What geologic action may produce a chain of volcanic islands

Chemistry
2 answers:
Vaselesa [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a hot spot

Explanation:

Volcanic island chains are formed independently of the movements of tectonic plates. They are found above the hot spots caused by the mantle. Currents of hot materials from the mantle pierce a path through the crust, creating a chain of hot spot volcanoes. They form volcanoes that produce highly fluid lava that build the flat volcanoes of the shield. Example: Mauna loa, Hawaii.

The chains of volcanic islands can be found mostly alongside the borders of the convergent plate boundaries, more specifically, on the convergent boundaries between an oceanic and continental tectonic plates. That can easily be seen by the so called ''Ring of Fire'' where there's numerous chains of volcanic islands

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The larger electronegative oxygen atom strips the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton to dissociate.

Explanation:

Water is a molecule composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms that forms a covalent bond i.e. share electrons. However, due to the fact that the oxygen atom in a water molecule is more electronegative than the hydrogen molecule, it tends to draw electrons towards itself, leaving the hydrogen atom more positive. This causes the POLARITY of water.

To ionize means for the atoms of a compound to dissociate into electrically charged ions (positive and negative) in an aqeous solution. Water is able to ionize because the more electronegative oxygen atom draws the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton (H+) to dissociate.

Describe a second degree burn ​
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Second-degree burns, or partial thickness burns, are more severe than first-degree burns. They affect the outer layer of skin, called the epidermis, and part of the second layer of skin, called the dermis. Second-degree burns can be very painful and often take several weeks to heal.

At 850K, 65L of gas has a pressure of 450kPa. What is the volume (in liters) if the gas is cooled to 430K and the pressure decre
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

V₂ =  45.53 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial temperature = 850 K

Initial volume = 65 L

Initial pressure = 450 KPa

Final temperature = 430 K

Final pressure = 325 KPa

Final volume = ?

Solution:

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂  

V₂ = 450 KPa× 65 L × 430 K / 850 K × 325KPa  

V₂ = 12577500 KPa .L. K / 276250 K. KPa

V₂ =  45.53 L
