What is the main reason that cause the subduction process?

1 answer:

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.

Is utensils a substance homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous mixture

Phoenix [80]

A pure substance or a homogeneous mixture consists of a single phase. A heterogeneous mixture consists of two or more phases. When oil and water are combined, they do not mix evenly, but instead form two separate layers.

Question 1 of 6

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Option A. 2, 3, 2

Explanation:

We'll begin by balancing the equation. This can be achieved by doing the following:

Fe + Cl2 —> FeCl3

There are 2 atoms of Cl on the left side and 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of Cl2 and 2 in front of FeCl3 as shown below:

Fe + 3Cl2 —> 2FeCl3

There are 2 atoms of Fe on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of Fe as shown below:

2Fe + 3Cl2 —> 2FeCl3

Now the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are : 2, 3, 2
