Layer of Earth made up of the crust and upper mantle: 1. lithosphere

long, underwater mountain ranges: 6. mid-ocean ridge

idea that the world's land masses are slowly moving over time: 9. continental drift

magnetic qualities "frozen" into rocks when they are formed showing the direction of the magnetic field at that time: 8. paleomagnetism

describes how Earth's plates move and what happens when they interact with each other: 10. plate tectonics

circulating flow of a gas or liquid due to density differences: 11. convection

force that pulls objects towards the Earth: 12. gravity

boundary where two tectonic plates are moving away from each other: 4. divergent boundary

boundary where two tectonic plates are moving towards each other or colliding: 3. convergent boundary

upper part of the mantle that is........ 2. asthenosphere

boundary where two tectonic plates move in opposite directions alongside each other: 5. transform boundary

place where one plate gets pushed under another plate: 14. subduction zone

deepest part of the ocean; steep-sided canyon: 7. ocean trench

super-continent made of all the continents that existed millions of years ago: 15. pangea

section of the lithosphere that slowly moves over the asthenosphere, carrying pieces of continental and oceanic crust: 13. tectonic plate

*numbers 10 and 13 are the same thing*

Why do water molecules and the materials dissolved in water move through the plasma membrane slowly ?

garik1379 [7]

Nonpolar and small polar molecules can pass through the cell membrane, so they diffuse across it in response to concentration gradients. Carbon dioxide and oxygen are two molecules that undergo this simple diffusion through the membrane. The simple diffusion of water is known as osmosis.

What is a planned goal of the Exploration Mission 2?

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

C. to explore the composition of Mars

Explanation:

Initially, in 2019, an unmanned mission is planned to orbit the moon. The spacecraft would flyby the moon. In 2020's, the Exploration Mission 2 would be a manned mission on the same path around the moon. This would be the base for future goal of collecting samples from mars. In later of 2020's unmanned spacecraft would be sent to mars and a robot would collect the samples from the Martian surface. In 2030's, a crew would be sent to Mars.

What characteristics do the elements in a group share? In a period, share?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The elements in same period have same principle quantum number or energy shell.

The elements in same group shows similar chemical and properties.

Explanation:

Inn group:

The elements in same group i.e present in vertical column shows similar chemical properties.

The elements in same group having same number of valance electrons. while in chemical reaction bonds are break and formed and valance electrons are involved. That's why elements in same group having same number of valance electrons and shows similar chemical properties.

In period:

While as we move from left to right the number of valance electron increase by one in every element. But the electron is added in same shell which means that their physical and chemical properties are different but principal quantum number is same.
