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 log has a density of .8 g/cm³. What will happen to this log in freshwater, which has a density of 1.0 g/cm³?
Inga [223]

Answer:

The log will float on the water because its density is lower than the liquid, so it will stay at the top due to Archimedes' principle.

In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased, what happens to the temperature if pressure remains constant?
Flura [38]

The correct answer is A. In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased and the pressure is constant, then the temperature decreases.

 <span>P1V1/ T1 = P2V2 / T2</span>

 <span>Assume the volume decrease by half; V2 = V1/2</span>

 <span>P1V1/ T1 = P2V1 /2 T2</span>

 <span>Cancelling terms,</span>

 <span>1/T1 = 1/2 T2</span>

T2 = T1/2

 <span>Thus, the temperature decreased.</span>

Which statement describes a system that consists of sugar crystals dissolving in water?
trapecia [35]

To know the answer, you either know what is really the nature and chemistry of a sugar solution. You can also know the answer by knowing the meaning of entropy. Entropy is often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system. So the correct statement is that the system becomes more disordered and has an increase in entropy.

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

It corresponds to Charles' Law

Explanation:

Charles's Law corresponds to one of the gas laws, where temperature and volume are related, to constant pressure. That is, according to said equation, the volume of a gas varies directly with the temperature, under conditions of constant pressure.
