The variation of water depth at spreading centers (ridges) controlled by isostasy  as convective cooling cools the rocks much more effectively the than heat conduction.

<h3>What is convective heat transfer?</h3>

When heat transfer takes place between the two fluids in direct or indirect contact.

The lithosphere cools when it moves away from the ridge axis by sea floor spreading. The cooler rocks have low density, so the sea floor gets deeper as the lithosphere gets more dense.

Thus, the convective cooling cools the rocks much more effectively the than heat conduction.

Ket [755]

Answer:

Perfectly inelastic collision

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

1. Elastic collision : When the momentum of the system and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved, the collision is said to be elastic. For example, the collision of two atoms or molecules are considered to be elastic collision.

2. Inelastic collision: When the momentum  the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved, the collision is said to be inelastic. For example, collision of a ball with the mud.

For a perfectly elastic collision, the two bodies stick together after collision.

Here, the meteorite collide with the Mars and buried inside it, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic. here the kinetic energy of a body lost completely during the collision.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

M= F^n / a+g

Explanation:

This shows correctly Newton’s second law, where sum of forces is divided by mass is equal to acceleration. Also mass can’t be negative so F^n is positive.

1.      A rocket is forced forward by the ______ force of its engines, expelling gases out the rear of the rocket.​
AURORKA [14]

There are two forces acting on a rocket at the moment of lift off: Thrust pushes the rocket upwards by pushing gases downwards in the opposite direction.Weight is the force due to gravity pulling the rocket downwards towards the centre of the earth.So I'm thinking the answer is THRUST.

You just calibrated a constant volume gas thermometer. The pressure of the gas inside the thermometer is 286.0 kPa when the ther
diamong [38]

Answer:

T_{2} = 606.69 K

Explanation:

In that the gas thermometer is a constant volume, it is satisfied that:

\frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} } = \frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }  

How the boiling water is under regular atmospheric pressure, then

T_{1} = 373 .15 K

Thus

\frac{286000}{373.15} = \frac{465000}{T_{2} }

T_{2} = 606.69 K

I don’t know why it glitches like that???? I need help tho...brainliest for best answer
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

B. They each contain the same amount of matter.

Explanation:

Scientifically, mass is the amount of matter in an object.

A. Whether an object is big or small does not mean that it will be a certain mass. If you have two objects that are the same size, the denser object will have more mass, and the less dense object will have less mass.

C. The amount of space an object takes up is called the volume.

D. Different combinations and amounts of elements can give you the same mass. Rocks, books and cans of soda are made of different things.
