<span>Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle. The mantle itself moves due to convection currents: hot rock rises, gives off some heat, then falls. This creates vast swirls of moving liquid rock under the crust of the earth, which jostles the plates of crust on top.

Radon-220 is a radioactive gas. It escapes from underground rocks and causes a large part of the natural background radiation in
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: 134 neutrons are there in the nucleus of Radon-220

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

Thus, number of protons = atomic number = 86

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

220 = 86 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 134

Describe three pieces of evidence that support the Big Bang theory
lisov135 [29]

Explanation :

According to astronomers, the whole universe is started with a giant explosion called as Big Bang. Big Bang theory shows that the universe is  extended from high density state.

There are some evidence for big bang as :

(1) There are some red shifts of different galaxies which means that the universe is expanding.  

(2) Due to the expanding of universe, some of the new elements are created like hydrogen, deuterium etc.

(3) Microwaves are detected by orbiting detectors.

All this parameters shows that big bang theory was correct.

One side of the moon always faces Earth because the time it takes the moon to spin on its axis is blank the time it takes the mo
Kamila [148]
The word to fill in the blank is "equal". Because the time taken to rotate (spin on its axis) is equal to the time of revolution (going around the earth), this means that both have the same rate of angular rotation. So for every bit that the moon goes around its orbit around earth, the moon itself rotates accordingly to present the exact same side to earth.
