How are landforms and faults related

Chemistry

Earth's crust, the surface layer of the planet, is not solid and unbroken. The forces that rage inside the planet have fractured this brittle layer. Some of these fractures, called faults, lie beneath the surface of the crust. Other faults, however, have ruptured the surface, cracking the crust into various-sized blocks of rock. These blocks dip and rise along faults in response to pressure underground. One block may move up while the other moves down. Sometimes the movement is enough to form valleys or mountains. Other times that movement is not vertical but horizontal, as one block slips along the fault relative to the block on the other side.

Movement of crustal blocks along faults may be regular and slow or sporadic and sudden. When two blocks are forced to move against each other but are locked into position, stress builds up. When that stress becomes greater than the forces holding the blocks together, the blocks are forced to move suddenly and violently. The ground vibrations accompanying that r

Explain why the process of dissolution can be exothermic or endothermic (heat of solution) with different solutes
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The process of dissolving is exothermic when more energy is released when water molecules “bond” to the solute than is used to pull the solute apart. Because more energy is released than is used, the molecules of the solution move faster, making the temperature increase.

Project the image Endothermic Dissolving.

The process of dissolving is endothermic when less energy is released when water molecules “bond” to the solute than is used to pull the solute apart. Because less energy is released than is used, the molecules of the solution move more slowly, making the temperature decrease.

Why do some atoms form positive ions and others form negative ions?
Scrat [10]
It is energetically favorable for all atoms to have a complete outer electron shell. Loosely, the atoms on the left hand side of the periodic table only have a few extra electrons in their outer shell so it is energetically favorable for them to lose them. The atoms on the right hand side of the periodic table almost have enough electrons in their outer shell and so they have a tendency to gain them. Once electrons have left an electron shell, an atom will have a positive charge because it has more protons (positive charges) than electrons (negative charges). Similarly, an electron which has gained electrons to complete its outer shell will have a negative charge because it now has more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge).

What do you think explains why the larger elements are able to form in a supernova explosion? Use evidence from the Supernova 10
lubasha [3.4K]

Larger elements are able to form in a supernova explosion because the star releases very large amounts of energy as well as neutrons, which allows elements heavier than iron to be produced.

<h3>What is Supernova?</h3>

This is referred to the explosion of a star and it resulting in larger elements being formed through a process known as nucleosynthesis and is usually accompanied by an increase in the brightness of the star.

The elements produced are usually larger than elements such as iron and examples include uranium, gold etc.

This is therefore the reason why it was chosen as the most appropriate choice.
