Experiment: Click Return to original settings. Using the Gizmo, test the effect of precipitation on the rate of weathering by measuring the amount of weathered sandstone in 20,000 years with low and high precipitation. Be sure to keep all the other variables the same. Describe your results below.

Consider a file currently consisting of 200 blocks. assume that the file control block (and the index block in the case of indexed allocation) is already in memory. calculate how many disk i/o operations are required for contiguous, linked, and indexed (single-level) allocation strategies, for each of the conditions listed below. in the contiguous-allocation case, assume that there is not room to grow at the beginning but there is room to grow at the end. also assume that the block information to be added is stored in memory.
