Which two forces do scientists believe are responsible for tectonic plate motion

Chemistry
2 answers:
AfilCa [17]3 years ago

Answer : option B) Gravity acting on the edges of plates and friction between the plate and the asthenosphere.

Explanation : The gravitational force acting on the edges of the tectonic plates raise a friction between the plate and the asthenosphere, which results into the motion of the tectonic plates.

Usually, the tectonic plates are found to move because of the intense heat produced from the Earth's core which causes the molten rock in the mantle layer to move and make a motion. It moves in a pattern which is called as convection cell that forms when the warm material rises, and cools, later eventually sink down producing the motion in the tectonic plates.

How many grams of carbon (C) would be present in carbon monoxide (CO) that contains 2.666 grams of oxygen (O)? For example if th
oee [108]

Given :

Mass of oxygen containing carbon monoxide (CO) is 2.666 gram .

To Find :

How many grams of carbon (C) would be present in carbon monoxide (CO) that contains 2.666 grams of oxygen (O) .

Solution :

By law of constant composition , a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio (by mass) and does not depend on its source and method of preparation.

So , volume of solution does not matter .

Moles of oxygen , n=\dfrac{2.666}{16}=0.167\ mole .

Now , molecule of CO contains 1 mole of C .

So , moles of C is also 0.167 mole .

Mass of carbon , m=12\times 0.167=2\ g .

Therefore , mass of carbon is 2 grams .

Hence , this is the required solution .

Over a long period of time, an igneous rock changes into a sedimentary rock. Which of these actions must have affected the igneo
Alla [95]

Answer: The actions that must have affected the igneous rock in order to form the sedimentary rock is that (It must have been broken down into sediments).

Explanation:

Rocks are solid structures that occurs naturally which is made up of different minerals. There are three main types of rocks, these includes:

--> METAMORPHIC ROCKS: These are the type of rocks which are formed by temperature and pressure changes inside the Earth.

--> SEDIMENTARY ROCKS: these rocks are usually formed from pre-existing rocks through the process of weathering (breaking down) of rocks.

--> IGNEOUS ROCKS: these rocks are formed when molten magma cools beneath or above the earth surface.

The actions that must have affected the igneous rock in order to form the sedimentary rock is that the igneous rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by erosion and weathering processes. Sediments which are formed accumulates at the earth surface. Over a long period of time, these sediments builds successive layers on top of one another. The sediments near the base hardens to form sedimentary rocks. This justifies the statement as a correct option (It must have been broken down into sediments).

Sati [7]
Hypothesis is a smart guess that you make on the result of your experiment. You make this even before doing the experiment through inferential analysis. If the hypothesis you made was that, cotton will grow larger balls, then in the experiment, you should measure the cotton boll's size. The size should be in terms of diameter. So, the answer is b.
