Question 20 of 34
Which situation shows a nonrenewable resource in use?
A. Solar energy reaches Earth's surface.
B. Sunflowers grow from sunflower seeds.
O c. Computer chips are made from silicon.
D. Lobsters are caught off the coast of Maine.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c. Computer chips are made from silicon.

Explanation:

Non-renewable resources are natural substances that cannot be easily replenished when used. Examples are natural gas, coal, oil, nuclear energy, etc. Silicon is made when Silica is heated with carbon after which the product is reacted with hydrocarbons to polymerize them. Since the hydrocarbons are made from oil and natural gas, the resulting product is non-renewable.

Chips made from silicon are not biodegradable because to reuse them, they must be sent to companies that have specialty in renewing them.

What is the purpose of hardening?
To eliminate all disease
To manage the population of endangered trees
To allow nursery plants to transition to the outdoors
To make sure that the trunk of the tree is as strong as possible before planting

Answers

Answer: To allow nursery plants to transition to the outdoors.

Explanation:

Hardening is a process in which the small seedling plants are exposed to the unprotected environment of the garden so that they develop some tolerance against those conditions. The small seedlings were earlier exposed to low water, sunlight, and wind conditions but for hardening they are kept at those areas of the garden where they experience harsh levels of these agents for a short duration and the duration is increased with routine so that plants can adapt the changes when they are planted outdoor or outside the care of garden. It is one of the gardening practices.

Which of the following irrigation methods is most likely to result in salinization of the soil, especially if the agricultural fields are located in a warm climate with consistent sunlight
A Spray irrigation
Furrow irrigation
Flood irrigation
Drip Irrigation

Answers

Answer: Furrow Irrigation (B)

Explanation:

Furrow irrigation

Salinization of the SoilThe accumulation of water-soluble salts in the soil is known as salinization. Excess salts inhibit crop growth by decreasing their ability to absorb water, making salinization a resource concern.Surface irrigation in which trenches or "furrows" are created between crop rows in a field is known as furrow irrigation. Furrow irrigation is done by laying down short parallel channels down the length of the field in the direction of the predominant slope.Furrow irrigation is most likely to result in salinization of the soil, especially if the agricultural fields are located in a warm climate with consistent sunlight

What goes in the blank ?

Answers

Answer:

Kilowatt-hour

Explanation:

Energy refers to the amount or quantity of power which is being consumed by an individual, group of people or organization over a specific period of time. As the consumers continue to use energy, they're being charged or made to pay a utility fee regularly for their amount of consumption, which is usually calculated hourly (kilowatts hour or kwh).

Hence, power utility companies use kilowatt-hour (KWh) per month, to determine how much energy is being used.
