Answer:

The sediments accumulating on and around mid-ocean ridges are mostly formed from the calcareous and siliceous tests of pelagic organisms. This research is concerned with understanding how the rate of sediment supply varies from place to place due to varied productivity of pelagic organisms, how the sediments accumulate on the complex topography of a mid-ocean ridge, and with using the sediments to study mid-ocean ridge processes such as faulting and volcanism.

Sediment transport and accumulation

When pelagic materials reach the seafloor, they are redistributed by bottom currents and by sedimentary flows. This work studied the form of the accumulation using sediment profiler records collected with a Deep Tow system from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography deployed over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the early 1970s. The records showed that both sets of transport processes are important. The shapes of deposits were studied to see to what extent they conform to the diffusion transport model - many deposits have parabolic surfaces, which are the steady state forms expected from the diffusion transport model under boundary conditions of constant input or output flux to basins.

Which term best describes this reaction? 2 carbons double bonded to each other, with CH 3 above the left C and H above the right

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

addition polymerization

Explanation:

In addition polymerization, the monomers are simply joined to each other to form a polymer having the same empirical formula as the monomer but of higher relative molecular mass. The monomers in addition polymerization are usually simple unsaturated molecules such as alkenes.

We can deduce the reaction to be an addition polymerization because of the the attachment of n to both the unsaturated monomer and the saturated polymer without the loss of any small molecule. If it was a condensation polymerization, there would have been an accompanying loss of a small molecule such as water.

The metal tantalum becomes superconducting at temperatures below 4.483 K. Calculate the temperature at which tantalum becomes su

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is "-268.667°C".

Explanation:

Given:

Temperature,

= 4.483 K (below)

Now,

The formula of temperature conversion will be:

⇒ $T(^{\circ} C)=T(K)-273.15$

By putting the values, we get

⇒ $=4.483-273.15$

⇒ $=-268.667^{\circ} C$

Thus the above is the correct answer.

What does temperature indirectly measure? 1)Sound 2)Thermometers 3)Chemical Reactions 4)Heat

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Heat

Explanation:

Temperature is the average thermal energy (or heat) in a substance. Sound isn't really related, thermometers measure temperature, and chemical reactions can produce heat, but none of those are measured by temperature.

Why is it important to note the temperature when determining the density of a substance?

Andru [333]

It is important to take note of th temperature in determining the density of a substance because this will set as a basis and will likely be a variable in the experiment because this will also contribute on the effects of the experiment and a basis of how the experiment has turned to be that way.
