Because the the sand on the sea for is very compact and the water salt and chemicals make it compact making it stick together and fill up holes or cracks before going anyhere

Well... there actually are areas of the seafloor that are spreading due to tectonic plates moving apart, but there are also places where these plates meet and one slides under the other (subduction zones) as a result, the earth is not getting bigger since these two actions cancel each other out. If that makes any sense.

That’s what I do know, but if you happen to need extra information, please let me know and I can go research it.
Have a great evening!

Fill in the blank with the correct answer. The longer the handle the __________ the mechanical advantage and the greater the inc
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Greater

Explanation:

The longer the handle, the greater the mechanical advantage and the greater the increase in force that is applied to the bolt.

Mechanical advantage is the rate at which force is multiplied.

  • It simply compares the output force to the input force.
  • M.A is the force increasing tendency of a tool.
  • The longer  the handle, the more the mechanical advantage and the lesser the applied force.

Sodium electron configuration in longhand notation
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Na₁₁ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

Explanation:

Sodium is present in group 1.

It is alkali metal.

It has one valence electron.

The atomic number of sodium is 11.

Its atomic mass is 23 amu.

The longhand notation of electronic configuration of sodium can be written as,

Na₁₁ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

The electronic configuration in shorthand notation( noble gas) would be written as,

Na₁₁ = [Ne] 3s¹

Sodium loses its one valence electron to complete the octet and get stable thus form +1 cation.

It react with halogen and form salt. Such as sodium chloride.

2Na + Cl₂  →  2NaCl
