Hello,


Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Those forces are convection and gravity.


Convection describes the movement of gasses or liquids due to different temperatures. The convection currents just beneath Earth's crust flow very slowly, causing movement in the plates above them. These currents are different with the fact that they produce different plate movements. Ridge push occurs from the convection currents in the ocean. These occur at mid-ocean ridges, which are elevated higher than the rest of the ocean floor. In contrary, convection causes material in the mantle to flow. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.

C. perfringens is found greatly in the environment in soil, rotting greenery and marine sediment, as well as in the intestinal tract of creatures. The bacteria can create endospores, apt of surviving adverse conditions for long periods of time.

<h3>What type of food poisoning is Clostridium perfringens?</h3>

Clostridium perfringens food poisoning is critical gastroenteritis induced by ingestion of contaminated food. Signs are watery diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Diagnosis is by identifying C. perfringens in infected food or in stool.

Thus, Clostridium perfringens food poisoning is critical gastroenteritis caused by ingestion of contaminated food.

What conclusions can be drawn about the existence of carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14? A) These are forms of carbon and they
Kryger [21]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

All these carbon atoms are isotopes: they have the same amount of protons (in this case, 6 because carbon always has 6 protons) and the same amount of electrons (6 because the carbons given have a neutral charge).

Therefore, the only thing we are changing is the atomic mass and the amount of neutrons present in each isotope.

In Carbon-12, there are 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons.

In Carbon-13, there are 6 protons, 7 neutrons, and 6 electrons.

In Carbon-14, there are 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and 6 electrons.

¿Qué se puede agregar a un átomo para hacer que un electrón sin valencia en el átomo se convierta temporalmente en un electrón d
NNADVOKAT [17]

Energía.

Explicación:

Generalmente, los electrones giran continuamente en las capas de los átomos. Si estos electrones se encuentran en las capas más externas de un átomo, se denominan electrones de valencia.

Son necesarios para las reacciones químicas de un átomo en particular con otro, a través de sus pérdidas o compartidas.

En los átomos sin valencia, sus capas más externas no tienen electrones en sus capas más externas, tales átomos son estables.

Sin embargo, si se suministra cierta cantidad de energía a dicho átomo, el electrón gana energía y, por lo tanto, se excita.

Por lo tanto, se mueven de niveles de energía más bajos a niveles de energía más altos, y hacen que el átomo sin valencia se convierta en valencia temporalmente, a medida que se mueven hacia la capa más externa.

Answer:

Energy.

Explanation:

Generally, electrons revolves continuously in the shells of  atoms.if these electrons are located in the outer most shells of an atom,they are refereed to as the Valence electrons.

They are needed for chemical reactions of a particular atom with another,through their loses or sharing.

In Non -valence atoms their outermost shells do not have electrons at their outermost shells,such atoms are stable.

However, if  certain quantity of energy is supplied  to  such atom, the electron  gains energy and therefore becomes excited.

They therefore move from lower energy levels to higher energy levels,and makes the non- valence atom becomes valence temporarily, as they move into the outermost shell.
