Match the type of boundary with its characteristic.

olga_2 [115]

At Divergent boundary, Crust is created.

At Convergent boundary, Crust is destroyed.

At Transform boundary, Crust is neither created nor destroyed.

<h3>What occurs at Divergent, Convergent and Transform boundary?</h3>

A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. At this boundary, new oceanic crust is created.

Convergent boundaries are those boundaries where two plates are pushing into each other. These boundaries are pushing one of the plates under the other and back into the mantle to melt.

Transform boundaries are places where plates slide sideways past each other. At this boundary, Crust is neither created nor destroyed.

HELP!

The radiations detected by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson
were the original heat from the Big Bang.

Today, we call those waves the "Cosmic Microwave Background".

I'm not sure, but I think those guys were awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics
for that discovery.

A stone is tied to a 0.85-meter cord. it is swung in a circle at a constant rate of 6.0 m/s. what is the centripetal acceleratio

Andrei [34K]

Answer:42.4m/s^2

Explanation:

Velocity(v)=6m/s

Radius(r)=0.85 meter

Centripetal acceleration=(v x v) ➗ r

Centripetal acceleration=(6 x 6) ➗ 0.85

Centripetal acceleration=36 ➗ 0.85

Centripetal acceleration=42.4

Indigenous people sometimes cooked in watertight baskets by placing enough hot rocks into the water to bring it to a boil. What

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The rock has a mass of 4.02 kg

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the rock = TO BE DETERMINED

Temperature of the rock = 500 °C

Mass of the water =4.24 kg

⇒ loses 0.044kg as vapor

Initial temperature of the water = 29°C

Final temperature = 100°C

Specific heat of rock = 0.20 kcal/kg °C

Specific heat of water = 1kcal/kg°C

Latent heat of vaporization = 539 kcal/kg

Step 2: formules

Qlost,rock + Qgained,water = 0

Qtotal,water = Qwater +Qvapor

Step 3: Calculate Qvapor

Qvapor = mass of vapor * Latent heat of vapor

Qvapor = 0.044kg * 539 kcal/kg = 23.716 kcal

Step 4: Calculate Qwater

Qwater = mass of water * specific heat * Δtemperature

Qwater = 4.196 kg * 1kcal/kg°C *( 100-29)

Qwater = 297.916 kcal

Step 5: Calculate Qwater,total

Qwater,total = Qwater + Qvapor

Qwater,total = 23.716 kcal + 297.916 = 321.632 kcal

Step 6: Calculate Qrock

Qrock = mass of rock * specific heat rock * Δtemperature

Qrock = mass of rock * 0.20 kcal/kg°C * (100-500)

Qrock = mass of rock * -80 kcal/kg

Step 7: Calculate mass of rock

Qlost,rock + Qgained,water = 0

Qlost,rock = -Qgained,water

mass of rock * -80 kcal/kg = -321.632 kcal

mass of rock = 4.02 kg

The rock has a mass of 4.02 kg
