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 is a chemical or physical process in which rocks exposed to the weather are worn down by water wind or ice?
Smaller particles of rock are produced from larger particles.
What type of a mixture is a sandstorm?
A sandstorm is a mixture of sand particles, dust and wind. Heavier sand particles are found closer to the ground and lighter dust particles higher up. A violent sandstorm can be tens of kilometers wide, several hundred meters tall and can last for several days.
Do gases have particles?
Not as a general rule. Charged particles tend to be chemically active unless in solution. On a dry day when the wind is blowing there tends to be a build up of charged particles which causes humans to be irritable. Static electricity is the result of a slight build up of charge whereas lightning indicates a larger build up.
What is technique used to separate soil particles from water?
Fitration, sedimentation, floatation are some techniques to separate solids (soil) from liquid (water). Don't forget: evaporation (drying) the wet soil by (forced or natural) aeration (wind or van).
What agent of erosion can usually move only sand-sized or smaller particles?
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.
What two forces can move sand?
Wind and water move sand easily. I
How the wind cause soil erosion?
wind can move and carry away the tiny particles of soil, which carries
Only the smallest particles of soil can be displaced by suspension because?
They are easily carried by the 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.
Wind abrasion is caused by larger particles of soil called?
Most wind abrasion is caued by larger particles of soil called what
What agent of erosin can usally move only sand-sized or smaller particles?
wind
What agent of erosion can usually move only sand size or smaller particles?
Wind
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.
Why is wind erosion more likely to happen in dry areas than moist areas?
Wet soil sticks together, and the particles are not easily moved by wind. Dry soil, particles do NOT clump, and are easily moved by wind. And if you write in this area, the computer thinks your question has been answered, and you only get an answer if one of us catches it.
What is 200 miles per hour of wind like?
Without protection it is virtually unsurvivable and even small dust particles would sting the skin. Such a wind can easily hurl a person to their death. In a 200 mph wind most structures will be destroyed, some completely annihilated.
