What is the best description of a convergent boundary? (Do they move towards eachother, side by side past each other, away from

each other, or are they attracted to each other by gravity)
Physics

Convergent boundaries move towards each other. They can be classified as continental-continental, or oceanic-continental.

Oceanic-Continental: Heavier oceanic plate slides under a continental plate in a process called subduction.

Continental-Continental: Tectonic plates push up against each other and often fold upwards, creating mountain ranges.

Why is an iron bolt attracted to a magnet?
icang [17]

Answer:

A. When it is in a magnetic field, it becomes a temporary magnet.

Explanation:

An iron bolt is attracted to a magnet because when in a magnetic field, the iron becomes a temporary magnet.

This is because the iron aligns their electrons in the magnetic fields.

  • This causes that attraction between the magnet and the iron.
  • Metals like iron are said to be ferromagnetic
  • Unpaired electrons in iron spin in such a way that they align with the magnetic fields of the magnet.

A person using an oxygen mask is breathing air that is 33% oxygen. what is the partial pressure of the o2, when the air pressure
yawa3891 [41]
The partial pressure of the O2 is 36.3 kiloPascal when the air pressure in the mask is 110 kiloPascal based on the isotherm relation. This problem can be solved by using the isotherm relation equation which stated as Vx/Vtot = px/ptot, where V represents volume, p represents the pressure, x represents the partial gas, and tot represents the total gas<span>. Calculation: 33/100 = px/110 --> px = 36.3</span>
