The movement of the ocean's crust

ludmilkaskok [199]3 years ago

Answer:

<u>When oceanic crust pulls apart magma rises to the surface at the mid-ocean ridges which then spills out to create new bands of rocks at the sea floor.</u>

Explanation:

  • These magnetic strips and flips on the seafloor can be found due to the magma or the lava variations on the surface of the sea bottoms. The patterns that it develops in the ridges results in the form of a band of hard and soft like white and black rocks that magnetically vary in chemical-physical properties.
  • These strips provide evidence of the movement and spread of lava and plate tectonic activities on the ocean floor. As the new rocks are created the alignment takes place and the global orientation of the new crust gets created.
  • As deep oceanic valley forms part of the ridges it pushes the old rocks further below

plzzzzz help ..........How do the processes of conduction, convection, and radiation help distribute energy on Earth?
kodGreya [7K]

ENERGY TRANSFER IN THE ATMOSPHERE:

Atmosphere surrounds the earth made up of different layers of gases such as Argon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Exophere, Thermosphere, Mesophere, Stratosphere, Toposphere

The energy that drives the climate system comes from the Sun. When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth it is partially absorbed in different parts of the climate system. The absorbed energy is converted back to heat, which causes the Earth to warm up and makes it habitable. Solar radiation absorption is uneven in both space and time and this gives rise to the intricate pattern and seasonal variation of our climate. To understand the complex patterns of Earth's radiative heating we begin by exploring the relationship between Earth and the Sun throughout the year, learn about the physical laws governing radiative heat transfer, develop the concept of radiative balance, and explore the implications of all these for the Earth as a whole. We examine the relationship between solar radiation and the Earth's temperature, and study the role of the atmosphere and its constituents in that interaction, to develop an understanding of the topics such as the "seasonal cycle" and the "greenhouse effect".


The Sun and its energy.

The Sun is the star located at the center of our planetary system. It is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. In the Sun's interior, a thermonuclear fusion reaction converts the hydrogen into helium releasing huge amounts of energy. The energy created by the fusion reaction is converted into thermal energy (heat) and raises the temperature of the Sun to levels that are about twenty times larger that of the Earth's surface. The solar heat energy travels through space in the form of electromagnetic waves enabling the transfer of heat through a process known as radiation.


Solar radiation occurs over a wide range of wavelengths. However, the energy of solar radiation is not divided evenly over all wavelengths but is rather sharply centered on the wavelength band of 0.2-2 micrometers (μm=one millionth of a meter).


The physics of radiative heat transfer.

Before proceeding to investigate the effect of solar radiation on Earth we should take a moment to review the physical laws governing the transfer of energy through radiation. In particular we should understand the following points:


The radiative heat transfer process is independent of the presence of matter. It can move heat even through empty space.

All bodies emit radiation and the wavelength (or frequency) and energy characteristics (or spectrum) of that radiation are determined solely by the body's temperature.

The energy flux drops as the square of distance from the radiating body.

Radiation goes through a transformation when it encounters other objects (solid, gas or liquid). That transformation depends on the physical properties of that object and it is through this transformation that radiation can transfer heat from the emitting body to the other objects.


Radiation transfer from Sun to Earth.

Properties of Solar radiation: The Sun is located at the center of our Solar System, at a distance of about 150 x 106 kilometers from Earth. With a surface temperature of 5780 K (degrees Kelvin = degrees C + 273.15), the energy flux at the surface of the Sun is approximately 63 x 106 W/m2. This radiative flux maximizes at a wavelength of about 0.5 μm.

Solar radiation on Earth: As the Sun's energy spreads through space its spectral characteristics do not change because space contains almost no interfering matter. However the energy flux drops monotonically as the square of the distance from the Sun. Thus, when the radiation reaches the outer limit of the Earth's atmosphere, several hundred kilometers over the Earth's surface, the radiative flux is approximately 1360 W/m2.

When a phosphate group is removed from an ATP molecule, energy is......................
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Released.

Explanation:

The bonds between the phosphates in ATP are very high energy, meaning that the bonds really really want to break because phosphates don't like being so close to each other.  When the bonds do break, a ton of energy is released (think of it like a celebration that they aren't so close anymore).

Which molecule is secreted from the peritubular capillary network into the convoluted tubules?
kow [346]
The correct answer is  H+.
<span>Secretion from the peritubular capillary network into the convoluted tubules is a process called tubular secretion. This is an important process for both waste removal and acid-base balance. The secretion step is usually used to remove drugs, toxins, and poisons, or other molecules such as potassium (K+) and hydrogen (H+). The secreted molecules come from the peritubular capillaries and pass through the interstitial fluid before going through the wall of the tubule into the lumen of the tubule.</span>
