A. Describe the roles of mechanical and chemical weathering in the formation of the sediments that are eventually incorporated i

Serhud [2]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks that are formed due to the accumulation of sediments that are derived from the deposition of small particles and their cementation of minerals and organic particles in the seafloor by the impact of various geological and earth processes like the wind, water, and glacier erosion.

Earth's crust is covered by 73% of sedimentary rocks and about 8% of the total crustal surface. Based on their formation, these rocks are thus classified as Siliciclastic, Carbonate, Evaporite, Iron-rich, and Phosphatic sedimentary rocks.

The color of these rocks is always determined by the iron and oxide contents, their size texture is a result of the density and permeability of the rocks like in the case of sandstone and limestone.

The relationship between the plate tectonics and the earthquakes is explained through the seismic waves that travel; through the three-layer of the earth from core to mantle to crust.

Earthquakes are directly related to plate boundaries as these are areas where these waves come out in the form of shocks and shaking of lands thus we expect of seeing three types of boundaries as Convergent, Divergent and Transform.

How do tectonic plates move? Slide past one another sh Together O All of these are correct Apart

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

When oceanic or continental plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or move in the same direction but at different speeds, a transform fault boundary is formed. No new crust is created or subducted, and no volcanoes form, but earthquakes occur along the fault.

If platinum has a density of 21.46g/cm³ ... if you have 5cm³ volume of platinum what is its mass

mixer [17]

Answer:

107.3g

Explanation:Density = Mass/Volume

There are two methods either by taking the above formula and inserting the values or by using Mass = Denstiy*Volume

Here I have showed you both the ways:

1st

As Desnity is 21.46g/cm^3

Volume = 5cm^3

Let m be mass

21.46g/cm^3=m/5cm^3

Cross multiplication takes place here

21.46*5=m

107.3 =m

Therefore, mass of platinum = 107.3g

2nd

Mass = Denstiy*Volume

Density = 21.46g/cm^3

Volume = 5cm^3

m=21.46g/cm^3* 5g/cm^3

m= 107.3g
