Ivenika [448]3 years ago

Answer:

As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense. The less-dense material rises, often forming a mountain or elevated area of the seafloor. Eventually, the crust cracks.

What is the Earth's speed as it travels around the Sun? (site 1)
rewona [7]

Answer: The speed of the earth as it travels around the sun is 67,000 m / ph (107,000 km / h).

Explanation:

The orbit around the sun forms an ellipse and it takes approximately 365.25 days to fully around the orbit, because of that on earth the seasons are experienced throughout the year, as the earth recedes or gets closer to the sun. In addition to the orbit around the sun, the earth rotates on its own axis in about 24 hours giving rise to day and night.

I hope this information can help you.

5x+2y=-11 and 2x+2y=5​
Lisa [10]

Answer:

x=-16/3 and y =47/6

Explanation:

Subtract the 2 equations to eliminate the variable y

2x+2y=5​

-(5x+2y=-11)

---------------

-3x=16

Divide by -3 on both sides

x= -16/3

Plug -16/3 in for x in the first equation to find y

2x+2y=5

2(-16/3)+2y=5

Multiply

-32/3+2y=5

Add 32/3 to both sides

2y=47/3

Divide both sides by 2

y=47/6

x=-16/3 and y =47/6

Hope this helps! :)
