Block mountains form along which type of geological landform?

Chemistry
2 answers:

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.

What is the predominant intermolecular force between ibr molecules in liquid ibr?
jasenka [17]

Answer is: dispersion forces.

The London dispersion force is the weakest intermolecular force.

Dispersion force is also called an induced dipole-induced dipole attraction.

The London dispersion force (intermolecular force) is a temporary attractive force between molecules.

The dipole beetween iodine and bromine is weak.

How do electrons differ from protons and neutrons? A. They do not move. B. They are larger. C. They are not in a fixed position.
nikdorinn [45]
Hi!

Electrons are particles which basically 'orbit' around the nucleus. Protons and neutrons are condensed, in a fixed position inside the nucleus. 

With this in mind, the answer will be C.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

Can you show me the answer and explain?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

looking at a periodic table X is fluorine and Y is potassium

Fluorine is in group 7 and forms a 1- charge (which gains electrons) and potassium is in group 1 and forms a 1+ charge (which loses electrons)

Fluorine (X) has an electronic structure of 2,7 and needs to gain an electron from Potassium (Y) to have a full outer shell and potassium has an electronic structure of 2,8,8,1 so needs to lose an electron to have a full outer shell as well. This means that the electron that potassium (Y) has lost is given away to fluorine (X), so both elements become stable.

This is known as ionic bonding where metals (like potassium) lose electrons and non-metals (like fluorine) gain electrons to become more stable, forming ions

Any further clarification let me know
