Answer: Variations in temperatures inside Earth forces the plates to move.

Explanation: I'm not 100% sure if this is correct but from what I've read in my book it should be the answer.

Answer:

Uniform temperature inside earth forces the plates move.

Explanation:

The movements carried out by the tectonic plates occur due to the high temperatures existing inside the Earth.

The Earth's crust is located on the mantle, a layer of Earth composed of magma. The intense heat causes the circular movement of the mantle in convection currents. This convective movement transfers heat from the core (the Earth's innermost layer) to the outermost layers, causing the plates to move, leading to the junction or separation of the continents.

Naddik [55]

Answer: 240ohms

Explanation: P=IV

P=60watts

I=0.5A

V=120volts

From ohms law

V=IR

R=V/I

R=120/0.5

R= 240ohms

The Pony Express
Chapter 1
At A Nation's Crisis
The Pony Express was the first rapid transit and the first fost mail line across the continent from the Missouri River to the Pacific Coast. It was a system
by means of which messages were carried swiftly on horseback across the plains and deserts, and over the mountains of the far West It brought the
Adontic coost and the Pacific slope ten days nearer to each other.
It had a brief existence of only sixteen months and was supplanted by the transcontinental telegraph. Yet it was of the greatest importance in
binding the East and West together at a time when overland travel was slow and cumbersome, and when a great national crisis made the rapid
communication of news between these sections an imperative necessity.
The Pony Express marked the highest development in overland travel prior to the coming of the Pacific railroad, which it preceded nine years.
It, in fact, proved the feasibility of a transcontinental road and demonstrated that such a line could be built and operated continuously the year
around-a feat that had always been regarded as impossible.
The operation of the Pony Express was a supreme achievement of physical endurance on the part of man and his ever faithful companion, the
horse. The history of this organization should be a lasting monument to the physical sacrifice of man and beast in an effort to accomplish
something worthwhile. Its history should be an enduring tribute to American courage and American organizing genius.

What the density of an object that has a volume of 20ml and mass of 3g.​
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The equation of D = m/V

Where D = density

m = mass

and V = volume

We are solving for V, so with the manipulation of variables we multiply V on both sides giving us  

V(D) = m  

now we divide D on both sides giving us

V = m/D  

We know our mass which is 600g and our density is 3.00 g/cm^3

so

V = 600g/3.00g/cm^3 = 200cm^3  or 200mL

a cubic centimeter (cm^3) is one of the units for volume. It's exactly like mL. 1 cm^3 = 1 mL

 

If you wish to change it to L, you'd have to convert
