During the first half of the 20th century, the theory of plate tectonics was developed. Evidence supporting this theory included

Wegener's mapping of the supercontinent Pangaea, the US Navy's discovery of paleomagnetic reversals, and evidence of sea floor spreading. What is the MOST recent evidence supporting plate tectonics? A) GPS monitoring and satellite imagery of crustal movements B) mapping earthquake epicenters with seismic technology C) sending probes deep into Earth's interior D) radioactive dating of fossil evidence

A) GPS monitoring and satellite imagery of crustal movements

Explanation:

The most recent evidence supporting the theory of plate tectonics is the use of  GPS monitoring and satellite imagery of crustal movements.

GPS denotes Global Positioning Systems.

Satellite imagery is a recent advancement in the study of moving plates.

  • The global positioning system uses the position of a system of satellites in space to delineate positions on earth.
  • It works on the principles of triangulation and this helps to fix positions of objects on the earth surface.
  • With this, the change in position of the plates can be recorded by known fixed positions of objects.
  • Satellite imagery helps to map changes in terrain with time.
  • Images can be correlated through time and the shift in terrains delineated.

18 g of argon occupy 750 ml at a particular temperature and pressure. How many grams of methane would occupy the same volume at
frozen [14]

Answer:

7.21 grams is the mass of methane

Explanation:

We may use the Ideal Gases Equation to solve this:

P. V = n. R. T

Let's determine the moles of Ar

18 g . 1 mol/ 39.9 g = 0.451 mol

In both situations, volume, temperature and pressure are the same so the moles of methane will also be the same as Argon's.

Let's convert the moles to mass of CH4.

0.451 mol . 16g/1mol = 7.21 grams

Potassium is isotopic and has RAM of 39.5 work out the percentage abundance of each isotope in a given sample of potassium which
Troyanec [42]

Yo sup??

Let the percentage of K-39 be x

then the percentage of K-40 is 100-(x+0.01)

We know that the net weight should be 39.5. Therefore we can say

(39*x+40*(100-(x+0.01))+38*0.01)/100=39.5  

(since we are taking it in percent)

39*x+40*(100-(x+0.01))+38*0.01=3950

39x+4000-40x-0.4+0.38=3950

2x=49.98

x=24.99

=25 (approx)

Therefore K-39 is 25% in nature and K-40 is 75% in nature.

Hope this helps.
