Answer:

asthenosphere

Explanation:

Aesthenosphere is the uppermost part of the mantle and it is a region known for it high viscosity. The aesthenosphere is like a thick and heavy liquid. The next layer above the aesthenosphere is the lithosphere.

The aesthenosphere is what drive convection and plate tectonic . Convection talks about when less dense material rises and more dense material sinks.

The aesthenosphere through convection allows the lithospheric plate to move on it and this is what causes deformation and ductility of various rock bodies. This region plays a major role in plate tectonic as they determine how the plate are been separated into different parts.

This aesthenosphere is the region were molten magma migrate to the earth surface. The molten magma might erupt through volcano to the earth surface due to pressure .

Hello!

Your answer is A, asthenosphere

<u>The asthenosphere is a part of the mantle</u>. It helps move the plates in the Earth.

It is <u>below the lithosphere,</u> between <u>80 and 200 km</u> below the surface.

Therfore, the asthenosphere is <u>the part of the mantle that is still a solid but flows like a thick, heavy liquid.</u>

<u />

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

What is the pH of 0.0001 M NaOH
kow [346]
Well. NaOH is a base. That's the first thing you need to watch for.
So to find the pOH, you take -log(.0001)
that would be 4. So now you have the pOH and <u>you still need to find the pH
</u>To find pH from pOH, you take 14(the maximum pH,sorta)-pOH(in this case 4)
14-4=10 The pH of NaOH is 10

In cellular chemical pathways, the product(s) of any particular reaction are often quickly consumed by the next reaction in the
mezya [45]

Answer:

Tend to keep the product concetration <u>low</u> and therefore drive the reaction <u>righward</u>

Explanation:

The fact the products of a reaction are quickly consumed by the next one would tend to keep the product concetration low and therefore drive the reaction righward (to the products).

This happens because the system will not achive equilibrium between the reactants and the product, and will keep producing it util the system achives equilibrium or the reactants dry out.

Suppose you find a rock that contains some potassium-40 (half-life of 1.3 billion years). you measure the amount and determine t
Alborosie
Equation for Half life :
A = a(0.5)^(t/h)
A is current amount, "a" is initial amount, h is halflife, t is time

5 = 40(0.5)^(t/1.3x10^9)
5/40 = (0.5)^(t/1.3x10^9)
take the log of both sides , power rule
Log(5/40) = (t/1.3x10^9) * Log(0.5)
(1.3x10^9) * Log(5/40) / Log(0.5) = t
3.9x10^9 years = t

And if you think about what a half life is, the time it take for the amount to reduce to half.
40/2 = 20
20/2 = 10
10/2 = 5
It went through 3 half-lifes
3 * 1.3x10^9 = 3.9x10^9 years
