A.cooler and hotter rock rise but do not sink.

B.hotter and cooler rock sink but do not rise.

C.hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

D.cooler rock rises and hotter rock sinks.

hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The process that happens inside the surface of earth makes the rocks inside the surface to either expand or shrink in size because of the presence of heat inside the surface.

Heat rises and as the warmer rock gets further away from the super heated center of the Earth it begins to cool off and starts to sink back toward the super heated center of the Earth where it is reheated and the whole process starts over again. That is what a convection current is.

It’s estimated that there are a trillion comets in the Oort cloud, which extends out to about 50,000 AU.How much space does each

dexar [7]

Answer:

Each comet has 523 UA³
The typical spacing would be 8.05 UA
2.0181x10^21 Joules

Explanation:

Assuming comets are evenly distributed we can find first the volume of a sphere with the formula frac{{4}{3}}πr³ using 50000 as the radius, and then dividing this volume by the amount of comets. This gives a the space each comet has on average.
We apply the cube root as proposed in the question.
The kinectic energy is given <em>K=frac{{1}{2}}mv² where m is the mass and v is the velocity. Apropriate unit are given in the question.</em>

Irina18 [472]

Kirchhoff's circuit laws are two equalities that deal with the current and potential difference (commonly known as voltage) in the lumped element model of electrical circuits. They were first described in 1845 by German physicist Gustav Kirchhoff. This generalized the work of Georg Ohm and preceded the work of Maxwell.
