Sophia was fascinated while studying the role of oceans in the hydrosphere. She decided to illustrate the features of the ocean

floor on a poster for her part in a group project. Identify and describe the kinds of features found on the ocean floor.

Answer:

The Major features of the ocean floor are:

  1. Continental Shelf
  2. Continental Slope
  3. Continental Rise
  4. Abyssal Plain
  5. Oceanic Trench
  6. Mid-Ocean Ridge

Explanation:

1. Continental Shelf: This refers to the part of the land on every continent that is covered with water that is not too deep. The types of animals that can be found on the continental shelf are:

Crab, Tuna, Lobster, Dungeness cod, etc. Within the Continental shelf, there are permanent rocks that house other organisms such as sponges, anemones, clams, sponges, oysters. The continental shelf also contains the route of migration for bigger animals such as sea turtles dolphins and even whales.

2. Continental Slope: This spans from the shelf break to the continental rise.  It can slope up to 4 degrees. Slopes can be created by faulting, slumping of huge boulders of sediments, rifting, etc.

Some of the aquatic animals that can be found in this region include but are not limited to:

Sablefish, Dover sole rockfish, etc.

3. Continental rise

This part of the ocean floor usually has a very steep gradient or angle slope. It slopes very steeply into the abyssal plain of the ocean.

The following can help form continental rise:

  • Mass wasting;
  • deposition from contour currents and
  • the longitudinal settling of biogenic and clastic particles

4. Abyssal Plain.

This is the real bottom of the ocean. There is a very high probability that one would find animals such as nematodes, polychaetes, etc which are all types of worms down there. The Abyssal plain is also home to molluscs,  and echinoderms.

5. Oceanic Trench

Sometimes there is a long and narrow indenture or depression along the seafloor. These are called Trenches. Trenches are sometimes formed by the boundaries between one lithospheric plate and another. The deepest trench on earth is found in the Pacific Ocean. It has been nick-named the Challenger Deep and said to be the deepest point known on earth reaching almost 11 kilometers.

6. Mid-Ocean Ridge

This is a mountain range underneath the ocean. It is formed when there is an upward push by convection currents of the mantle beneath the oceanic crust. When this happens and molten magma is ejected or created at the boundary between the plates, the result is a Mid-Oceanic Ridge.

Write a word equation for the combustion of propane???<br> HELP????
frutty [35]

Answer:

1 mole of propane combines with 5 moles of oxygen gas to produce 3 mole of carbon dioxide and 4 moles of water.

Explanation:

The word equation for the combustion of propane can be obtained from the chemical equation;

      C₃H₈   +    5O₂    →   3CO₂   +   4H₂O  

The word equation is therefore:

 1 mole of propane combines with 5 moles of oxygen gas to produce 3 mole of carbon dioxide and 4 moles of water.

For such a combustion reaction, carbon dioxide and water are produced in the process.

N2+3H2 → 2NH3
s2008m [1.1K]

Explanation:

N2 (g) + H2 (g) gives out NH3 (g)

Now balance it. You have two reactants with compositions involving a single element, which makes it very easy to keep track of how much is on each side. I would balance the nitrogens, and then the hydrogens.

Now balance it. You have two reactants with compositions involving a single element, which makes it very easy to keep track of how much is on each side. I would balance the nitrogens, and then the hydrogens.(If you balance the hydrogen reactant with a whole number first, I can guarantee you that you will have to give NH3 a new stoichiometric coefficient.)

N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) gives out 2NH3 (g)

The stoichiometric coefficients tell you that if we can somehow treat every component in the reaction as the same (like on a per-mol basis, hinthint), then one "[molar] equivalent" of nitrogen yields two [molar] equivalents of ammonia.

Luckily, one mol of anything is equal in quantity to one mol of anything else because the comparison is made in the units of mols.

So what do we do? Convert to

mols (remember the hint?).

28g N2 × 1 mol N2/ 2 × 14.007) g N2

= 0.9995 mol N2

At this point you don't even need to calculate the number of mols of H2 . Why? Because H2 is about 2 g/mol, which means we have over 10 mols of H2. We have 1 mol N2, and we need three times as many mols of H2 as we have

N2.

After doing the actual calculation you should realize that we have about 4 times as much H2 as we need. Therefore the limiting reagent is clearly N2.

Thus, we should yield 2×0.9995=1.9990 mols of NH3 (refer back to the reaction). So this is the second and last calculation we need to do:

1.9990 mol NH3 × 17.0307 g NH3/ 1 mol NH3

= 34.0444 g NH3

Hope it helpz~

An iron loses electrons. State the type of charge it will end up with
erastova [34]

Answer:

Most atoms do not have eight electrons in their valence electron shell. Some atoms have only a few electrons in their outer shell, while some atoms lack only one or two electrons to have an octet. In cases where an atom has three or fewer valence electrons, the atom may lose those valence electrons quite easily until what remains is a lower shell that contains an octet. Atoms that lose electrons acquire a positive charge as a result because they are left with fewer negatively charged electrons to balance the positive charges of the protons in the nucleus. Positively charged ions are called cations. Most metals become cations when they make ionic

What is the ph of a 0.0055 m ha (weak acid) solution that is 8.2% ionized?
Trava [24]
Answer is: pH value of weak is 3.35.
Chemical reaction (dissociation): HA(aq) → H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).
c(HA) = 0.0055 M.
α = 8.2% ÷ 100% = 0.082.
[H⁺] = c(HA) · α.
[H⁺] = 0.0055 M · 0.082.
[H⁺] = 0.000451 M.
pH = -log[H⁺].
pH = -log(0.000451 M).
pH = 3.35.
pH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity <span>an aqueous solution.</span>
