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!

Differences in air pressure drive the global wind system on earth. Which term describes polar winds that blow from east to west?
marshall27 [118]

Answer: Polar Easterlies

Explanation: Winds flow from high pressure areas to low pressure areas. They originate in the north and south pole creating high pressure zones which generates an outflow. This outflow is then directed from east to west and hence the term used to describe these winds is Polar Easterlies.

If you have 6.25g of O2, how many moles of H2O are produced?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

0.4 moles of water produced by 6.25 g of oxygen.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oxygen = 6.25 g

Moles of water produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation;

2H₂ + O₂  → 2H₂O

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 6.35 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.2 mol

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen with water:

                    O₂          :          H₂O

                     1            :            2

                   0.2          :        2×0.2 = 0.4 mol

0.4 moles of water produced by 6.25 g of oxygen.
