Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The heat plays the most important role that forms the convection current in the mantle.

According to the universally accepted plate tectonic theory, The earth's crust is comprised of numerous plates, both large and small. These plates are of 2 types, commonly termed as the continental and oceanic plate.

These plates are constantly in motion because of the formation of the convection current in the mantle. This current forms due to the heat supplied by the interior of the earth.

This heat allows the convection current to form in the mantle, forcing the plates to move over the less dense, viscous layer of asthenosphere.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

How many atoms are in 3 moles of nitrogen
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:1 mol of Mg(NO3)2 contains 6.022*10^23 molecules

3 mol Mg(NO3)2 contains 3*6.022*10^23 = 1.81*10^24 molecules

Each Mg(NO3)2 molecule contains 2 N atoms  

Number of N atoms = 2*1.81*10^24 = 3.62*10^24 N atoms.

The answer to this question
Ulleksa [173]

Hey there!

Oxygen needs two bonds to have a valence orbital of s²p⁶.

In a hexanal molecule, oxygen has a double bond with one carbon atom.

A double bond is when two pairs of electrons are being shared.

So your answer is b. 2.

Hope this helps!
