What seeps into an aquifer when to much water is removed?
When too much groundwater is removed the ground subsides because the loss of water causes loose sediments underground to compact.
Why is flood plain more suited to human habituation compared to mountains?
Flood plains are usually level and fertile due to the nutrient rich sediment that occasionally covers the ground. As to habitation, the risk of flood damage to property (and possibly loss of life) must be considered before building on a flood plain.
What causes soil liquefaction?
Liquefaction is the name given to the process that converts a solid soil mass into a liquid. Liquefaction occurs in cohesionless soils (typically those with a higher content of larger grains such as sand sized clasts) which have water in the pore spaces, and are poorly drained. When the seismic waves from the earthquake pass through the soil, the vibrations cause the individual grains in the soil to move around and re-adjust their positions. This ultimately results in a decrease in volume of the soil mass as the grains pack more tightly together (a reduction in porosity). The pore water which was originally in those spaces becomes compressed. Water is relatively incompressible and as such it pushes back against the soil grains (more correctly this is described as an increase in pore water pressure). The pore pressure becomes so high, that the soil grains become almost buoyant causing a significant drop in the shear strength of the soil to a very low value. When this occurs the soil loses it's ability to support loads (technically described as a loss of bearing capacity) which can cause subsidence of building foundations.
How does liquefaction cause damage during an earthquake?

Water is relatively incompressible and as such it pushes back against the soil grains (more correctly this is described as an increase in pore water pressure). The pore pressure becomes so high, that the soil grains become almost buoyant causing a significant drop in the shear strength of the soil to a very low value and causing it to behave as a viscous liquid rather than a solid. When this occurs the soil loses it's ability to support loads (technically described as a loss of bearing capacity) which can cause subsidence of building foundations leading to structural damage.
Is oxidation the loss of oxygen?
No, oxidation is the loss of electrons.
Loss of edges on sediment grains?
Grain Roundness
Match the following terms to their best definition. A. Sediment sorting Stratification of sediments and rocks B. Layering Range of particle sizes C. Texture Grain size D. Grain Roundness Loss of edges?
Sediment sorting-Range of particle sizes layering- stratification of sediments and rocks texture- grain size grain Roundness- loss of edges on sediment grains (just took the Quiz of apex!)
Can transportation be another word for erosion?
No, erosion loss of sediment , transportation is the process by which that sediment is removed.
Why do most mudflows occur in dry mountainous regions after a heavy rainfall?
Adding too much water to sediment increases the pressure between grains and causes a loss of cohesion, which can cause the sediment to behave as a fluid. Mountainous regions often have steep slopes that can fail and produce mudflows. Arid regions generally have little vegetation to reduce runoff and hold sediment in place.
What steps need to be taken for storage of grains to avoid wastage and loss?
we should keep the grain in a proper way and store grains on the save place
Is an open lesion of the skin or mucous membrane resulting in tissue loss around the edges?
ulcer
How does wound heal if there is an excessive tissue loss?
Healing by first intention occurs in a clean wound with minimal difference between the edges. Healing by second intention occurs when there is a large defect between edges of the wound and when there is excessive tissue loss. Healing takes much longer. Scarring is expected in this case because of extensive loss of parenchyma.
What kind of process can change sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?
Sedimentary rock can be changed to metamorphic rock by either heat or pressure, or a combination of both. These processes can occur for various reasons including, faulting and folding, divergent and convergent tectonic plates, exposure to magma or lava, burial of sedimentary deposits, etc... Basically the same forces that create earthquakes and volcanoes are responsible for creating metamorphic rock.
Why electrical instrument are avoided of sharp edges and cornera?
because the loss of positively charged particles is more in those parts
What seeps into an aquifer when to much water is removed?
When too much groundwater is removed the ground subsides because the loss of water causes loose sediments underground to compact.
Can you suggest a good high firer diet for weight loss?
Fiber is found in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. It is recommended you add your fiber content slowly to avoid gas problems. Switch to whole grains and eat several servings of fruits and vegetables. Eat fruit for snacks. Eat lower calorie fruits and vegetables and smaller servings for weight loss.
What kinds of food are on most weight loss programs?
Most successful weight loss programs focus on whole grains, vegetables and lean proteins. Try a dinner of broccoli, quinoa and black beans for a healthy, filling meal.
