At some convergent boundaries, an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate. Oceanic crust tends to be denser and thinner than continental crust, so the denser oceanic crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental crust. This forms what is called a subduction zone.
Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth.
<span>Ozone is simply a molecule consisting of 3 oxygen atoms, which reacts strongly with other molecules. Ozone is created in the stratosphere when high energy uv radiation causes on O2 molecule to split. The free oxygen atoms collide and react with other O2 molecules to form O3.</span>
Production is highest where the solar uv is the greatest eg near the tropics, but once created, the ozone is then circulated towards the poles by the atmosphere. The amount of ozone in the stratosphere can vary with location, season and even day to day climatic conditions.
<span>The process of ozone creation is what makes the O3 in the atmosphere very effective at shielding the Earth from harmful uv radiation, which can cause many biological problems, such as skin cancer. However, due to its high reactivity, the uv found in the tropospher at ground level can aslo be dangerous as a toxic pollutant which is harmful to plants and lung tissue, and is a major cause of smog.</span>
B.
The radiation present is likely to cause genetic mutations.
Answer:
Pressure, P = 28.2 kPa
Explanation:
Given that,
Number of moles, n = 0.54 mol
Volume of ideal gas, V = 35.5 L
Temperature, T = 223 K
We need to find the pressure of ideal gas. The equation of ideal gas is given by :
R is gas constant
P is pressure
So, the pressure of the gas is 28.2 kPa.
