According to the theory of plate to tonics how do two plates interact to form large mountain range

Physics

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

which of these changes does a submarine encounter as it returns from the bottom of the ocean to the surface of the ocean
fiasKO [112]

a.the amount of sunlight increases.

Explanation:

As a submarine rises to the surface, the change it encounters that is true from the given options is that the amount of sunlight increases.

The bottom of the ocean is dark and receives little to no sunlight due to the scattering of the rays by ocean water.

  • As the submarine rises, the volume of water column on it decreases and the pressure on it decreases too.
  • Also, the temperature rises steadily to the surface.

“I know what the atomic number of this atom is, but I don’t know what the number of electrons is,” a friend says. How would you
liq [111]

Once the atomic number of an atom is known, the number of electrons can be deduced depending on if the atom is an ion or a neutral one.

<h3>Atomic number</h3>

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.

For atoms that are neutral, that is, no net charges, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. In other words, the positive charges always balance the negative charges in neutral atoms.

Thus, if the atomic number of a neutral atom is 6, for example, the proton number will also be 6. Since the proton must balance the electron, the number of electrons will also be 6.

The sound intensity at a distance 2.00 m from a sound source is 5.00 Find the total sound energy emitted by the source in each s
notka56 [123]

Answer:

     P = 251, 3 W

Explanation:

The intensity is defined as the power emitted per unit area

           I = P / A

Since sound is distributed in all directions spherical shape, the area of ​​a sphere is

           A = 4π r²

let's clear the power and replace

         P = I A

         P = I (4π r²)

let's calculate

         P = 5.00 (4π 2²)

         P = 251, 3 W
