a volcanic crater called?

A caldera is a depression formed when a volcano's magma chamber is emptied in an explosive eruption. Without any structural support below, the terrain surrounding the erupting volcanic vent or vents collapses internally, forming the bowl-shaped caldera.

When an asteroid or meteorite collides with the surface of a bigger solid object, such as a planet or moon, an impact crater is generated. This item must be moving extremely fast—many thousands of miles per hour—in order to generate a proper impact crater.

define fertility management​

Answers

Answer:

Soil fertility refers to the ability of soil to sustain agricultural plant growth, i.e. to provide plant habitat and result in sustained and consistent yields of high quality.

Soil fertility is the ability of soil to sustain plant growth and optimize crop yield. This can be enhanced through organic and inorganic fertilizers to the soil. Nuclear techniques provide data that enhances soil fertility and crop production while minimizing the environmental impact.
Advancing food security and environmental sustainability in farming systems requires an integrated soil fertility management approach that maximizes crop production while minimizing the mining of soil nutrient reserves and the degradation of the physical and chemical properties of soil that can lead to land degradation, including soil erosion. Such soil fertility management practices include the use of fertilizers, organic inputs, crop rotation with legumes and the use of improved germplasm, combined with the knowledge on how to adapt these practices to local conditions.

The Joint FAO/IAEA Division assists Member States in developing and adopting nuclear-based technologies for improving soil fertility practices, thereby supporting the intensification of crop production and the preservation of natural resources.
Different approaches to efficiently manage soil fertility
An integrated soil fertility management aims at maximizing the efficiency of the agronomic use of nutrients and improving crop productivity. This can be achieved through the use of grain legumes, which enhance soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation, and the application of chemical fertilizers.

Whether grown as pulses for grain, as green manure, as pastures or as the tree components of agro-forestry systems, a key value of leguminous crops lies in their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, which helps reduce the use of commercial nitrogen fertilizer and enhances soil fertility. Nitrogen-fixing legumes are the basis for sustainable farming systems that incorporate integrated nutrient management. Use of nitrogen-15 lends understanding of the dynamics and interactions between various pools in agricultural systems, including nitrogen fixation by legumes and utilization of soil and fertilizer nitrogen by crops, both in sole and mixed cropping systems.

Soil fertility can be further improved by incorporating cover crops that add organic matter to the soil, which leads to improved soil structure and promotes a healthy, fertile soil; by using green manure or growing legumes to fix nitrogen from the air through the process of biological nitrogen fixation; by micro-dose fertilizer applications, to replenish losses through plant uptake and other processes; and by minimizing losses through leaching below the crop rooting zone by improved water and nutrient application.
The contribution of nuclear and isotopic techniques
The isotopes of nitrogen-15 and phosphorous-32 are used to trace the movements of labelled nitrogen and phosphorous fertilizers in soils, crops and water, providing quantitative data on the efficiency of use, movement, residual effects and transformation of these fertilizers. Such information is valuable in the design of improved fertilizer application strategies. The nitrogen-15 isotopic technique is also used to quantify the amount of nitrogen fixed from the atmosphere through biological nitrogen fixation by leguminous crops.

The carbon-13 isotope signature helps quantify crop residue incorporation for soil stabilization and fertility enhancement. This technique can also assess the effects of conservation measures, such as crop residue incorporation on soil moisture and soil quality. This information allows the identification of the origin and relative contribution of different types of crops to soil organic matter.
