What was the major weakness of Wegener's theory of continental drift

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alik [6]3 years ago
6 0

Alfred Wegener proposed the continental drift theory  in four reasons. One, he hypothesized that the continents were once a giant continent. Two, he observed that there are fossils found of the same kind in the different locations. Three, he found that the edge of opposing continents somehow fits if they are combined, almost like a puzzle. And four, there are glacial scars that are left behind by a larger glacial continent. His greatest weakness of Alfred Wegeners’ continental drift theory was he could not explain what kind of force that caused this continents to move far from each other.

How does the temperature of the air cause a breeze to blow toward the land?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The warm air over the land will rise throughout the day, causing low pressure at the surface. Over the water, high surface pressure will form because of the colder air. ... The wind will blow from the higher pressure over the water to lower pressure over the land causing the sea breeze.

Convert 533 cm/s to units of meters per minute. Show the unit analysis by dragging the conversion factors into the unit‑factor s
lukranit [14]

Answer:

319.8 m/min

Explanation:

533 cm/s

We can convert 533 cm/s to m/min by doing the following:

First, we shall convert 533 cm/s to m/s. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Recall:

100 cm/s = 1 m/s

Therefore,

533 cm/s = 533 cm/s /100 cm/s × 1 m/s

533 cm/s = 5.33 m/s

Finally, we shall convert 5.33 m/s to m/min. This can be obtained as follow:

1 m/s = 60 m/min

Therefore,

5.33 m/s = 5.33 m/s / 1 m/s × 60 m/min

5.33 m/s = 319.8 m/min

Therefore, 533 cm/s is equivalent to 319.8 m/min

Nitrogen dioxide is produced by combustion in an automobile engine. For the following reaction, 0.377 moles of nitrogen monoxide
Contact [7]

Answer:

The amount of NO₂ that can be produced 8.533 g

Explanation:

       According to question

                                2 NO(g) + O₂(g) → 2 NO₂(g)

Given

Moles of nitrogen monoxide = 0.377

Moles of oxygen = 0.278

'For NO'=\frac{Mole}{Stoichiometry}=\frac{0.377}{2} =0.1855\\'For O_{2} '=\frac{0.278}{1}= 0.278\\

Since 'NO' is the limiting reagent according to this ratio.

According to equation

         2 moles NO reacts to form 2 moles NO₂

So,  0.1855 moles NO give  = 0.1855 moles of NO₂

            Mass of 1 mole NO₂ = 46 g/mole

            Mass of 0.1855 moles = 46 x 0.1855 = 8.533 g
