Mike is conducting an experiment in which he places several different types of soil in a funnel and then pours one liter of water through each. he is careful to pack equal volumes of the soil samples tightly in the funnel and to make sure that only water makes it out of the bottom. he then records the amount of time it takes for half of the water to pass through the soil and out the bottom of the funnel. he records his data in the table below. soil sample time (seconds) soil w 181 soil x 27 soil y 119 soil z 50 which soil sample is the least permeable? a. soil w b. soil z c. soil y d. soil x

Permeability is a measure of how fast a liquid can pass through a layer of solid. In this case, the lesser the time, the more permeable the solid is. Or the other way around, the bigger the time, the less permeable the solid is. Therefore the answer in this problem is:

A. Soil W

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water

Answer from: Quest

How is it possible that phylogenies based on sequences from nuclear genomes and organellar genomes (i.e., chloroplasts and mitochondria) from the same group of species yield phylogenetic trees with different branching orders? answer : the genome of the endosymbiont is more closely related to members of the group in which it originally evolved, while the nuclear genome of the engulfing organism has its own evolutionary trajectory.
