what exactly are you asking for?
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.

Answer:
Astronomers have divided the eight planets of our solar system into the inner planets and the outer planets. The 4 inner planets are the closest to the Sun, and the outer planets are the other four – Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The outer planets are also called the Jovian planets or gas giants.

Answer:
I = 8.75 kg m
Explanation:
This is a rotational movement exercise, let's start with kinetic energy
K = ½ I w²
They tell us that K = 330 J, let's find the angular velocity with kinematics
w² = w₀² + 2 α θ
as part of rest w₀ = 0
w = √ 2α θ
let's reduce the revolutions to the SI system
θ = 30.0 rev (2π rad / 1 rev) = 60π rad
let's calculate the angular velocity
w = √(2 0.200 60π)
w = 8.683 rad / s
we clear from the first equation
I = 2K / w²
let's calculate
I = 2 330 / 8,683²
I = 8.75 kg m
