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

Chemistry

AfilCa [17]2 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.

An atom in an excited state contains more of what type of energy than the same atom in the ground state? An atom in an excited s
kupik [55]

Answer: An atom in an excited state contains more of kinetic energy than the same atom in the ground state.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy acquired by an object due to its motion. And, thermal energy is the internal energy of an object arisen because of the kinetic energy present within the molecules of the object.

Potential energy is the energy acquired by an object due to its position.

The total energy present at the center of mass of an object is known as mass-energy.

So, when an atom gets excited then it means it is gaining kinetic energy due to which it moves from its initial position after getting excited.

Thus, we can conclude that an atom in an excited state contains more of kinetic energy than the same atom in the ground state.
