Answer:

Uplifting process

Explanation:

<u>The process of rising up of rock layers is known as the uplift</u>. This uplifting of rock strata takes place due to certain reasons. They are as follows-

1) When hot intruding magma comes towards the surface, it lifts the rocks upward. This takes place both underwater on the ocean floor and on the land. Below the ocean, these hot magma forced to come out along the mid-oceanic ridge and on the land areas, it gives rise to the formation of volcanoes.

2) Due to the compressive forces, uplifting takes place forming the mountains and mountain ranges.

3) Domes are also formed that causes uplift due to the pressure exerted by magma.

Answer:

$C_2H_6O$

Explanation:

The first step is the <u>calculation of the moles</u> of $H_2O$ and $CO_2$ , so:

$114.6~g~CO_2\frac{1~mol~CO_2}{44~g~CO_2}=2.6~mol~of~CO_2$

$70.44~g~H_2O\frac{1~mol~H_2O}{18~g~H_2O}=~3.9~mol~H_2O$

Now, in 1 mol of CO2 we have 1 mol of C and in 1 mol of $H_2O$ we have 1 mol of H. Additionally, if we want to calculate the moles of oxygen we need to <u>calculate the grams of C and O</u> and then do the <u>substraction</u> form the initial amount, so:

$2.6~mol~CO_2\frac{1~mol~C}{1~mol~CO_2}\frac{12~g~C}{1~mol~C}=31.25~g~of~C$

$3.9~mol~H_2O\frac{2~mol~H}{1~mol~H_2O}\frac{1~g~H}{1~mol~H}=7.82~g~of~H$

$Total~grams=~31.25~+~7.82=39.08~g$

$grams~of~O=60.00~g-~39.08~g=20.92~g~of~O$

Now we can <u>convert the grams</u> of O to moles, so:

$20.92~g~of~O\frac{1~mol~O}{16~g~O}=1.30~mol~O$

The next step is to divide all the mol values by the <u>smallest one</u>:

$O=\frac{1.30~mol~O}{1.30~mol~O}=~1$

$C=\frac{2.6~mol~C}{1.30~mol~O}=~2$

$H=\frac{7.82~mol~H}{1.30~mol~O}=6$

Therefore the formula is $C_2H_6O$

In which way would a drought affect how rodents get their energy?

love history [14]

Answer:

<h3>When a drought occurs, their food supply can shrink and their habitat can be damaged. ... Losses or destruction of fish and wildlife habitat. Lack of food and drinking water for wild animals. Increase in disease in wild animals, because of reduced food and water supplies.</h3><h3>While insects and cacti might provide a meagre supply of water, most desert animals survive by being what Price calls "water misers". ... To perform this feat, they have evolved specialized kidneys with extra microscopic tubules for extracting water from urine.</h3>

Explain the composition of dna nucleotides and the structure of the dna molecule need help

Kaylis [27]

A nucleotide is composed of a phosphate group, sugar, and nitrogen base. DNA is made of 2 strands of nucleotides linked together by covalent bonds between the phosphate and sugar of each nucleotide. The strands of nucleotides are linked together by hydrogen bonds creating DNA. Hope this helps and sorry if I made a mistake.
