The theory of plate tectonics states that the earth's crust is separated into plates that float on the semi molten mantle below. Mountain ranges are formed at convergent plate margins where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a Continental plate. The continuous compression over time cause the rocks to be faulted and folded upwards into ranges. The Andes was formed in this way.

Continental plates also collide. When this happens no plate subducts instead they are both folded and faulted upwards. The Himalayan mountain range was formed this way.

When the two plates converge or collide they start to build pressure and slowly they lift up and create mountains

Can someone please describe surface tension to me. Please don't give me the dictionary definition. Thank you
11111nata11111 [884]


Surface tension - My definition -

It's exactly what it says - The tension of a surface with a liquid (such as water), caused by the attraction of the surfaces layer ---- I hope this helps ---- I actually did research it and got some of this from a dictionary, but I changed some of it, too.... Sorry if this doesn't help :)

A U-shaped tube, open to the air on both ends, contains mercury. Water is poured into the left arm until the water column is 10.
Masja [62]

Answer:

0.368 cm

Explanation:

x = distance by which the mercury rise

d = depth of the water = 10 cm = 0.10 m

ρ = density of water = 1000 kgm⁻³

ρ' = density of mercury = 13600 kgm⁻³

P₀ = atmospheric pressure

Using equilibrium of pressure on both side

P₀ + ρ g d = P₀ + ρ' g (2x)

(1000) (0.10) = (13600) (2x)

x = 0.00368 m

x = 0.368 cm
