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!

Identify the single displacement reaction. C4H12 + 7O2 ⟶ 6H2O + 4CO2 2H2 + O2 ⟶ 2H2O Al2S3 ⟶ 2Al + 3S Cl2 + 2KBr ⟶ 2KCl + Br2
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:- Cl_2+2KBr\rightarrow 2KCl+Br_2

Explanations:-  The first reaction is combustion reaction as the hydrocarbon is burned in presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

Second reaction is the synthesis reaction as in general a synthesis reaction looks like:

A+B\rightarrow AB

Third reaction is the decomposition reaction as it looks opposite of synthesis reaction.

AB\rightarrow A+B

In general, a single displacement reaction looks like:

AB+C\rightarrow AC+B

Fourth reaction is single replacement reaction as bromine is replaced by chlorine.

So, the correct choice is the last reaction, Cl_2+2KBr\rightarrow 2KCl+Br_2 .

How many valance electrons does group #11 have?
galina1969 [7]

It would have 11 valance electrons.

Example/Explanation:

Say we are talking about groups 10. Group 10 would have 10 valance electrons because of the atom's electronic arrangement in the periodic table.

Describe the contributions of 3 scientists to our current understanding of the atom
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

1. Rutherford did the scattering experiment and observed that some of the rays bounce back. He concluded that there is a mass in which positive charge is concentrated. This marks the discovery of nucleus.

2. J.J Thomson discovered electrons by conducting cathode ray experiment.

3. Dalton postulated that matter is made up of small particles caled atoms

How many moles of carbon are in 25 grams of carbon
Brut [27]

Answer:

One mole of carbon would look like 25/12.01

Explanation:

Firstly, you will divide 25 by 12.01 and get 2.081598  

We know 1 mole equals the gram per atomic mass,  so one mole of carbon is 12.01 grams. In conclusion, it would look like 25/12.01.
