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).

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The precautionary principle would prevent the implementation of technologies that possess a risk to humans, animals, and the environment. The strengths are that it will definately save the population and planet from a new technology that could cause long-term harm.

The weakness is that this principle may inhibit new technologies that are needed to help under-developed countries from preventing diseases. The precautionary principle states that technologies should entirely risk-free.

how many moles of potassium would you need to prepare 1200 grams of 5.0% potassium sulfate (m/m) solution
Marianna [84]
The  moles  of  potassium  that  you  would    need  to  prepare  1200 g  of  5% potassium   sulfate solution  is    1.538 moles

calculation
  calculate  the mass  potassium using  the below formula

%M/M =  mass  of the  solute(potassium)/mass of the  solvent (potassium  sulfate solution)

let  the  mass  of  potassium be represented by  Y

then  convert %  into fraction  = 5/100

5/100 =  Y/1200
cross  multiplication
100y =  6000
divide  both side by 100

Y=  60 g

moles of potassium =mass/molar  mass

= 60/39=1.538
