What is the maximum width (or length) of the largest dune?
The following questions are based on the portion of the “Kane Spring NW, California” quadrangle (scale 1:24,000; contour interval 10 feet) shown in Figure 46-6. These isolated dunes in the desert near the Salton Sea (33°11'02"N, 115°52'20"W) are moving over a surface that is only thinly covered with sand.

What property of carbon allows for the formation of so many different organic molecules?
A. Carbon resides in the exact middle of the periodic table, from left to right, with exactly the same number of reactive elements on either side of it. It can therefore react with the maximum number of elements. B. Carbon atoms are unique in their ability to form strong chemical bonds repeatedly with other carbon atoms, which permits the formation of countless possible structures. C. Carbon forms three different isotopes which allows for the formation of many more molecules than other elements. D. Carbon atoms uniquely contain exactly the same number (six) of protons, neutrons, and electrons in their atomic structure.
