Answer:

C. Cohesion of molecules

Explanation:

Cohesion is the interaction of molecules of the same substance together. By the force of cohesion if two drops of water come together they form one. Water has high rates of cohesion due to hydrogen bonds.  

This phenomenon also called surface tension and is what allows small insects to stand on water.

Cohesion along with adhesion of water to the walls of the narrow tube generate what is called capillarity. This allows liquids to ascend inside the narrow tubes. As long as the cohesion is less than the adhesion, the liquid will rise until both forces are equal.

Rocks in continental crust are as old as blank years
timofeeve [1]

Answer: Option (C)

Explanation: The rocks at the continental crust are present since a long time, and the oldest rocks so far encountered from the continental crust is approximately 4.4 billion years old.

          This has been determined by the Uranium-Lead dating method (Ur₂₃₈-Pb₂₀₆).

Oceanic rocks are estimated to be of very recent age i.e about only 180 million years old.

What is the slope of the line? please help.
muminat

Answer:

The slope is \frac{4}{3}.

Explanation:
Slope is \frac{y}{x}, and to find it we need to look for where the line directly ends on the corner of the graph square. One occurs at (3,4), but the reason the slope is 4/3 and not 3/4 is because it is y over x. The y coordinate lines up at 4 and the x lines up at 3 getting you your answer of \frac{4}{3}. I hope this helps! :) Sorry if this makes no sense- but the answer is 4/3.
