which part of earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that causes tectonic plates to move

Asthenosphere is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move because the material in this part of the mantle flows and can move plastically and convection is all about the movement of the magma,the hotter stuff rising towards the crust while the cooler stuff sinks deeper into the mantle.

Answer:

The mass of tin is 164 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Specific heat heat of tin = 0.222 J/g°C

The initial temeprature of tin = 80.0 °C

Mass of water = 100.0 grams

The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Initial temperature = 30.0 °C

The final temperature = 34.0 °C

Step 2: Calculate the mass of tin

Heat lost = heat gained

Qlost = -Qgained

Qtin = -Qwater

Q = m*c*ΔT

m(tin)*c(tin)*ΔT(tin) = -m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water)

⇒with m(tin) = the mass of tin = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with c(tin) = the specific heat of tin = 0.222J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(tin) = the change of temperature of tin = T2 - T1 = 34.0°C - 80.0°C = -46.0°C

⇒with m(water) = the mass of water = 100.0 grams

⇒with c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(water) = the change of temperature of water = T2 - T1 = 34.0° C - 30.0 °C = 4.0 °C

m(tin) * 0.222 J/g°C * -46.0 °C = -100.0g* 4.184 J/g°C * 4.0 °C

m(tin) =  163.9 grams ≈ 164 grams

The mass of tin is 164 grams

PLEASE HELP
Deffense [45]

The answer is A. Isotopes only differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus of their atoms. Otherwise, all other subatomic particles are the same. The isotope with the more neutrons in its nucleus is therefore, heavier (have higher mass number). They share the same chemical properties but have slight physical differences such as boiling points with the heavier element having a slightly higher boiling point that the lighter element.

Provide three different examples of how minerals can form on earth
Misha Larkins [42]
A mineral is a naturally occurring , solid, crystalline substance with a specific chemical composition. Minerals are usually inorganic and are formed by ionic, covalent or metallic bonding. Ionic bonds are the dominant type of bonds in mineral strictures. 90% of all minerals are ionic compounds. Minerals bonded by covalent bonds are strong, for example carbon bonded together to form diamond. Metallic bonds are a type of covalent bonds where the atoms have a strong tendency to lose electrons and pack together as cations.
