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.

bija089 [108]

Answer:

Volume is often measured numerically using the International System of Units (SI unit), the cubic meter. for example volume of a cube is measured using a cubic centimeter (cm3), the metric system includes the liter (L) as a unit of volume, where one liter is the volume of a 10-centimeter cube.

The elements C and Se have the same electronegativity value, 2.55. Which of the following claims about the compound that forms f
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Having the same electronegativity means that the both elements will form a nonpolar bond. The shared electrons of the bind will be found equidistant from the nucleus of the two atoms because none has an unusual ability to attract the electrons of a bond towards itself.

Calculate the energy required to melt 21 g of ice at 0 oC.
vladimir1956 [14]

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of ice = 21 grams

The ice is already at 0°c, the temperature at which it melts to form water

Molar heat of fusion of Ice = 6.02 kJ/mol

<u>Finding the energy required:</u>

<u>Number of moles of Ice: </u>

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Number of moles = given mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 21 / 18 = 7/6 moles

<u>Energy required to melt the given amount of ice:</u>

Energy = number of moles * molar heat of fusion

Energy = (7/6) * (6.02)

Energy = 7.02 kJ OR 7020 joules

what's the density of an element if a sample has a mass of 43.2 g and a volume of 96.5 mL. (0.45 g/mL)
lisov135 [29]
To find the answer you need to use the formula that will help you to find the density. Density = mass/volume
d = 43.2g/96.5mL = 0.45g/mL
