Suppose the plates beneath Earth's surface stopped moving.What do you think would happen?Explain your answer.

1 answer:

5 0

There would be no more earthquakes or volcanic eruptions as the earth's plate are the cause of both these occurrences.(which can be seen as a positive)
However, the plates allow the earth to cool when they move because they cause heat loss.If the plates were to stop moving the earth would have to loose heat another way and since we cant tell how this would happen, it could be very dangerous.

Why is one side of the moon called "the dark side of the moon"?

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

The answer is option C or "The amount of time it takes to rotate around it's axis is the same amount of time it takes to revolve around Earth."Remember that the Earth and the Moons amount of time to make a full rotation is almost in sync and they're two sides of the moon, one side we do not see and that's because that side is currently faced away from the Earth which is called the dark side of the moon. Each side has two weeks oh night, and two weeks of day because of how long it takes the moon to revolve, so while we have a side towards the Earth which is illuminated by the sun we have another pointing away in the dark.

Hope this helps.

For the hypothetical reaction: A + B ---> 2C, write an expression that relates the disappearance of A and B to the appearance

forsale [732]

Answer:

Rate expression has been given below

Explanation:

According to the given equation, 1 molecule of A reacts with 1 molecule of B and produces 2 molecules of B at a time.

So, rate of disappearance of both A and B are one half of rate of appearance of B

Hence rate expression can be represented as:

$Rate=\frac{-\Delta [A]}{\Delta t}=\frac{-\Delta [B]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{\Delta [C]}{\Delta t}$

where $\frac{-\Delta [A]}{\Delta t}$ is rate of disappearance of A, $\frac{-\Delta [B]}{\Delta t}$ is rate of disappearance of B and $\frac{\Delta [C]}{\Delta t}$ rate of appearance of C
