Heat and gravity are fundamental to the process
The energy source for plate tectonics is Earth's internal heat while the forces moving the plates are the “ridge push” and “slab pull” gravity forces.

Hope I helped! :)

A map here shows the motion of a tectonic plate off the coast of the western united states. Which evidence supports the theory o
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Fossils, the shape of continents, the mid-ocean ridge system, sea floor sediment deposits, and the magnetism of rocks.

Explanation:

Fossils, the continent's shape, the mid-ocean ridge system, sea floor sediment deposits, and the magnetism of rocks on the sea floor are the evidences that support the theory of plate tectonics in the area. Fossils provides information to us when and where plants and animals once existed. Due to diverging plates, some life became isolated, and evolved into new species. Continental ‘fit’ through coastline matching. Some division of continents look as though they should fit together, e.g. South America and Africa.

A sample of hydrogen gas is found to be 8.50 L at a temperature of 38.0 C and a pressure of 725mm Hg. Find the volume at STP.
Vsevolod [243]
Temp must be Kelvin
38 C = <span> <span> <span> 311.15 </span> </span> </span> K
Volume at STP = 8.50 liters * (273.15 / 311.15) * (725 / 760) =
<span> <span> <span> 7.1182746306 </span> </span> </span> Liters

The formula to use is:

Volume at STP = Present Volume * (273.15 / Present Temp °K) * (Present Pressure (Torr) / 760)
