One way they are the same is, they both disrupt the biosphere weather breaking or any other thing. Two ways they are different is earth quakes usually happen because a plate has moved or is moving. A tsunami has to do with water being drawn back creating a big tidal wave. Another difference is, an earthquake happens very sudden, you can't predict when they are coming. A tsunami you can predict because of the weather that has been happening lately in that area. 

Sorry for the long answer, but hope this helped. :)

One way they are similar is because an earthquake causes a tsunami so they are connected. two ways they are not is because ones dealing with water and ones dealing with land, and an earthquake is very sudden while a tsunami, you know its coming and you have time to move.

What should be the temperature of the solvent before adding it to the sample to be recrystallized?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Near the boiling point of the solvent

Explanation:

The process of recrystallization is hinged on the fact that the amount of solute that can be dissolved by a solvent increases with temperature. The process involves creation of a solution by dissolving a solute in a solvent at or near its boiling point.  At the boiling point of the solvent, the solute has a greater solubility in the solvent; not much volume of  the hot solvent is required to dissolve the solute.

Before the solution is later cooled, you can now filter out insoluble impurities from the hot solvent. The quantity of the original solute drops appreciably because impurities have been removed. At this lower temperature, the solution becomes saturated and the solute can no longer be held in solution hence it forms pure crystals of solute, which can be recovered.

Recrystallization must be carried out using the proper solvent. The solute must be relatively insoluble in the solvent at room temperature but more soluble in the solvent at elevated temperature.

What is exchanged between the system and the surroundings ​
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

see note under explanation

Explanation:

When describing system and surroundings the system is typically defined as the 'object of interest' being studied and surroundings 'everything else'. In thermodynamics heat flow is typically defined as endothermic or exothermic. However, one should realize that the terms endothermic and exothermic are in reference to the 'system' or object of interest being studied. For example if heat is transferred from a warm object to a cooler object it is imperative that the system be defined 1st. So, with that, assume the system is a warm metal cylinder being added into cooler water. When describing heat flow then the process is exothermic with respect to the metal cylinder (the system) but endothermic to the water and surroundings (everything else).

How does water's dissolving power support life on Earth?
kozerog [31]
The dissolving power of water is very important for life on Earth. Wherever water goes, it carries dissolved chemicals, minerals, and nutrients that are used to support living things. Because of their polarity, water molecules are strongly attracted to one another, which gives water a high surface tension
