Block mountains form along which type of geological landform?

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.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer : FCH_{2}CH_{2}F

Explanation : In the molecule of FCH_{2}CH_{2}F  the hydrogen bonding forces tend to resist any phase transition form liquid state to gaseous phase, and these hydrogen bonding forces are greater  usually when the hydrogen is bound to an electronegative atom like chlorine, fluorine,oxygen,etc. This then lowers the viscosity of the compound.

____ [38]
An exothermic reaction is one that releases energy from the system to its surroundings, usually in the form of heat, but also in the form of light, electricity, or sound. Since the water gives off heat, the temperature of the water should be lower, so the answer might be B) The thermometer will show a decrease in temp.

describe how the discoveries of scientist over time have contributed to our current understanding of atom
Olenka [21]

Answer:

In 1897, the British physicist J. J. Thomson (1856–1940) proved that atoms were not the most basic form of matter. He demonstrated that cathode rays could be deflected, or bent, by magnetic or electric fields, which indicated that cathode rays consist of charged particles (Figure  2.2.2 ). More important, by measuring the extent of the deflection of the cathode rays in magnetic or electric fields of various strengths, Thomson was able to calculate the mass-to-charge ratio of the particles. These particles were emitted by the negatively charged cathode and repelled by the negative terminal of an electric field. Because like charges repel each other and opposite charges attract, Thomson concluded that the particles had a net negative charge; these particles are now called electrons. Most relevant to the field of chemistry, Thomson found that the mass-to-charge ratio of cathode rays is independent of the nature of the metal electrodes or the gas, which suggested that electrons were fundamental components of all atoms.
