Answer:

Primitive rocks of the earth slowly evolved with relatively cool temperature.

Explanation:

  • The oldest rocks of the earth have been broken down by the process of the erosion and have been estimated to be more than 4 billion years old and were formed during the hadeon eon.
  • When the surface of the earth was exposed at various places such as the geologic shields and is younger than the age of the earth and formation of the universe some 4.5 billion years ago as mineral contents shows of the late crystallization of magma.

What is different about the way molecules move in gases?
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Unlike solid and liquid state, molecules in gaseous state show random motion. That is the reason, gases take the shape of container and spread quickly in space. The random motion of molecules in the gaseous state is due to high kinetic energy in molecules. They have weak intermolecular interactions between them. The intermolecular space between gaseous molecules is very large. They can show all the three types of molecular motion, vibrational, rotational and translational motion. In vibrational motion, molecules move back and forth whereas in rotational motion the molecule rotates in space. In translational motion molecules move in certain directions. Molecules of solid-state are capable of vibrational motion due to strong intermolecular forces. Therefore, they show least random molecular motions. Like solids, liquids are capable of vibrational motion but at the same time they can also show rotational and translational motions due to weak intermolecular forces between molecules. Hence, liquids can show random molecular motions but less random compared to gas molecules. So we can say that random motion is related to temperatures, intermolecular forces of attractions, the kinetic energy of molecules and heat transfer.

Why is it easier to predict where an earthquake epicenter will occur than it is to predict when it will occur?
AleksAgata [21]
Predicting where an earthquake epicenter will occur is easier because are patterns to look at due to the fact that they always occur near plate boundaries. Predicting when they will occur is difficult because they do not follow any certain pattern.
