Why is it important that the sample spots are not below the solvent level when the filter paper is first placed in the developing chamber?

By placing the spot above the level of the solvent in the beaker, you slow the flow of solvent which results in improved separation of the components in the spot. If you placed it below the level of the solvent in the beaker, the solvent would just flow at a much faster rate and instead of separating the components in the spot, they would simply be washed away.

What problem will ensue if the level of the developing liquid is higher than the applied spot in a TLC analysis?

The effect on chromatographic work if the solvent level in the developing chamber is higher than the spotted sample is a thin layer chromatography. The solvent becomes polar enough and spot will move some distance.


How do rivers change the earth surface?

Rivers erode material from one location, and then deposit that material in another location. Rivers are like conveyor belts in that sense, and its always on! Rivers begin life as mountain streams usually. As the water comes down from height and passes through different rock and minerals, it erodes these materials at different rates according to how hard and resistant the materials are. The eroded particles are absorbed in the river (suspended) and washed away down stream where they will be deposited according to the geology of the area it happens in. This will then form features of deposition. This is the life cycle of the river and you can tell the age of rivers by knowing about these process of erosion and deposition as you follow its course down to the sea which is where most rivers end, or they flow into another river.
