Chemistry

Answer:

A. Fault blocks

Explanation:

The block mountains are formed by pieces of the crust that breaks down and pieces are pushed up by the movement of the crust around them.  These type of mountains usually have a steep and a slope side, due to the irregular nature of the fracture.  Example of such mountains are the Sierra Nevada mountains in North-America.

<u>They're not caused by the collision of two tectonic plates</u>, like most of the mountains of our planet.

Answer: A. fault blocks

Explanation: Fault-block Mountains - Fault-block mountains are formed along fault lines (the edge between plates).

The huge chunks of rock on either side of the fault are called fault blocks. As the tectonic plates

move, some of the fault blocks are pushed up, while others are pushed down. This difference in

elevation (height) forms fault block mountains. The Sierra Nevada Mountains in the western United

States are fault-block mountains.

How do you explain the relatively high conductivity of tap water compared to a low or zero conductivity for distilled water?
gladu [14]
Tap water contains many dissolved ions that are required to carry an electric current, whilst distilled water contains no or relatively low amounts of dissolved ions. the absence of ions in the distilled water accounts for the low to zero conductivity of the water

hope that helps!

500.0 mL of a gas is collected at 745.0 mm Hg. what what will the volume be at standard pressure
Irina-Kira [14]
This is an application of Boyle's law:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂. we don't have to convert volume and pressure to standard forms. we can even use the pressure with mmHg
1 atm = 760 mmHg 
V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂ = 745 x 500 / 760 = 490 ml
Note that here we assume constant temperature
