Answer:

The heat from the Earth's cores radioactive process makes the lithospheric plates move sometimes away or toward each other.

Hope it helps :)

Answer:

convection currents in the mantle

Explanation:

Convection currents in the mantle are always moving, and make the plates move too. The plates are resting on top of the mantle, which is where the convection currents are, which make them move along with the magma.

2. Describe How are the two forms of energy<br> carried by waves and matter related?
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

the energy of matter implies the motion of masses and the energy of the wave has no moving masses

The energy of the particles (matter) is the ability to do some work, therefore the energy can be of motion in the form of kinetic energy or in a configuration of the system called potential energy, the sum of these two energy is constant .

The wave is formed by a disturbance of the medium by matter, therefore for the formation of the wave matter supply energy, for example: in the form of movement, in the form of fluctuation of electric or magnetic field, etc.

The waves after being formed can move away from the matter that formed them, transporting the energy that alternately has kinetic and potential energy, but the total energy is constant.

Therefore the energy in matter is due to the movement of the same and the energy in the wave does not require the movement of matter, so it is a more efficient way of doing work.

In conclusion, the energy of matter implies the movement of masses and the energy of the wave has no moving masses.

What is the electron configuration for iodine
iogann1982 [59]

Hello!

To find electron configuration for Idoine we need to understand the following steps:

  1. Finding the Atom's Atomic Number (tells us the specific number of electrons)
  2. Determining the Charge of the Atom
  3. Understanding the orbitals (Set S [Contains 2], P [Contains 3, Holds 6], D [Contains 5, Holds 10], F [Contains 7, Holds 14], and there are some theoritical ones.) [Overall the sets go SPDFGHIK
  4. Understanding notations in configuartion. The notations display the number of electrons in the atom and set.

In this case, for Iodine. If we follow these rules we can see that the electron configuration is [Kr] 4d^10 5s^2 5p^5. We use Krytpon in front because that is the last full and stable noble gas before this particular element. Atoms are just trying to be stable so the goal is to achieve that full shell.

Genes are sections of DNA that code for a particular trait. Genes are ?
Burka [1]

Hello! Allow me to help!

Your question: Genes are ?

My answer: In biology, a gene is a basic unit of heredity and a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that encodes the synthesis of a gene product, either RNA or protein. During gene expression, the DNA is first copied into RNA. The RNA can be directly functional or be the intermediate template for a protein that performs a function

Why is my answer correct? Good question! Allow me to explain: A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. However, many genes do not code for proteins. In humans, genes vary in size from a few hundred DNA bases to more than 2 million bases. An international research effort called the Human Genome Project, which worked to determine the sequence of the human genome and identify the genes that it contains, estimated that humans have between 20,000 and 25,000 genes.

Every person has two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. Most genes are the same in all people, but a small number of genes (less than 1 percent of the total) are slightly different between people. Alleles are forms of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences contribute to each person’s unique physical features.

Scientists keep track of genes by giving them unique names. Because gene names can be long, genes are also assigned symbols, which are short combinations of letters (and sometimes numbers) that represent an abbreviated version of the gene name. For example, a gene on chromosome 7 that has been associated with cystic fibrosis is called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator; its symbol is CFTR.

Hope this helps! UwU

The mass of an erlenmeyer flask is 85.135 g. after 10.00 ml of water is added to the flask, the mass of the flask and the water
BARSIC [14]
Subtracting the mass of (flask+water) from the empty flask gives:
95.023 g - 85.135 g = 9.888 grams of water
Dividing this by the given volume of 10.00 mL water gives:
9.888 grams of water / 10.00 mL of water = 0.9888 g/mL of water
Therefore, based on this sample, the density of water is 0.9888 g/mL, which is close to the usually accepted approximation of 1 g/mL.
