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.

How would you prepare 100 ml of 0.4 M MgSO4 from a stock solution of 2 M MgSO4?
miss Akunina [59]
OK, so to answer this question, you will simply use the molality equation which is as follows:
<span>M1V1 = M2V2 
In the givens you have:
M1 = 2M
V1 is the unknown
M2 = 0.4M
V2 = 100 ml

</span>plug in the givens in the above equation:
<span>2 x V1 = 0.4 x 100 
</span>therefore:
V1 = 20 ml

Based on this: you should take 20 ml of the 2 M solution and make volume exactly 100 ml in a volumetric flask by diluting in water.

At what height above the earth surface will the gravitational acceleration be 5m
slamgirl [31]

Answer: -

The acceleration due to gravity at height r = a = GM/r²

Rearranging

r² = GM /a

= (6.674 x 10⁻¹¹ x 5.972 x 10²⁴ ) / 5

r = 8.917 x 10⁶ m

r = 8917 Km

Now Radius of earth = 6371 Km

So height = 8917 - 6371 = 2546 Km
