How are plate tectonics used as a working model to help explain features and processes on Earth? Furthermore, what is the eviden

Anika [276]

Answer:

Explained as below

Explanation:

Alfred Wegener was the first to highlight the theory of plate tectonics in world, and later on gave various evidence for the formation of plates that the shaped the earth landmass, the evidence he gave seemed to be quiet in accordance with his field of study called as the law of Uniformitarianism as the processes that operate today have been active in the past with varying intensities.

Evidence in the form of Gig zaw fit of two continent i.e the African coast with that of the South American coast that perfectly matches and which he believes to be part of the same Gondwanaland and northern part was Pangaea supercontinent.

Furthermore, the evidence of glossopteris flora where tends to found along with the lands bordering the two landmasses and faunal evidence of Lemure that tended to run westward are deposited in seabeds as evidence to the separation of to continents.

Another evidence of the similar type of glacial tracts found in various continents of the world has seen to emerge as a result of the carbon dating of rocks of that time.

The plate tectonic theory only applies to the rocky planets which have landmass to that of the earth i.e the terrestrial planets and not to the gaseous giants that are composed of the metallic core and high density of helium and hydrogen gases.

Currently, earth and few planets are considered to have water or liquid components and these too in icy forms like Saturn have rings of ice, ice on craters of the moon, etc.

You find a ring with a mass of 107 g. You fill a graduated cylinder up with 10 mL of water and put the ring into the cylinder. T

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

density of ring is = 21.4 g/cm³

Explanation:

From the formula;

Density = Mass/Volume

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

Density = 107g/5mL

Density = 21.4 g/mL

We need to convert this density to a more standard form of g/cm³.

From conversions;

1 g/mL = 1 g/cm³

Thus; density of ring = 21.4 g/cm³

Answer:

A. Ethiopian Highlands

Explanation:

With the triangle marking on this picture we have represented the Ethiopian Highlands. These highlands have formed relatively recently, geologically speaking, with the reason being the intense geological activity in this area that has gradually lifted up the area. These highlands are located on a newly formed divergent boundary, where part of the African continent is slowly moving away from the rest of it, in eastern direction. Because of this, it is an area where there's rift valleys, lot of earthquakes, as well as volcanic activity.
