What causes earthquakes? Be sure to use the words: Core Mantle Conduction Convection Density
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Earthquakes are normally caused by underground rock breaking along a fault line. The seismic waves that cause the earth to shake are caused by this sudden release of energy. The plates or blocks of rock begin to move during and after the earthquake, and they continue to move until they become trapped again. As fluid near the center heats up, convection currents develop within the Earth's mantle. Particles pass more quickly as the core heats the bottom layer of mantle material, lowering its density and allowing it to rise. The convection current is started by the growing material.

A colligative property of a solution is one that depends 1. on the identity of the solute and the concentration of the solution.
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 2.

Explanation:

Colligative property is defined as property which depends upon only on the numbers of particles of solute dissolved in definite amount of  solvent, It do not depend on the nature of the solute.

For example : NaCl solution with 0.4 molal will show same colligative properties as a that of the glucose solution with 0.04 molal concentration.

The following are the examples of colligative property:

1. Relative lowering of vapor pressure.

2. Osmotic pressure

3. Elevation in boiling points

4. Depression in freezing point
