Answer:

5.A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.

6.The Nazca plate is an oceanic plate, while the South American plate is continental. The fast moving Nazca plate is moving east towards the South American plate at a downward angle and converging. This process is called subduction, resulting in frequent earthquakes & production of the Andes Mountains.

7.The Nazca plate forms the southeastern part of the Pacific plate. The Nazca and the Pacific plate share both divergent and transform type of plate boundary. The Pacific and the Nazca plate are separating at an increasing rate of about 122-142mm/year.

8.Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.

At standard temperature and pressure, carbon dioxide has a density of 1.98 kg/m3. What volume does 1.70 kg of carbon dioxide occ

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

<h2>volume= 0.85m^3</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume of the substance, the unit is in kg/m^3 and it is represented by the greek letter rho

Step one:

given data

we are told that the density of Co2= 1.98 kg/m3

and the mass of Co2 is= 1.70 kg

we know the relation between mass, volume and density is

$density=mass/volume$

make volume subject of formula we have

$volume=mass/density$

substitute we have

$volume=1.7/1.98\\\\volume= 0.85m^3$

How did Dalton think atoms formed a new substance?

vivado [14]

Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass

A car travels in a straight line covering a total distance of 90.0 miles in 60.0 minutes. Which one of the following statements

andrezito [222]

Answer:

E) The average velocity of the car is 90.0 miles per hour in the direction of motion.

Explanation:

Given;

distance covered by the car, d = 90 miles

time taken, t = 60 minutes = 1 hour

The average velocity of the car is given by change in displacement per change in time;

V = Δd / Δt

$V = \frac{x_f - x_o}{t_f -t_o} = \frac{90-0}{1-0} \\\\V = 90 \ miles/hour$

Therefore, the average velocity of the car is 90.0 miles per hour in the direction of motion.
