Answer:
5.A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.
6.The Nazca plate is an oceanic plate, while the South American plate is continental. The fast moving Nazca plate is moving east towards the South American plate at a downward angle and converging. This process is called subduction, resulting in frequent earthquakes & production of the Andes Mountains.
7.The Nazca plate forms the southeastern part of the Pacific plate. The Nazca and the Pacific plate share both divergent and transform type of plate boundary. The Pacific and the Nazca plate are separating at an increasing rate of about 122-142mm/year.
8.Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.

Answer:
Option D
Reacts with sodium to form chloride
Explanation:
First, reaction between chlorine and sodium is a chemical reaction and not physical properties. Secondly, when chlorine reacts with sodium, it forms sodium chloride, NaCl NOT chloride as depicted by the statement. Otherwise, chlorine exists in the form of gas and is yellowish in color. Moreover, it's density is approximately 3.11 grams per liter. Therefore, the right answer is option D
Answer:
B a measure of the amount of matter in an object
Answer:
Explanation:
given,
s = 400- 16 t²
we know,
Velocity of an object is defined as the change in displacement per unit change in time.
velocity an also be return as
Hence, instantaneous velocity function given by
To calculate instantaneous velocity, you need to insert value of time.
ex, instantaneous velocity at t = 4 s
v = -32 x 4 = -128 m/s.
