What else can I help you with?
What is a stream of electrically charged particles from the sun called?
The general dissipation of charged particles from the sun is called the Solar Wind. Occasionally the sun also emits vast quantities of matter from bursts known as "Coronal Mass Ejections". (The Corona is the Sun's atmosphere.)
What way can smell move around?
Smells can move around through diffusion, where odor molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. Air movement, such as wind or fans, can also help carry smells to different areas. Additionally, some smells may be carried by particles in the air, such as dust or moisture.
Is a erosion caused by wind a chemical change?
No, erosion caused by wind is a physical change, not a chemical change. The wind is simply moving particles of rock or soil from one place to another without altering their chemical composition.
Give you a sentence for the word brittle?
The old branches of the tree were brittle and snapped easily in the wind.
Can you smell salt in the air by the ocean?
Yes, you can smell salt in the air by the ocean due to the presence of sea spray and salt particles carried by the wind.
What drags along weathered particles and soil causing erosion?
It could be either 'wind' or 'water'; in this context it is most likely referring to wind. Both move small amounts of matter in a way that causes erosion, but "particles" is more likely a reference to wind.
How does a gust of wind move dust - dirt - and other particles?
The atoms, molecules, and small particles in air have mass. Wind is the name we give to a moving mass of air. Moving masses possess kenetic energy. Some of this energy can be transfered by collision, to dust, dirt and other particles on the ground, so they are forced to move too. A leaf blower makes use of this principle.
What agent of erosin can usally move only sand-sized or smaller particles?
Wind is the agent of erosion that can usually move only sand-sized or smaller particles. It picks up and transports these particles over long distances through the process of saltation.
What type of energy do air particles in the wind have?
The air particles in the wind have kinetic energy, which is the energy that comes from their motion. As the particles move, they transfer some of this kinetic energy to objects that they come into contact with, causing them to move as well.
What agent of erosion can usually move only sand size or smaller particles?
Wind
Why is the wind's energy able to move objects?
Because of friction. The kinetic energy in the wind pushes against the particles of the object.
Does wind sort?
Yes. Wind transports small particles more easily than large ones. Large particles are more likely to be left behind while small particles tend to be transported further than larger ones.
What size particles does the wind usually skip and bounce for short distances?
Wind can skip and bounce particles that are small and light, such as sand and dust particles. These particles are able to be carried by the wind and lifted off the ground, allowing them to move horizontally for short distances before settling back down.
Which soil type is most vulnerable to wind erosion?
Sandy soil is most vulnerable to wind erosion because the particles are loose and easily lifted by wind. Without vegetation or other forms of natural protection, sandy soil can be quickly eroded and blown away by strong winds.
What type of soil is mostly affected by the wind?
Loose, sandy soil is most affected by the wind as it is easily eroded and transported by the force of the wind. The lack of cohesion between sand particles makes it more vulnerable to being carried away by strong winds.
What materials does wind move?
Wind primarily moves gases, such as air, but can also move other materials like dust, seeds, and pollutants. The movement of these materials is influenced by the speed and direction of the wind, as well as the weight and shape of the particles.
What agent of erosion can usually move only sandsize or smaller pieces?
Wind is the agent of erosion that can usually move only sand-sized or smaller pieces, primarily due to its relatively low force compared to other agents like water or glaciers. Wind is most effective in arid environments where loose sand particles can be easily lifted and transported.
