It is less dense than the material of the Earth's mantle and thus "floats" on top of it. Continental crust is also less dense than oceanic crust, though it is considerably thicker; mostly 35 to 40 km versus the average oceanic thickness of around 7-10 km.


I looked this up but hope it helps!

What type of information can one obtain by taking a mass spectrum of an organic molecule like dodecane?
Furkat [3]
Mass spectrum of Dodecane will give following information.

1 ) Molecular Peak or Parent Peak:
                                                       The Parent peak will appear at m/z = 170. The intensity of this peak will be very weak.

2) Fragments:
                      Usually the fragments of such long chain alkanes appear with spacing of 14 amu, Hence, the peaks in dodecane will be as follow,

         170 - 156 - 142 - 128 - 114 - 100 - 86 - 72 - 58 - 44 - 30 - 16

3) Base Peak:
                     Most probably the Base peak will appear at m/z = 57. This peak is due to the formation of tertiary butyl cation as the intensity mainly depends upon the stability of cation. So this cation might form due to rearrangment giving the intensity of 100%.

Hello!

The answer is C. Hibernate during the cold winter months.

Why?

Alpine marmots are known for having a long hibernation duration which starts in October (winther) and ends in April (summer) (about 7 months). During this long period, they are able to reduce their bear beats from 200 per minute to just 30 or 38 beats, and their breaths from 60 breaths/minute to 1-3 breaths/minute, guaranteeing an extreme energy saving process.

Have a nice day!
