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 does carbon 14 work
Verdich [7]

Carbon-14 dating is a way of determining the age of certain archeological artifacts of a biological origin up to about 50,000 years old. It is used in dating things such as bone, cloth, wood and plant fibers that were created in the relatively recent past by human activities.

Name each of the following species for the following acid-base reactions. (The equilibrium lies to the right in each case, i.e.,
DaniilM [7]

Answer: a) H_3O^++CH_3O^-\rightleftharpoons CH_3OH+H_2O

acid : hydronium ion

base : methoxide ion

conjugate acid : methanol

conjugate base: water

b) CH_3CH_2O^-+HCl\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH+Cl^-

acid : hydrogen chloride

base : ethoxide ion

conjugate acid : ethanol

conjugate base: chloride ion

c) NH_2^-+CH_3OH\rightleftharpoons NH_3+CH_3O^-

acid : methanol

base : amide ion

conjugate acid : ammonia

conjugate base: methoxide ion

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

The species accepting a proton is considered as a base and after accepting a proton, it forms a conjugate acid.

The species losing a proton is considered as an acid and after loosing a proton, it forms a conjugate base

For the given chemical equation:

a) H_3O^++CH_3O^-\rightleftharpoons CH_3OH+H_2O

acid : hydronium ion

base : methoxide ion

conjugate acid : methanol

conjugate base: water

b) CH_3CH_2O^-+HCl\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH+Cl^-

acid : hydrogen chloride

base : ethoxide ion

conjugate acid : ethanol

conjugate base: chloride ion

c) NH_2^-+CH_3OH\rightleftharpoons NH_3+CH_3O^-

acid : methanol

base : amide ion

conjugate acid : ammonia

conjugate base: methoxide ion

Identify three additional ways scientists learn about the Earth's interior.
anygoal [31]
The Equator is an imaginary line around the middle of the Earth. It is halfway between the North and South Poles, and divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The Equator is the line of 0 degrees latitude. Each parallel measures one degree north or south of the Equator, with 90 degrees north of the Equator and 90 degrees south of the Equator. The latitude of the North Pole is 90 degrees N, and the latitude of the South Pole is 90 degrees S hope this helps

An acid sample of an unknown concentration is contained in a erlenmeyer flask. Which technique below would be best suited to ana
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Titration

Explanation:

The best technique which can be used to determine the number of moles of the HCl in the sample is titration.

The given amount of HCl solution must be titrated with known concentration of the base like NaOH.

The volume of NaOH required must be noted also.

According to the reaction,

NaOH+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O

At equivalence point

Moles of HCl = Moles of NaOH

Considering:-

Moles of HCl=Molarity_{NaOH}\times Volume_{NaOH}

Thus, in this way, moles of HCl can be determined.
