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

A gas in a closed container is heated with 12J of energy, causing the lid of the container to rise 3m with 5N of force. What is
levacccp [35]

Answer:

27J

Explanation:

From conservation of Thermal energy, the total internal energy is the total sum of energy supplied or taken from the system plus work done for or on the system.

Now the change in internal energy would be the sum of the received energy substended in the gas plus the work done by the system which is workdone that it will sustend in pushing the lid. This is expressed mathematically as;

U = Q + (F×d);

U- change in internal energy

Q is the energy received by the system and is positive when energy is received by the system.

Fxd is the workdone and is positive since the gas pushes up the lid- the system does work.

U=12+(3×5)= 27J
