<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The correct option is</u><u> (B)mantle convection</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Tectonic plates at the earth's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core. this heat causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell and producing a movement called mantle convection which is the slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate.

The old rubber boot has two leaks. The top of the boot is 0.3 m higher than the leaks. What is the velocity of the water coming
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Leak 1 = 3.43 m/s

Leak 2 = 2.42 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the top of the boot is 0.3 m higher than the leaks. 

Let height H = 0.3m and the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

From the figure, the angle of the leak 1 will be approximately equal to 45 degrees. While the leak two can be at 90 degrees.

Using the third equation of motion under gravity, we can calculate the velocity of leak 1 and 2

Which of the following compounds is not likely to have ionic bonds? Question 5 options: LiF NaCl CH4 MgF2
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

CH4

Explanation:

CH4 is joined together by a covalent bond, aka a bond between two non-metals. Non-metals are found on the right side of the periodic table and include Carbon (C) and Hydrogen. Although Hydrogen is technically on the left side of the table, it has the characteristics of a non-metal. Futhermore, Ionic bonds generally are between an element on the right joined with an element on the left. This is because ionic bonds want charges that will cancel out to create a neutral molecule.

example: LiF

Li→ Li+

F→F-

(Li+)+(F-)=charges cancel out.
