1. What type of heat transfer causes the movement of tectonics plates.

1 answer:

4 0

1) heat from radioactive decay in the core of the Earth heard the mantle.
2) Plates move averagely only a few cm a year, this has been happening ever since the planet formed and cooled to give a thick crust so this movement has added up over many years to move plates far from where they started.
3) because the mantle is heated and is able to flow slowly, convection currents are set up which cause the plates on the crust to move.

Influence of the Global Air Masses

julia-pushkina [17]

When winds move air masses, they carry their weather conditions (heat or cold, dry or moist) from the source region to a new region. When the air mass reaches a new region, it might clash with another air mass that has a different temperature and humidity. This can create a severe storm.

The radius of the cone id 1.75 inches an the height id 3.5 inches. If the diameter of the bubble gum ball is 0.5 inches what is

Olegator [25]

Answer: $11.15 in^{3}$

Explanation:

We need to know the volume of the cone that can be filled with bubble gum ball, but firstly we need to calculate the volume of the cone $V_{C}$ and the volume of the buble gum ball (a sphere) $V_{B}$ :

<u>Volume of the cone:</u>

$V_{C}=\frac{\pi R^{2}h}{3}$ (1)

Where:

$R=1.75 in$ is the radius of the cone

$h=3.5 in$ is the height of the cone

$V_{C}=\frac{\pi (1.75 in)^{2}3.5 in}{3}$ (2)

$V_{C}=11.22 in^{3}$ (3) This is the volume of the cone

<u>Volume of the gum ball:</u>

$V_{B}=\frac{4\pi r^{3}}{3}$ (4)

Where:

$r=\frac{0.5 in}{2}=0.25 in$ is the radius of the sphere (half the diameter)

$V_{B}=\frac{4\pi (0.25 in)^{3}}{3}$ (5)

$V_{B}=0.065 in^{3}$ (6) This is the volume of the gum ball

Know we are able to find the closest approximation of the volume of the cone that can be filled with bubble gum ball, by calculating the difference or substracting (6) from (3):

$V_{C}-V_{B}=11.22 in^{3}-0.065 in^{3}$ (7)

Finally:

$V_{C}-V_{B}=11.15 in^{3}$ (8)

If a slowly running stream in the hydrosphere runs down off a mountain and passes over a plain, which of the following shows how

algol [13]

I would put option A.

The question says how the surface MIGHT change over a long period of time so that's why I wouldn't say option C, and that's how canyons are formed if I'm not mistaken.

I hope this helps. My apologies if I'm wrong.
