Why did the plates began to slip against each other 30 million years ago forming San Andreas fault

Chemistry
1 answer:
Jlenok [28]3 years ago
6 0

The currents of the mantle pull the crust above it through drag. The plates, therefore, move on top of the mantle. At San Andreas fault, the North American Plate met the Pacific plate. However, due to the presence of the  Farallon plate that was disappearing into the mantle in a subduction zone, the Pacific and North American plates movements changed in their configuration. The two plates now move past each other. The San Andreas fault is, therefore, a strike-slip fault.

For the reaction HNO3 + Mg(OH)2→ Mg(NO3)2 + H2O, how many grams of magnesium nitrate are produced from 8.00 mol of nitric acid,
ollegr [7]

Answer:

tha mass of magnesium nitrate is 592g

Explanation:

from a balanced chemical equation

2HNO3 + Mg(OH)2→ Mg(NO3)2 + 2H2O

2 mol of nitric acid is equivalent to 1 mol of magnesium nitrate. then 8 mol of nitric acid will be equivalent to 4 mol of magnesium nitrate.

2. Which is a true statement about a zero net force?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: the correct option is A (A zero net force causes no change to an object's

motion.)

Explanation:

Force is a vector quantity that causes an object to accelerate or change velocity when pushed or pulled. While a NET FORCE can be defined as the combination of all forces acting on an object which is equally capable of accelerating the object.

When a NET FORCE is equal to zero( that is zero net force),there will be no change to an object's motion. When the net force of an object is equal to zero , it shows the object is in either static equilibrium( the objects velocity is zero) or dynamic equilibrium(where the object is moving at constant velocity). In both cases, the object remains motionless because the net forces is equal to zero.
