Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources and create greenhouse gases.  While cheaper now to  burn fossil fuels, within fifty years we will run out and have to turn to other sources of energy.  Hope this helps!!!

What happens if a mid-ocean ridge occurs on land
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Despite being such prominent feature on our planet, much of the mid-ocean ridge system remains a mystery. While we have mapped about half of the global mid-ocean ridge in high resolution, less than one percent of the mid-ocean ridge has been explored in detail using submersibles or remotely operated vehicles. so therefore we do not have enough information about them to know what will happen

Explanation:

A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary. Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart. As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing enormous volcanic eruptions of basalt. The speed of spreading affects the shape of a ridge  slower spreading rates result in steep, irregular topography while faster spreading rates produce much wider profiles and more gentle slopes.

You have a 1.55 kg block of silver at room temperature of 20 °C. Silver melts at 962°C. How much heat energy would be needed to
notsponge [240]
Specific heat capacity= heat energy/mass×temperature rise

962°C - 20°C = 942K

Heat energy (Eh) = 239 × 1.55 × 942
Eh= 348963.9J

shc of Ag: 238.6 J/kg-K

m of Ag: 1.55kg
