What does this rising heat and resulting convection cycle do to our rigid lithosphere
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The movement of heat by convection in the asthenosphere causes the rock of the mantle to slowly move in huge streams. ... As the rock of the asthenosphere moves in different directions, it carries parts of the lithosphere along with it. The lithospheric rock can't stretch, so it breaks into pieces--forming the plates.

Iron has a density of 7.87 g/cm^3. What volume would 12.5 g of iron occupy?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 1.59 cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density} \\

From the question

mass = 12.5 g

density = 7.87 g/cm³

We have

volume =  \frac{12.5}{7.87}  \\  = 1.588310038...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.59 cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you
