What forms when two continental plates collide?

1 answer:

8 0

When tectonic plates collide, this is a convergent plate boundary.
When the two plates at a convergent boundary are continental, they form mountains and mountain ranges.

Hope this helps! :)

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:

Original Question: C₂H₅OH + __O₂ → __CO₂ + __ H₂O

To balance this equation:

⇒ must ensure that there is an equal number of elements on both sides of the equation at all times

Let's start balancing:

On the left side of the equation, there are 2 carbon molecule

⇒ but only so far one on the right side

C₂H₅OH + __O₂ → 2CO₂ + __ H₂O

On the left side of the equation, there are 6 hydrogen molecules

⇒ but only so far two on the right side

C₂H₅OH + __O₂ → 2CO₂ + 3H₂O

On the right side of the equation, there are 7 oxygen molecules

⇒ but only so far three on the left side

C₂H₅OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 3H₂O

Let's check and make sure we got the answer:

C₂H₅OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 3H₂O

2 Carbon ⇔ 2 Carbon

6 Hydrogen ⇔ 6 Hydrogen

7 Oxygen ⇔ 7 oxygen

Thefore the coefficients in order are:

⇒ 1, 3, 2, 3

Answer: 1,3,2,3

Hope that helps!

Compared to Jupiter, Saturn's atmosphere is more uniform with no significant variation in color in the lower cloud levels. much

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Compared to Jupiter, Saturn's atmosphere is more calm with fewer disturbances or storms.

The Atmosphere in Jupiter is highly violent and thinner as compared with Saturn.

The layers of atmosphere on Saturn is thicker because of lower gravity of Saturn and hence they are calmer.

Answer:

B. Ecosystem B, because its high species diversity could have resulted from increased competition among its members.

Explanation:

This is because, in the ecosystem with varying level of biodiversity, Ecosystem B has medium level of species diversity found in them with High medium level of habitat diversity which causes increasing competitions among them.

Suppose that a wind is blowing in the direction S45°E at a speed of 30 km/h. A pilot is steering a plane in the direction N60°E

Kay [80]

Answer:

The true course: $40.29^\circ$ north of east

The ground speed of the plane: 96.68 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

$V_w$ = velocity of wind = $30\ km/h\ S45^\circ E = (30\cos 45^\circ\ \hat{i}-30\sin 45^\circ\ \hat{j})\ km/h = (21.21\ \hat{i}-21.21\ \hat{j})\ km/h$

$V_p$ = velocity of plane in still air = $100\ km/h\ N60^\circ E = (100\cos 60^\circ\ \hat{i}+100\sin 60^\circ\ \hat{j})\ km/h = (50\ \hat{i}+86.60\ \hat{j})\ km/h$

Assume:

$V_r$ = resultant velocity of the plane

$\theta$ = direction of the plane with the east

Since the resultant is the vector addition of all the vectors. So, the resultant velocity of the plane will be the vector sum of the wind velocity and the plane velocity in still air.

$\therefore V_r = V_p+V_w\\\Rightarrow V_r = (50\ \hat{i}+86.60\ \hat{j})\ km/h+(21.21\ \hat{i}-21.21\ \hat{j})\ km/h\\\Rightarrow V_r = (71.21\ \hat{i}+65.39\ \hat{j})\ km/h$

Let us find the direction of this resultant velocity with respect to east direction:

$\theta = \tan^{-1}(\dfrac{65.39}{71.21})\\\Rightarrow \theta = 40.29^\circ$

This means the the true course of the plane is in the direction of $40.29^\circ$ north of east.

The ground speed will be the magnitude of the resultant velocity of the plane.

$\therefore Magnitude = \sqrt{71.21^2+65.39^2} = 96.68\ km/h$

Hence, the ground speed of the plane is 96.68 km/h.
