Which of the following describes the boundaries created by earth's tectonic systems

Chemistry

Dvinal [7]3 years ago

The earth's plates usually move in three different ways resulting in three different types of plate margins/ boundaries: CONVERGENT, DIVERGENT and TRANSFORM plate boundaries.

When plates move towards each other, they collide and this usually either results in the denser of the plates sliding below the other plate or both plates pushing against each other resulting in both plates being pushed upwards to form often times Fold Mountains.  This type of earth tectonics causes a CONVERGENT (destructive; because the collision of the plates results in loss of earth surface area) plate boundary to be formed.

Plates can also pull away from each other and in so doing creating space usually in the form of a fissure between the two moving plates. This fissure usually also for molten earth (magma) rising to the surface and closing the opening between the plates.  This type of earth tectonic is known to form DIVERGENT (constructive; because it usually results in new land being formed) plate margins.

Plates also slide against each other (side to side) thus not resulting in neither the destruction or creation of new land.  This kind of plate margin is known as the TRANSFORM plate boundary.


The diagram below helps to solidify the points made above.

A molecule has sp2 hybridization with 1 lone pair.... The electron pair geometry of this molecule is: ... The geometry of this m
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The electron pair geometry is Trigonal planar

Molecular geometry - Bent

Approximate bond angle - <120°

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory enables us to predict the shapes of molecules based on the number of electron pairs present on the valence shell of the central atom and based on the hybridization state of the central atom.

sp2 hybridization corresponds to trigonal planar geometry. Let us recall that the presence of lone pairs causes a deviation of the molecular geometry from the expected geometry based on the number of electron pairs.

Hence, owing to one lone pair present, the observed molecular geometry is bent.

The volume of a gas at 2.0 atm is 3.0 L. What is the volume of the gas at 1.5 atm at the same temperature?
Andru [333]

<u>Answer:</u> The final volume of the gas comes out to be 4 L.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the volume with changing pressure, we use the equation given by Boyle's law.

This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

Mathematically,

P\propto \frac{1}{V}      (At constant temperature and number of moles)

The equation given by this law is:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1\text{ and }V_1 are initial pressure and volume.

P_2\text{ and }V_2 are final pressure and volume.

We are given:

P_1=2.0atm\\V_1=3L\\P_2=1.5atm\\V_2=?L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

2atm\times 3L=1.5atm\times V_2\\\\V_2=4L

Hence, the final volume of the gas will be 4 L.
