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).

If objects with a greater mass have greater gravitational pull, why is our solar
STatiana [176]

Answer:

It's too far away

Explanation:

According to classical mechanics, gravitational pull is inversely proportional to the distance squared; as the distance increases, the gravitational pull decreases at a faster and faster rate. Since Alpha Centauri A is a few lightyears (Tens of trillions of kilometers away), without even needing to calculate the force of gravity, it is very miniscule.

What two pieces of evidence did van Helmont use to reach his conclusion
Sav [38]

Explanation:

He weighed silver, dissolved it in acid, and then recovered all the original silver by reacting the solution with copper. He also showed, by using iron to recover the copper, that this displacement of one metal from its salt by using a second metal was not because of transmutation, as many had held.

Write a sentence that descrices how to determine the number of moles of a compound in known mass of a
sattari [20]

Explanation:

<u>Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,  </u>

Hence ,  

n = w / m

n = moles ,  

w = given mass ,  

m = molecular mass .

For example ,

For  a compound X ,

The given mass i.e. w = 20 g

and the molecular mass ,i.e. , m = 10 g / mol

Then the moles can easily be calculated by using the above formula ,

n = w / m

n = 20 g / 10 g/mol = 2 mol

Hence , answer = 2 mol.
