1) How did seafloor spreading revive Alfred Wegener's ideas about continental drift?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

1- Option (D)

2- FALSE

Explanation:

The seafloor spreading takes place because of the divergent plate motion. Alfred Wegener observed this motion of the seafloor and the continents but was not able to explain the main mechanism behind this until the new theory came into the picture. The divergent motion of seafloor and the motion of the continents were explained by the universally accepted theory known as the Plate tectonic theory. This theory was able to explain the mechanism behind this plate motion.  

The study of the seafloor spreading provided some pieces of evidence that supported the continental drift theory. They gave a basic idea about how the oceanic plate gets subducted (consumed) at the convergent plate motion that undergoes partial melting at greater depth. As a result of which the magma rises up to the surface on the overriding plates.

The crust represents the outermost layer of the earth. They are of 2 types, namely the oceanic and the continental crust. These crusts when slide past one another in a transform plate boundary, it is neither created nor destroyed. It remains conserved.

Thus, the correct answers are given above and the second statement is false.

What is the Wt% of SiO2 in augite?<br><br> (Ca, Fe, Mg, Na)(Mg,Fe,Al) (Si,Al)2 O6
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The weight% of SiO_2 in augite is 13.16 %.

Explanation:

Atomic mass of calcium = 40 g/mol

Atomic mass of iron = 56 g/mol

Atomic mass of magnesium = 24 g/mol

Atomic mass of sodium = 23 g/mol

Atomic mass of aluminum = 27 g/mol

Atomic mass of silicon = 28 g/mol

Atomic mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

Mass of SiO_2=28 g/mol+ 2\time 16 g/mol=60 g/mol

Molar mass of the augite (Ca, Fe, Mg, Na)(Mg,Fe,Al)(Si,Al)_2 O_6 = M

M=40 g/mol+2\times 56 g/mol+2\times 24 g/mol+23 g/mol+3\times 27 g/mol+2\times 28 g/mol+6\times 16 g/mol=456 g/mol

Weight% of SiO_2 in augite:

w\%=\frac{60 g/mol}{456 g/mol}\times 100=13.16\%

An astronaut in full spaced gear climbs a vertical ladder on the Earth. Later, the astronaut makes the same climb on the moon. I
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The gravitational potential will change more on  earth.

Explanation:

The gravity on the moon is only 17% of that of earth's because the earth has way more mass. Since the gravitational potential depends on the mass of the human and the height of the ladder, and both things will remain equal, no matter where they are, so we could assume that the gravitational potential energy will change more on earth.

Lesson 4 marine science the dynamic ocean study workbook? All workbook pages ?
mezya [45]

Answer:

Remote sensing is used for monitoring.

Explanation:

Remote sensing refers to a process of detecting and monitoring the physical geographical characteristics of a region through satellite or aircraft. Pixel refers to the smallest part of the image that can be seen on computer by zooming or in other words image is made of thousands of parts known as pixel. Only physical structure of animals can be seen. There are number of scientists which work together to interpret information present in a satellite image and these scientist has done specialization in different fields such as meteorology, computer programming, advanced mathematics and advanced physics.

What ia meant by green revolution​
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Green revolution, great increase in production of food grains (especially wheat and rice) that resulted in large part from the introduction into developing countries of new, high-yielding varieties, beginning in the mid-20th century. Its early dramatic successes were in Mexico and the Indian subcontinent. The new varieties require large amounts of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to produce their high yields, raising concerns about cost and potentially harmful environmental effects. Poor farmers, unable to afford the fertilizers and pesticides, have often reaped even lower yields with these grains than with the older strains, which were better adapted to local conditions and had some resistance to pests and diseases.
