The vacuum of space may be emptier than the best vacuum that we can make with current technology, but it is not completely empty

; every cubic centimeter of the emptiest parts of space contains about one atom. this gas, which exists everywhere between the stars, is part of the interstellar medium (ism). based on what you have learned about light from previous chapters, how would we determine what this gas in the interstellar medium is made of?

We can use light absorption technique to determine which element this atom belongs to.

When light meets an atom it is absorbed. The particles of light (photons) are absorbed by electrons and electrons jump to a higher energy state. When electron jump to a lower energy state they emit photons. If we observe continuous spectrum of a light that comes from this atom we can see black stripes. These stripes are unique for each atom and represent these jumps that electron made. By comparing observed stripes with those that were found in a laboratory we can figure out which element this atom belongs to.

Answer:

Drilling companies drill vertically down to the desired distance and drill horizontally into the shale. They then use hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to loosen up the rock enough to get the gas out.

Hope this helps

How long to leave diatomaceous earth on carpet for fleas.
Nataly [62]

Answer:Explanation:

DE is highly absorbent and will then suck the moisture away from the pest until it dies of dehydration. After coming in contact with the diatomaceous earth, fleas may die in as little as 4 hours, though it is recommended to leave the DE for up to 48 hours(2 day) to ensure its effectiveness.

It remains effective as long as it stays dry, and often takes a week or more to start killing insects. Since the insects may have laid eggs by then, leaving on the diatomaceous earth for several weeks will help prevent a rebound.

at a subduction zone where oceanic lithosphere meets continental lithosphere, which would subduct and why?
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Oceanic Lithosphere

Explanatation

Oceanic lithosphere is more dense (compacted by immense pressure from oceans) and the continental lithosphere is less dense (lack of pressure from anything above it).  When the two collide, the continental lithosphere will essentially float on top of subterranean magma while the oceanic lithosphere, being the denser of the two, will slip beneath the continental lithosphere and dive into the magma chamber.
