wind can transport particles of many different sizes. what sized particles are probably carried the farthest by the wind? Explain your answer

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: I think it would be silt which is smaller than sand, but if that's not an option then it's sand I'm guessing.
Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

The wind carries smaller particles like dust and sand grains further than larger ones. This is due to their reduced mass, requiring less force to be moved, and experiencing less air resistance due to their smaller size.

Explanation:

In the physics of wind erosion, wind can transport particles of varying sizes. The size of the particles that gets carried the furthest largely depends on the strength and duration of the wind. Generally, smaller particles such as dust and sand grains are carried farther by the wind than larger particles. This is because smaller particles have less mass and thus require less force to move. Furthermore, due to their reduced size, they experience less drag (resistance to motion due to friction with air), making them more efficient at traveling longer distances when aided by wind.

The soil of an ecosystem determines the kinds of organisms that are able to live there. Which of the following soil characteristics can have an effect on the ecosystem of an area? A. the composition of the soil B. the particle size of the soil C. the texture of the soil D. all of the above

Answers

The composition of the soil definitely determines what kind of organisms can live there - it determines the kinds of nutrients that those organisms can receive.

The texture of the soil determines how easy it is for plants to retrieve the nutrients from the soil - so the correct answer is D. all of the above

Answer:

The answer is D

Explanation:

All the stated things are not living, abiotic means non living.

Read the article titled "Demographic Transition Model." Identify and describe the four stages of demographic transition. (Site 2)

Answers

Answer:

The four stages of demographic transition are namely high equilibrium, early population growth, late population growth, and low equilibrium.

Explanation:

  • In the process of demographic transition, the first stage that appears is that of high equilibrium.
  • In this stage, the "birth rate and the death rate" are equal. After the first stage of high equilibrium, comes the next stage of early population growth.
  • In this stage, the population keeps growing due to the "decrease in the death rate". In the third stage of late population growth, the population growth rate stabilizes due to decreased birth rate.
  • In the final "stage of demographic transition", i.e. in the stage of low equilibrium, both the death rate and the birth rate reach their lowest.
Stage 1: High Equilibrium
High birth rate and high death rate

Stage 2: Early Population Increase
Decreasing death rate, constant birth rate

Stage 3: Late Population Increase
Death rate stabilizes at a lower amount, birth rate decreases

Stage 4: Low Equilibrium
Low birth rate and low death rate

the top of mount everest is at about 8,850 m. What would the approximate air temperature be at that altitude?

Answers

If we speak mathematically how the temperature decreases with the altitude than the temperature at Mount Everest should be -86.73 C degrees given that the temperature at zero altitude is 0 C degrees. This is a result of the estimated temperature decrease which comes to 9.8 C degrees drop on every 1,000 meters or 0.98 per every 100 meters eliviation. So 8,850 of altitude by 0.98 C degrees decrease on every 100 meters comes to -86.73 degrees, still keep in mind that this is only if the temperature at 0 altitude is 0 C degrees and that it is only a mathematical estimate under certain conditions, in practice it is much different.
At the summit, the temperature can be 100°F below zero. But on a good summit day, a climber can expect around -15°F 
hope this helped
