Sediments accumulate in the Atlantic at approximately 1 cm kyr-1 How thick are the sediments approximately 500 km from the ridge crest when the spreading rate is 2.5cm yr-1?
At a spreading rate of 2.5 cm/yr, sediments accumulate at 1 cm/kyr. This means that 500 km away from the ridge crest, which is 50,000 cm, sediments would be (50,000 cm / 1 cm/kyr) = 50,000 kyr thick. Therefore, the sediments would be approximately 50,000 cm, or 500 m thick at that distance from the ridge crest.
What are facts about pebbles?
pebbles are sediments that range in size from 0.2 cm to 6.4 cm.
What type of sedimentary rock would form from sediment 0.0002 cm in diameter?
Sediments of 0.0002 cm in diameter would likely form siltstone, a type of sedimentary rock composed primarily of silt-sized particles. Siltstone has a fine-grained texture, as silt particles are smaller than sand but larger than clay.
What is the slowest stream velocity needed to maintain 001 cm particles downstream?
To prevent particles of 0.01 cm from settling downstream, a minimum stream velocity of 0.02 m/s is required, based on Stokes' law calculations for settling velocity.
What is the approximate minimum stream velocity needed to keep a 6.4-cm-diameter particle in motion?
hey....
How tall is Rio?
Given the category and the fact that 'rio' means - river / brook / stream. The answer to your question is that a river does not have a 'height'.
Which groups of particles sizes can be transported by a stream that has a velocity equal to 20 cms?
A stream with a velocity of 20 cm/s can transport particles up to fine sand size (0.0625 - 2 mm). Larger particles such as gravel and boulders would require a faster flow velocity to be transported.
What is the volume of of a prism that has dimension are 2 cm 3 cm 2 cm?
Which dimensions are which? For a base of 2 cm, height of 3 cm, and length of 2 cm it would be 5 cm^3. It would be the same if the base were 3 cm, but if the length were 3 cm it would instead be 6 cm^3.
What is the approximate minimum stream velocity needed to kepp a 6.4 cm diamiter particle in motion?
The minimum stream velocity needed to keep a 6.4 cm diameter particle in motion is dependent on factors such as the density of the particle and the fluid, as well as other environmental conditions. However, as a general guideline, the velocity required can be estimated to be around 2-3 cm/s for particles of this size.
If one cm 85.7 miles and want to know how much cm it would be to get to nashville to Indianapolis?
It would be about 3.35 cm
Which operation would convert 15.5m to cm?
Division would be the operation that would convert 15.5m to cm. You would divide by 100.
What is the approximate minimum stream velocity needed to keep a particle in motion that has a diameter of 10 centimeters?
The minimum stream velocity needed to keep a particle in motion can be estimated using the settling velocity equation. For a 10 cm diameter particle, the approximate minimum stream velocity would need to be around 0.03 m/s to keep it in motion. This value may vary depending on factors such as particle density and fluid properties.
