Highly porous and permeable

Explanation:

Compared to other types of rock layers, an aquifer is highly porous and permeable.

Aquifers are always the target when prospecting for ground water in a formation.

  • Porosity is the amount of void spaces in a rock.
  • Aquifers are highly porous .
  • Permeability is the inter-connectivity of the void spaces and their ability to transmit fluids.
  • Aquifers have very high permeability compared to other rock types.

In terms of permeability and porosity, an aquifer is higher porous and permeable.

Simora [160]

The answer is; warming of ocean water in the east of the Pacific Ocean close to the western coasts of South America.

The warming of the oceanic waters causes a current that pushes the warm waters eastwards of the Pacific Ocean at the equator.  This counters and overpowers the prevailing trade winds that blow westwards. The currents bring in storms on the West coast of South America as the currents exchange heat with the atmosphere .

Soil erosion is a process where the top soil layer is washed away because of the effects of water or wind. An agricultural area
Lana71 [14]

Answer: Plant vegetation so that their roots hold the soil firmly.

Build walls around the farm area.

Add natural fertilizers to the soil.

Soil erosion is a process of removal of top layer of soil which get sediment at some other place due to the affect of agents like wind and water. The superficial upper layers of soil are rich source of nutrients and organic matter and active region for germination of seeds and plant growth. Soil erosion removes these superficial layers making soil less fertile or not fertile and less useful for plant growth.

Plants growing in a vegetation have roots which can hold the soil and will prevent soil erosion from wind and water or any other agent. Building of walls around the farm area will prevent flood water to get inside the farm area and hence, prevents soil erosion by water. Addition of natural fertilizers to the soil adds up nutrients to the soil which facilitate plant growth and plant roots hold the soil therefore, prevents soil erosion.

In a population of grasshoppers, the color green (G) is completely dominant over the color brown (g). If 23% of the population i
barxatty [35]
The answer is 49.92%

Let's use the <span>Hardy-Weinberg principle:
p + q = 1
p</span>² + 2pq + q² = 1
<span>
where:
p - the frequency of dominant allele G
q - </span>the frequency of recessive allele g
p² - the frequency of homozygous dominant individuals GG with colour green
2pq - the frequency of heterozygous individuals Gg with colour green
p² - the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals gg with color brown

23% of the population is brown: p² = 23% = 0.23
p = √(p²) = √0.23 = 0.48

p = 0.48
p + q = 1
0.48 + q = 1
q = 1 - 0.48 = 0.52

<span>The percentage of the population that is expected to be heterozygous is 2pq:
2pq = 2 * p * q = 2 * 0.48 * 0.52 = 0.4992 = 49.92%</span>

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Courtney is looking at Prokaryotic Cell.

Explanation:

Ok, when Courtney is observing the science experiment, and finds a cell that includes DNA and has a nucleoid region but does not have nucleus, it is a prokaryotic cell and only the single-celled organisms of the domains Bacteria and Archaea are classified as prokaryotes, where pro means before and kary means nucleus.

Let's explain what is a prokaryotic cell: prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack organelles or other internal membrane-bound structures. Therefore, they do not have a nucleus, but, instead, generally have a single chromosome: a piece of circular, double-stranded DNA located in an area of the cell called the nucleoid. And most prokaryotes have a cell wall outside the plasma membrane.
