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.

How do moss leaves and fish differ? How are they the same?
Lapatulllka [165]
Moss leaves and fish are different in that, the moss leave is a producer, that is, it produces its own food through photosynthesis while the fish is a consumer, it feeds on foods that are not produced by it.  
Both moss and fish are the same in the sense that both have cell as their basic unit of life, that is, they both possess cells.

One of the intermediates in the synthesis of glycine from ammonia, carbon dioxide, and methane is aminoacetonitrile, C2H4N2. The
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Mass of C₂H₄N₂ produced = 3.64 g

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is given below:

3CH₄ (g) + 5CO₂ (g) + 8NH₃ (g) → 4C₂H₄N₂ (g) + 10H₂O (g)

From the equation, 3 moles of CH₄ reacts with 5 moles of CO₂ and 8 moles of NH₃ to produce 4 moles of C₂H₄N₂ and 10 moles of H₂O

Molar masses of the compounds are given below below:

CH₄ = 16 g/mol; CO₂ = 44 g/mol; NH3 = 17 g/mol; C₂H₄N₂ = 56 g/mol; H₂O g/mol

Comparing the mole ratios of the reacting masses;

CH₄ = 1.65/16 = 0.103

CO₂ = 13.5/44 = 0.307

NH₃ = 2.21/17 = 0.130

converting to whole number ratios by dividing with the smallest ratio

CH₄ = 0.103/0.103 = 1

CO₂ = 0.307/0.103 = 3

NH₃ = 0.130/0.103 = 1.3

Multiplying through with 5

CH₄ = 1 × 5 = 5

CO₂ = 3 × 5 = 15

NH₃ = 1.3 × 5 = 6.5

Therefore, the limiting reactant is NH₃

8 × 17 g (136 g) of NH₃ reacts to produce 4 × 56 g (224 g) of C₂H₄N₂

Therefore, 2.21 g of NH₃ will produce (2.21 × 224)/136 g of C₂H₄N₂ = 3.64 g of C₂H₄N₂

Mass of C₂H₄N₂ produced = 3.64 g
