While the crust of the Earth has been cooled down for millions of years, the inside is still hotter than the surface of the sun. The mantle that the tectonic plates are sitting on is constantly moving, causing the plates to move along with it. Basically the tectonic plates move around on the mantle like a beach ball does on water.
The last 3 options are valid in this particular case.
Answer: option <span>B.The total mass of A and C, which are carbon and oxygen, is equal to the mass of B, which is carbon dioxide.
</span>
Explanation:
1) The combustion of carbon is represented by the chemical equation:
C + O₂ → CO₂
2) The law of conservation of mass states that the mass of the products is equal to the mass of the reactants.
3) The reactants are C and O₂, while the product is CO₂.
4) The masses given are: A: 12 g, B: 44 g, and C: 32 g
Then, 12g + 32 g = 44 g, this is A + C = B.
Then, B represents the product, which is CO₂, whose molar mass is 44 g/mol.
Since, the molar mass of C is 12 g/mol, it is A; and since the molar mass of O₂ is 32, it is C.
Therefore, the answer is the option B.

Based on what you have read about wind turbines and dams, how does a generator work? A loop of ______ spins in a ______ field, producing ______ current.
Answer:
Wire
Magnetic
Electric
Explanation:
The generator works on the principle of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.
For example in a wind turbine generator, the mechanical energy is the wind that pushes the blades of the turbine directly that leads to conversion of this it's linear motion to the rotary motion required to make rotor of the generator to spin. Finally, the harder the wind pushes, the more the mechanical energy applied and consequently, the more electrical energy can be generated.
Now, all generators work because of the effect of the magnetic field moving past an electrical coil.
Thus, the movement of a magnet across a single loop of wire produces a voltage that is induced within the wire loop as a result of the magnetic field produced by the magnet.
As a voltage is induced across the wire loop, electrons begin to flow around the loop thereby generating electric current.
