I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The difference between speed and velocity would be that speed <span> requires distance. Velocity requires displacement. Speed only has a magnitude while velocity is a vector quantity which means it has direction and magnitude.</span>
Answer:
The tectonic style and viability of modern plate tectonics in the early Earth is still debated. Field observations and theoretical arguments both in favor and against the uniformitarian view of plate tectonics back until the Archean continue to accumulate. Here, we present the first numerical modeling results that address for a hotter Earth the viability of subduction, one of the main requirements for plate tectonics. A hotter mantle has mainly two effects: 1) viscosity is lower, and 2) more melt is produced, which in a plate tectonic setting will lead to a thicker oceanic crust and harzburgite layer. Although compositional buoyancy resulting from these thick crust and harzburgite might be a serious limitation for subduction initiation, our modeling results show that eclogitization significantly relaxes this limitation for a developed, ongoing subduction process. Furthermore, the lower viscosity leads to more frequent slab breakoff, and sometimes to crustal separation from the mantle lithosphere. Unlike earlier propositions, not compositional buoyancy considerations, but this lithospheric weakness could be the principle limitation to the viability of plate tectonics in a hotter Earth. These results suggest a new explanation for the absence of ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism (UHPM) and blueschists in most of the Precambrian: early slabs were not too buoyant, but too weak to provide a mechanism for UHPM and exhumation.

Answer:
A water molecule consists of three atoms; an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, which are bond together like little magnets. The atoms consist of matter that has a nucleus in the centre. one mole of water contains 6.02 x 1023 MOLECULES of water But each molecule of water contains 2 H and 1 O atom = 3 atoms, so there are approximately 1.8 x 1024 atoms in a mole of water.Feb 12, 2003

Answer: The density of 0.50 grams of gaseous carbon stored under 1.50 atm of pressure at a temperature of -20.0 °C is 0.867 g/L.
Explanation:
- d = m/V, where d is the density, m is the mass and V is the volume.
- We have the mass m = 0.50 g, so we must get the volume V.
- To get the volume of a gas, we apply the general gas law PV = nRT
P is the pressure in atm (P = 1.5 atm)
V is the volume in L (V = ??? L)
n is the number of moles in mole, n = m/Atomic mass, n = 0.50/12.0 = 0.416 mole.
R is the general gas constant (R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K).
T is the temperature in K (T(K) = T(°C) + 273 = -20.0 + 273 = 253 K).
- Then, V = nRT/P = (0.416 mol)(0.082 L.atm/mol.K)(253 K) / (1.5 atm) = 0.576 L.
- Now, we can obtain the density; d = m/V = (0.50 g) / (0.576 L) = 0.867 g/L.
