If silicic rock is found in a core sample. What evidence does this provide about the rocks location ?
frez [133]

Answer:

The rocks location is underneath an ocean or mountain

Explanation:

Silicic rock are igneous rock rich in silica. The amount of silica that constitutes a silicic rock is usually defined as at least sixty three percent. Granite and rhyolite are the most common silicic rocks found. These are found in the magma of the Earth.

Silicic is the group of silicate magmas which crystallise a relatively small proportion of ferromagnesian silicates. The main constituents of a silicic rock will be minerals rich in silica-minerals mainly.

How much heat does a freezer need to remove from 1kg of water at 40°C to make ice at 0°C? (You will need to use the specific hea
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Explanation:

Q = m c Δt

heat withdrawn to lower temperature by 40° C

Q = 1 X 1000 X 40 = 40,000 calories.

Q = mL

heat withdrawn to freeze water at 0°C to ice

= 1 x 80000 = 80,000 calories

total heat to be withdrawn = 120,000 calories. = 120,000 x 4.2 = 504 ,000 Joules.
