Answer:
Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time. Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics.
The theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener. In the early 20th century, Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were “drifting” across the Earth, sometimes plowing through oceans and into each other. He called this movement continental drift.
Answer: Volcanoes and ridges are landforms that are created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Explanation:
Centripetal acceleration is (speed-squared) / (radius)
CA = (6 m/s)² / (9 m)
CA = (36 m²/s²) / (9 m)
CA = (36/9) (m²/m·s²)
<em>Centripetal acceleration = 4 m/s²</em>
This question involves the concepts of density, volume, and mass.
The approximate diameter of a magnesium atom is "3.55 x 10⁻¹⁰ m".
<h3>STEP 1 (FINDING MASS OF INDIVIDUAL ATOM)</h3>
It is given that:
Mass of one mole = 24 grams
Mass of 6 x 10²³ atoms = 24 grams
Mass of 1 atom = 
= 4 x 10⁻²³ grams
<h3>STEP 2 (FINDING VOLUME OF A SINGLE ATOM)</h3>
where,
= density = 1.7 grams/cm³- m = mass of single atom = 4 x 10⁻²³ grams
- V = volume of single atom = ?
Therefore,
V = 2.35 x 10⁻²³ cm³
<h3>STEP 3 (FINDING DIAMETER OF ATOM)</h3>
The atom is in a spherical shape. Hence, its Volume can be given as follows:
![V =\frac{\pi d^3}{6}\\\\d=\sqrt[3]{ \frac{6V}{\pi}}\\\\d=\sqrt[3]{ \frac{6(2.35\ x\ 10^{-23}\ cm^3)}{\pi}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=V%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Cpi%20d%5E3%7D%7B6%7D%5C%5C%5C%5Cd%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%20%5Cfrac%7B6V%7D%7B%5Cpi%7D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5Cd%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%20%5Cfrac%7B6%282.35%5C%20x%5C%2010%5E%7B-23%7D%5C%20cm%5E3%29%7D%7B%5Cpi%7D%7D)
d = 0.355 x 10⁻⁷ cm = 3.55 x 10⁻¹⁰ m
