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!

2Al(s)+Fe2O3(s) → Al2O(s)+2Fe(s) with a delta H=-847 KJ.
Scrat [10]

∆H for given reaction -847kJ

  • As it's negative reaction is exothermic

So

2 mol of Al releases 847KJ heat

4 mol Al releases

  • 2(847)
  • 1694KJ

∆H=-1694KJ

An expandable container of oxygen has a volume of 30.0mL at a pressure of 36.7psi. If the pressure of the oxygen is reduced to 2
ELEN [110]

Answer:44.04mL

Explanation:Parameters given

V1 = 30.0mL

P1 = 36.7psi

P2 = 25.0psi

V2 = ??

From Boyle's gas law, which states that "the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature"

This means that,

the pressure of a gas tends to increase as the volume of the container decreases, and also the pressure of a gas tends to decrease as the volume of the container increases.

Mathematically, Boyle's can be represented as shown below

P= k/V

Where P = Pressure, V = Volume and k is constant

Therefore,

PV = k

P1V1 = P2V2 =PnVn

Using the formula

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = P1V1/P2

V2 = (36.7psi × 30.0mL) / 25.0psi

V2 = 1101.0/25.0

V2 = 44.04mL

How many carbon atoms are there in 45g of carbon?
nevsk [136]

Answer: 2.26x 10²⁴ atoms C

Explanation: To get the number of atoms,

First we convert mass of C to moles

45g C x 1mole C / 12 g C

= 3.75 moles C

Cancel g of C

Next convert moles of C to atoms using Avogadro's Number.

3.75 moles C x 6.022x10²³ atoms C / 1 mole C

Cancel out the units of moles C.

= 2.26x 10²⁴ atoms of C
