Answer:

C

Explanation:

A hot spot develops above the plume. Magma generated by the hot spot rises through the rigid plates of the lithosphere and produces active volcanoes at the Earth's surface. And as oceanic volcanoes move away from the hot spot, they cool and subside. As a result they produce older islands, atolls, and seamounts.

Calculate the total mass of water in kg on Earth's surface from the following data: total planetary surface area: 510,066,000 km
irinina [24]

Answer:

The total mass of water in on Earth's surface is 3.61419\times 10^{22} kg.

Explanation:

Total planetary surface area = T = 510,066,000 km^2

Total land area of planet = L = 148,647,000 km^2

Total water area of planet = W

T = L + W

510,066,000 km^2=148,647,000 km^2-W

W=510,066,000 km^2-148,647,000 km^2=361,419,000 km^2

Volume = Area × Depth

Volume of water on earth = V

V= 361,419,000 km^2\times 100 km^=36,141,900,000 km^3

km^3=10^{12} L

V=36,141,900,000 km^3=36,141,900,000 \times 10^{12} L

Total mass of total water on the earth = M

Density of the water,D = 1 g/mL = 0.001 kg/0.001 L=1 kg/L

1 g - 0.001 kg

1 mL = 0.001 L

D=\frac{M}{V}

M=D\times V

M =1 kg/L\times 36,141,900,000 \times 10^{12} L=3.61419\times 10^{22} kg

The total mass of water in on Earth's surface is 3.61419\times 10^{22} kg.

Which of the above boundaries can produce volcanoes?
kykrilka [37]
Convergent boundaries or destructive plate boundary due to subduction, is an actively deforming area where two or more tectonic plates of the lithosphere move towards one another and collide. As an effect of pressure, plate material and friction melting in the mantle, volcanoes and earthquakes are common near convergent boundaries. Subduction or continental collision is created when two plates move towards one another, depending on the nature of the involved plates. During these collisions (between two continental plates) Himalayas and large mountain ranges are formed.
