Aforest was completely destroyed by a volcanic eruption. all living organisms were killed. then, due to the arrival of propagules carried by birds from nearby areas, certain plant species started growing in the forest. these species have started colonizing the forest because they could survive the harsh conditions of the forest. they also facilitated the growth of other species. what stage of succession is taking place in the forest?

In positive numbers less than 1, the zeros between the decimal point and non zero are significant

What happens when chlorine reacts with bromine? a. electrons move from the chlorine atoms to the bromine atoms. b. electrons move from the bromine atoms to the chlorine atoms. c. electrons are shared between the chlorine atoms and the bromine atoms. d. electrons become delocalized among the atoms.

Aheat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. the same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. heat pumps are widely used for home heating. you can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat qh, warming the indoors. perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. this is a direct, 100% conversion of work to heat. that is, 19.0 \rm kw of electric power (generated by doing work at the rate 19.0 kj/s at the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 19.0 kj/s. suppose that the neighbor's home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 4.00, a realistic value. note: with a refrigerator, "what you get" is heat removed. but with a heat pump, "what you get" is heat delivered. so the coefficient of performance of a heat pump is k=qh/win. an average price for electricity is about 40 mj per dollar. a furnace or heat pump will run typically 200 hours per month during the winter. what does one month's heating cost in the home with a 16.0 kw electric heater? what does one month's heating cost in the home of a neighbor who uses a heat pump to provide the same amount of heating?
