The correct answer is:

c. convection.

The heating of magma and the continuous cycle of evolution of the magma creating a convection current is the reason for the evolution of Earths tectonic plates.

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are ready to move because the Earth's lithosphere has higher strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density changes in the mantle appear in convection. Plate movement is believed to be driven by a succession of the motion of the seafloor apart from the extended ridge (due to variations in topography and density of the crust.

When the temperature of the air is 50°C, the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately?
noname [10]

The answer is:

C. 361 m/s

The explanation:

To calculate  the speed of sound at a given temperature (50°C) we are going to use this formula:

v = 331 + 0.6T

when V is the velocity

and T is the temperature = 50°C

by substitution:

v = 331 + 0.6(50)

v = 361 m/s

So, The correct answer is C.

because of the variation of the motion of the molecules of air with change of temperature so, the velocity (V) of the  sound in the air is change with temperature.

Sveta_85 [38]

  The centre of mass of the system is the point at which the total

  mass of system could be concentrated without changing the moment

  of the system.

Centre of Mass is the point at which the whole mass of the system

is assumed to be concentrated.

 The general formula for the COM is:

              xₙ =  Σmₐxₐ / Σmₐ         where,  a = 1,2,3.........n

  Here the term Σ mₐ xₐ is called the first moment of the system and the

  denominator expression is called total mass of the system.

    Therefore, from this theory we can say that the moment of the system

    remain unchanged while calculating the COM.

  Hence, The centre of mass of the system is the point at which the total

  mass of system could be concentrated without changing the moment

  of the system.
