1. A mudslide wipes out the side of a thriving hill: This is negative as many trees and other organisms will get destroyed.
2. A volcano erupts, covering the nearby land with lava: This is negative as molten and extremely hot lava can cause serious damage to its surroundings.
3. A forest is rapidly growing new plant life: This is positive because new plants are being grown.
4. Humans remove wolves from a national park to protect surrounding homes: This is positive for humans because humans will be safe but it is negative for the eco system as removal of wolves can upset the eco system cycle.
5. A dam is built in the middle of a river ecosystem to supply water to a nearby town: This is positive for humans as a new water resource is being developed for humans but negative for aquatic organisms as the dam can hamper their ecosystem and can cause pollution in water.
Answer:
Some particles traveled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.
Explanation:
Rutherford concluded from his experiment that there are empty spaces present in most parts of the atom while a heavy positive charge is present in the nucleus of an atom due to which the tiny positively charged particles deflects because of positive-positive charge repulsion. Most of positively charged particles passes undeflected which indicated the presence of empty spaces in the atoms. The electrons revolve around the nucleus have no effect on the deflection of positively charged particles.
Answer:
The amount of light they receive.
Explanation:
In an experiment, the independent variable is the part of the experiment that the experimenter changes. In this experiment, the only thing that's different for each of the plants is the amount of light they receive. Everything else is the same - the same amount of soil, same amount of water, same pots, and so on.
Correct answer: A). Light slows down as it moves from the air in to the water, resulting in refraction, or a bending of light.
This is because as light travels through one media it travels in a straight line, however, when it travels from one media to another media it bends, light path bends because of the phenomenon of refraction of light.
The refraction takes place only at the boundary, as the light continues to cross the boundary, it travels in a straight line.
So, as the portion of the pencil is submerged in water, the light will travel from water to air.
Hence it appears to be broken because of refraction of light. So, the correct answer would be option A.
