Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Diamond is the hardest of all the minerals. According to Mohr's hardness scale, it has a hardness of 10. The carbon atoms in diamond are shared by a strong covalent bond. They are formed in the mantle at a depth of about 150 km and beyond that, where the temperature and pressure condition is extremely high. These diamonds are carried to the near-surface region with the help of kimberlite pipes due to the deep volcanic eruption that is initiated. Diamonds are very expensive because they are formed at huge depth and their cost of extraction is really high. They are very rare so they are really valuable.

Thus, diamonds are used as a gem because of their hard and adamantine luster.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

A DNA sample contains 30% cytosine. What percentage of the sample would be thymine?

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

30% Thymine

Explanation:

If 30% of Adenine is present, it would be reasonable to assume that 30% of Thymine will be present, as the ratio between the two complementary nitrogenous bases will be roughly equal.

Therefore, that leaves us with 40% between Cytosine and Guanine. Since the ratio between them would be equal, it gives us 20% of Cytosine and 20% of Guanine.

Therefore:

30% of A + 30% of T + 20% of C + 20% of G = 100% DNA

Normally, what is the concentration of solutes in your brain cells?

kow [346]

Normally, the concentration of solutes in our brain cells would be the same as the concentration of the cerebrospinal fluid. Thus, they form an isotonic solution.

Can any any one help?

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

x=-5

Explanation:

2/3x-1/2=1/3+5/6

Two thirds x is equal to four sixths x.

4/6x-1/2=1/3+5/6x

Subtract 4/6x from both sides.

-1/2=1/3+1/6x

Make sure -1/2 and 1/3 have a common denominator before subtracting 1/3 from both sides.

-3/6=1/3+1/6x

-5/6=1/6x

Multiply both sides by six to get x.

x=-5

Select the landforms that one would expect to find a divergent boundary. Folded Mountains Rift Valley Mid-Ocean Ridge Deep Sea T

Luden [163]

The answers would be:

Rift Valley

Mid-Ocean Ridge

New oceanic crust

Here is why:

A divergent boundary is a boundary where two plates are moving apart. (You should remember this so you have an idea about what is formed)

A rift valley is formed when two continental plates (These are plates on land) pull apart, creating a rift in the middle. They are literally ripped apart.

The mid-ocean ridge was formed when oceanic plates moved apart. This also leads use to the new oceanic crust part.

Now when oceanic plates move apart, this leaves space for magma, from beneath the Earth's crust, to occupy and rise. When it goes out through the opening, it is cooled by the water on the surface, so it hardens and becomes new oceanic crust. This goes on and on and this is also how we can explain, seafloor spreading.

*You might be wondering about the Deep Sea Trench. The deep see trench is created by subduction which occurs in convergent boundaries. The trench is the point where the other plate slides under the other. So this is NOT a divergent boundary formation.
