How does sedimentary rock from the ocean floor sometimes end up in highland and mountainous regions on the Earth? (22.5) (a) Sedimentary rock is commonly made inside volcanoes. (b) Wind and water carry the sediment to the mountaintops. (c) It is believed that asteroid impacts probably caused the sedimentary rock to move great distances. (d) The sedimentary rock was uplifted by powerful forces to form mountain chains.

Every few years, winds in Boulder, Colorado, attain sustained speeds of 43.0 m/s (about 100 mph) when jet steam descends during early spring. Approximately what is the force due to the Bernoulli equation on a roof having an area of 220m2? Typical air density in Boulder is 1.14kg/m3, and be corresponding atmospheric pressure is 8.89104 N/m2. (Bernoulli’s principal as stated in the text assumes laminar flow. Using the principle here produces only an approximate result, because there is significant turbulence.)
