What is the main reason that cause the subduction process?

Chemistry
1 answer:
docker41 [41]3 years ago
3 0

Subduction occurs when two plates collide at a convergent boundary, and one plate is driven beneath the other, back into the Earth’s interior. Not all convergence leads to subduction. Continental rocks are too buoyant to be forced downward, so when continents collide, they crumple but stay at the surface. Only oceanic plates, which are topped with basalt, are dense enough to sink into the mantle. As a result, only oceanic plates are subducted.

A 1.2 L weather balloon on the ground has a temperature of 25°C and is at atmospheric pressure (1.0 atm). When it rises to an el
icang [17]

Answer:

The temperature of the air at this given elevation will be 53.32425°C

Explanation:

We can calculate the final temperature through the combined gas law. Therefore we will need to know 1 ) The initial volume, 2 ) The initial temperature, 3 ) Initial Pressure, 4 ) Final Volume, 5 ) Final Pressure.

Initial Volume = 1.2 L ; Initial Temperature = 25°C = 298.15 K ; Initial pressure = 1.0 atm  ; Final Volume = 1.8 L ; Final pressure = 0.73 atm  

We have all the information we need. Now let us substitute into the following formula, and solve for the final temperature ( T_2 ),

P_1V_1 / T_1 = P_2V_2 / T_2,

T_2 = P_2V_2T_1 / P_1V_1,

T_2 = 0.73 atm * 1.8 L * 298.15 K / 1 atm * 1.2 L = ( 0.73 * 1.8 * 298.15 / 1 * 1.2 ) K = 326.47425 K,

T_2 = 326.47425 K = 53.32425 C

How many 3-liter balloons could the 12-L helium tank pressurized to 160 atm fill? Keep in mind that an "exhausted" helium tank i
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The 12L helium tank pressurized to 160 atm will fill <em>636 </em>3-liter balloons

Explanation:

It is possible to answer this question using Boyle's law:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

Where P₁ is the pressure of the tank (160atm), V₁ is the volume of the tank (12L), P₂ is the pressure of the balloons (1atm, atmospheric pressure) And V₂ is the volume this gas will occupy at 1 atm, thus:

160atm×12L = 1atm×V₂

V₂ = 1920L

As the tank will never be empty, the volume of the gas able to fill balloons is the total volume minus 12L, thus the volume of helium able to fill balloons is:

1920L - 12L = 1908L

1908L will fill:

1908L×\frac{1balloon}{3L} = <em>636 balloons</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
