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.

State the postulate of Bohr theory
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom is based on three postulates:

1) An electron moves around the nucleus in a circular orbit,

2) An electron's angular momentum in the orbit is quantised,

3) The change in an electron's energy as it makes a quantum jump from one orbit to another is always accompanied by the emission or absorption of a photon. Bohr's model is semi-classical because it combines the classical concept of electron orbit (postulate 1) with the new concept of quantisation ( postulates 2 and ).

What is the density of a solid that has a mass of 9.2 grams and a volume of 12.3 cm3 ? Would this object float or sink in water?
cluponka [151]
  • Mass=9.2g
  • Volume=12.3

\boxed{\sf Density=\dfrac{Mass}{Volume}}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Density=\dfrac{9.2}{12.3}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Density=0.74g/cm^3

  • Density of water =1g/cm^3

It will float in water
