A camper takes a 100-gram piece of basalt rock from a campfire and places it in a cup holding 250 mililiters of water. The temperature of the rock is 300C and the temperature of the water is 20C. Air temperature is also 20C. In the process of heating the water with the basalt, the temperature of the basalt decreased more than the temperature of the water increased. This difference most likey occured because

Answer:

This difference most likely occurred because the specific heat of water is higher than that of basalt.

Explanation:

Basalt is a fine-grained, dark-colored igneous rock that is mostly made up of plagioclase and pyroxene minerals.

Water is a gaseous, liquid, or solid substance made up of the chemical elements hydrogen and oxygen, and it can exist in gaseous, liquid, and solid states.

Basalt can be used to heat water. But when the specific heat of water is higher than that of basalt, the temperature of the basalt will drop more than the temperature of the water will rise when the water is heated with the basalt.

Therefore, this difference most likely occurred because the specific heat of water is higher than that of basalt.

What is the purpose of this excerpt from the article "What Is GIS?"?

GIS also can be used for complex modeling to answer a wide range of "what if" and ecosystem simulation questions. These may be cartographic models designed to document the co-occurrence or interrelationship of multiple data layers or they may be hypothetical research models designed to mimic natural ecological systems. Similarly, modeling with GIS can be used to predict the impacts that one set of parameters will have on another. For example, wetlands, soils, hydrography, climatology and elevation data can be combined to model flooding within a river system. Upstream changes in land use within the same system can be modeled to determine the potential impact of conversion of a forested floodplain to residential development or to agriculture. As a result, both natural system responses to storm events and the impact of human land use decisions can be assessed prior to the proposed action.
