Describe how Alfred Wegener and Harry Hess contributed to the theory of Plate Tectonics.

Physics

Answer:Dr. Hess' most significant contribution to the plate tectonic theory began in 1945 when he was the commander of the U.S.S. ... In the paper Hess described how hot magma would rise from under the crust at the Great Global Rift. When the magma cooled, it would expand and push the tectonic plates apart.

Explanation:

<em>Alfred Wegener produced evidence in 1912 that the continents are in motion, but because he could not explain what forces could move them, geologists rejected his ideas. Almost 50 years later Harry Hess confirmed Wegener's ideas by using the evidence of seafloor spreading to explain what moved continents. </em>

<em />

<em>Plate tectonic theory had its beginnings in 1915 when Alfred Wegener proposed his theory of "continental drift." Wegener proposed that the continents plowed through the crust of ocean basins, which would explain why the outlines of many coastlines (like South America and Africa) look like they fit together like a puzzle.</em>

cumulonimbus clouds often form along cold forms. which type of weather is most likely to occur along a cold front?
AVprozaik [17]
A cold front phenomenon characterized by cold air pushing into  much warmer air mass.  The cold air being more dense than warm air is able to effectively push it forward usually at a fast pace.
When the cold front  is passing through an area, there are gusts of wind which usually sweep right across the ground and raise the dust in dry areas, there is a sudden drop in temperature  with moderate to heavy rain sometimes with thunder, lightning and hail. 
The warm air moving ahead of the cold front produces cumulus or cumulonimbus clouds with thunderstorms as atmospheric pressure falls then slowly rises again after the cold front has passed. 
Temperatures are noticeably cooler in a given area after a cold front has passed, which is followed by replacement of cumulus clouds by stratus and stratocumulus clouds and clear skies.

The heat of fusion of water is 6.01 kJ/mol. The heat capacity of liquid water is 75.3 J/mol · K. The conversion of 50.0 g of ice
serg [7]

Answer:

21.5 kJ

Explanation:

M = mass of  1 mole of water = 18 g

m = given mass of water = 50 g

Number of moles of water in the given amount is given as

n=\frac{m}{M}

n=\frac{50}{18}

n=2.8

L = Heat of fusion of water = 6.01 kJ/mol = 6010 J/mol

c = specific heat of water = 75.3 J/mol

\Delta T = Change in temperature = 22.0 °C

Amount of heat required is given as

Q = nL + n c \Delta T

Q = (2.8) (6010) + (2.8) (75.3) (22)

Q = 21466.5 J

Q = 21.5 kJ
