What is the difference between a mudflow and an earth-flow?
Mudflow is downslope movement of water that contains large amount of suspended clay and silt.
A mineral that contains a large amount of one or more metal compounds is called?
Minerals from which metals and nonmetals can be removed in usable amounts are called ores.
Why douse black soil crack?
Not all black soils crack. The ones that are known to crack are classified as Vertisols by US Soil Taxonomy. They contain large amounts of shrink-swell clays known as smectites. Smectites shrink and crack when dry, and they expand when wet. Smectites are also chemically active, and they readily form organo-mineral complexes with soil organic matter, which is what gives these soils the black color. So in essence, the cracking is from the type of clay and the black color is from organic matter that is chemically bound to the clay. Black color is an indicator of organic matter, not cracking.
Is carbon organic?
Carbon is a non-metallic element, exhibiting several isotopes and allotropes. However, there is a very large branch of Chemistry researching into the chemistry of carbon containing compounds, These compounds are referred to as organic compounds, and organic chemistry.
Is phosphate flamable?
Phosphate ions are not flammable or even combustible, because the phosphorus atoms in them already have the highest available formal charge of +5 for phosphorus. An organic phosphate might be flammable if it contains a sufficiently large proportion of carbon and hydrogen in its total mass.
Which layer in a soil profile contains the most organic matter the A horizon or O horizon?
The O horizon contains the most organic matter in a soil profile. It is the top layer of organic material such as decaying leaves, branches, and other plant debris that is actively decomposing. The A horizon, also known as the topsoil, is a layer rich in minerals and organic matter that is developed from the decomposition of plant material in the O horizon.
What layer of soil contains a large amount of decayed matter?
the top one

What problems can organic matter in large doess cause in your swimming pool?
Large amounts of bio matter in the pool Will reduce the amount of free chlorine in the pools water and as a result cause weaker disinfection of the water to take place.
What are some theories about the contents of a black hole?
A black hole contains a large amount of matter, compressed in an incredibly small space.
What kinds of igneous rock usually contains large crystalsorganicclasticintrusiveextrusive?
organic
ATP contains a large amount of energy because?
ATP contains a large amount of energy because it has high-energy phosphate bonds.
Large organic compounds made mostly of carbon and hydrogen with a small amount of oxygen?
organic compounds
What best describes connective tissue?
Connective tissues are classified on the basis of their physical properties.
Which is an organic hydrocarbon that can release a large amount of energy?
Fats; or Lipids
What is the process of detrifying?
The breakdown of organisms into large pieces of organic matter (detritus)
