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

Look at the diagram. Which shows the correct arrangement of electrons in water?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Option 4

Explanation:

In water molecule, oxygen has -2 charge on it while the hydrogen has +1 charge and one atom of oxygen combines with two hydrogen atoms. A hydrogen need only two electrons to complete its octet (one electron is its own the second electron is shared by oxygen) and a oxygen needs 8 electrons (It has six of its own and two are shared by two hydrogen atom).

Hence, option 4 is correct

The half-life of a positron is very short. It reacts with an electron, and the masses of both are converted to two gamma-ray pho
sp2606 [1]

Explanation:

(a)   It is known that relation between energy and mass is as follows.

            E = 2 \times mc^{2}

where,    E = energy

              m = mass

              c = speed of light = 3 \times 10^{8} m/s

As it is given that mass is 9.109 \times 10^{-31} kg. So, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

             E = 2 \times mc^{2}

                       = 2 \times 9.109 \times 10^{-31} kg \times 3 \times 10^{8}m/s

                       = 1.638 \times 10^{-13} J

Therefore, we can conclude that the energy produced by the reaction between one electron and one positron is 1.638 \times 10^{-13} J.

(b) When gamma ray photons are produced then they will have the same frequency. Relation between energy and frequency is as follows.

                    E = h \times \nu   ..... (1)

where,     h = plank's constant = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} J.s

              \nu = frequency

Also,     E = 2 \times mc^{2} ........ (2)

Hence, equating equations (1) and (2) as follows.

                    h \times \nu = 2 \times mc^{2}        

So,    

6.626 \times 10^{-34} Js \times \nu = 1.638 \times 10^{-13} J

                           \nu = 1.236 \times 10^{20} Hz

Thus, we can conclude that the frequency is 1.236 \times 10^{20} Hz.

The silver nitrate in 20.00 mL of a certain solution was allowed to react with sodium chloride according to the following equati
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 0.1 M

Explanation:

data

Volume of AgNO3 = 20.00 ml

                   1000 ml --------------  1 l

                       20 ml --------------- x              

          x = 20x 1 /1000 = 0.02

AgCl = 0.2867 g

MW of AgCl = 35.45 + 107.9 = 143.35 g

                       143.35 g -------------- 1 mol

                       0.2867 g -------------  x

  x = 0.2867 x 1 / 143.35 = 0.002 moles of AgCl

   From the balance reaction we see that the proportion of AgNO3 to AgCl is 1:1, then

           1 mol of AgNO3 -------------------- 1 mol of AgCL

                 x                   ---------------------  0.002 moles of AgCl

 x = 0.002 moles of AgNO3

   This moles of AgNO3 are in 20 ml or 0.02 liters

So, Molarity = # moles/liter

      Molarity = 0.002 moles/ 0.02 = 0.1 M
