Explain how the processes that occur at mid-ocean ridges and ocean trenches illustrate the cycling of matter.

Explanation:

At one end, new crusts are being produced, at other end the crust is being destroyed and this strikes a unique balance.

At the mid-ocean ridges, the lithospheric plates are diverging. This is implies that the earth is pulling apart here. When the earth is pulling apart, new materials from the asthenosphere comes to the surface thereby creating new lithospheric plate.

As new plates are formed, they push back against the old one. New plates are found very close to the margin and it begins to age away from the margin.

On the other end, old plates are taken away from this center to ocean trenches. At oceanic trenches subduction is occurring.

In a subduction, the lithospheric plate plunges deep into the asthenosphere where they are being melted back.

This is a covergent margin.

This process continues in a dynamic manner to cycle matter on earth.

Which forces are intramolecular and which intermolecular?
AleksAgata [21]

Butter won't melt in a fridge because of intermolecular tensions. While the bonds inside of the fat molecules are unbroken, the attractions between the fat molecules are weaker.

What intermolecular forces are present in butter?

The intermolecular forces known as London dispersion forces are the weakest and are most prominent in hydrocarbons. Due to the fact that butter molecules are hydrocarbons, London dispersion forces do exist between them.

How do intermolecular forces affect melting?

More energy is required to stop the attraction between these molecules as the intermolecular forces become more powerful. Because of this, rising intermolecular forces are accompanied with rising melting points.

Which forces are intramolecular and which are intermolecular?

Intramolecular forces are those that hold atoms together within molecules. The forces that hold molecules together are known as intermolecular forces.
