In ridge push, the mantle wells upward because of the convection and elevates the edges of spreading oceanic plates. Because these plates are higher at the spreading center, they are forced downhill due to <em>gravity</em> and eventually flatten out to the ocean floor.

One of the main driving force for tectonic plate motion is gravity.

The subduction is the process where under gravity the oceanic lithosphere dives beneath another plate and thats how one plate meets another plate.This sink of oceanic lithosphere is responsible for dragging of rest of the tectonic plates. This is how the plates move.

Match each element to the number of electrons in its valence shell.
irinina [24]

Answer:

C: 4

H: 1

Mg: 2

O : 6

Explanation:

You can quickly find out the number of valence electrons by looking at where the element is on the periodic table and referring to the table that is attached.

Equilibrium describes the balance that results from a forward and reverse reaction proceeding at equal rates. Since reaction rat
Delvig [45]

Answer:

b) the reaction proceeds to a new equilibrium in the direction that offsets the change.

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, when a system experiences a constraint such as a change in pressure, temperature or concentration, the system will readjust itself in order to annul the constraint.

This simply means that when temperature, concentration or pressure is changed, a new equilibrium position is reached in order to offset the changes in the system.

Which statement below matches the correct response with the proper reasoning when comparing the volatility of CH2Cl2 with CH2Br2
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

b. CH₂Cl₂ is more volatile than CH₂Br₂ because of the large dispersion forces in CH₂Br₂

Explanation:

CH₂Cl₂ is more volatile than CH₂Br₂ (b.p of CH₂Cl₂ = 39,6 °C; b.p of CH₂Br₂ = 96,95°C). Thus, c. and d. are FALSE

Dipole-dipole interactions in CH₂Cl₂ are greater than the dipole-dipole interactions in CH₂Br₂ because Cl is more electronegative that Br (Cl = 3,16; Br = 2,96). But this mean CH₂Cl₂ is less volatile than CH₂Br₂ but it is false.

There are large dispersion forces in CH₂Br₂ because Br has more electrons and protons than Cl. Large disperson forces mean CH₂Br₂ is less volatile than CH₂Cl₂ and it is true.

I hope it helps!
