To identify which one is ionic compound, you would select the compound with the high melting point. Ionic compounds<span> have high </span>melting points<span> because the electrostatic interactions that hold the compounds together are very strong. Hope this answers the question.</span>
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Continental accretion
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- The collision and joining of crustal fragments to a continent is called the continental<em><u> </u></em><em><u>accretion</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
- <em><u>Accretion is the process through which materials such as sediment, volcanic arcs, or seamounts or blocks, etc. are added to the tectonic plate or land mass.</u></em> Many astronomical bodies, such as stars, galaxies or planets are formed by this process.
- Where the process of accretion has occurred the tectonic plates may have dense basaltic rocks which are indicative of oceanic lithosphere.
The thickness of the ozone layer (for earth) and the atmosphere.
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun but it isn’t the hottest because it has no atmosphere. Although Venus is the second planet from the sun, it is the hottest because of it’s thick atmosphere and the clouds that trap heat in.
This is an example Newton's Third Law. All the kinectic energy from the moving car transferred the potential energy of the parked car. This potential is not much since the brakes are on (hopefully) and it's not in a non-moving position.
