How are tectonic plates related to earthquakes and volcanoes?

Chemistry

Answer

Tectonic plates are parts of the earth's crust. There are cracks in these plates that allow magma to seep through and build-up which creates volcanic eruptions. Volcanos themselves are created by the earth's plates pushing against each other and slowly, over time, rising to create these large raises in the crust. Earthquakes are caused by these plates creating friction against one another until they forcefully overlap or rip apart, hence the shaking effect during an earthquake.

At the beginning of an experiment, a scientist has 176 grams of radioactive goo. After 165 minutes, her sample has decayed to 5.
Paul [167]
The half-life equation is written as:

An = Aoe^-kt

We use this equation for the solution. We do as follows:

5.5 = 176e^-k(165)
k = 0.02
<span>What is the half-life of the goo in minutes? 
</span>
0.5 = e^-0.02t
t = 34.66 minutes <----HALF-LIFE


Find a formula for G(t) , the amount of goo remaining at time t.G(t)=? 

G(t) = 176e^-0.02t

How many grams of goo will remain after 50 minutes? 

G(t) = 176e^-0.02(50) = 64.75 g

Which property of water best explains why ice forms on its surface
lawyer [7]
The hydrogen bonding tendency of water causes it to be 'sticky,' in that water molecules tend to stick together (as in a puddle). This is known ascohesion. Because of this property, water has a high surface tension. This means that it takes a little extra force to break the surface of the water puddle.Mar 13, 2018
