How does sea floor spreading provide an explanation for how continents may move over earths surface?(I know this isn't Physics,

but there was no Earth Science option)

Alfred Wegner first proposed the idea that all the seven continents were once one super continent called "Pangea". Everyone considered his idea as a joke until he proved his theory with evidence of matching fossils, matching mountain ranges, and how all the continents fit together like puzzle pieces. Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge. Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics.

Calculate the speed of a car that traveled 200 kilometers in 3 hours.
nignag [31]

Answer:

The units (km/h) tell you how to do this! 200km/3h = 66.66666666…. BUT technically you only have ONE significant digit: 3 so 66.666… rounded to ONE digit is 70km/h but that is probably not important in this intro class so V = 66.67 or 67 km/h

slega [8]

3. The nuclear potential that binds protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom

is often approximated by a square well. Imagine a proton confined in an infinite

square well of length 10−5 nm, a typical nuclear diameter. Calculate the wavelength

and energy associated with the photon that is emitted when the proton undergoes a

transition from the first excited state (n = 2) to the ground state (n = 1). In what

region of the electromagnetic spectrum does this wavelength belong?

Answer 3

We are given that,

Length of square well = L = 10−5

nm = 10−14 m.

Energy of proton in state n is given by,

En =
