Answer:

D Earth's hot interior

Explanation:

The internal heat engine of the earth is the energy source that powers plate movement.

The sun drives the surface process and provides energy for the external heat engine

  • The earth's interior sources it heat from:
  1. decays of radioactive isotopes
  2. remnant heat from the formation of the earth
  3. frictional heating from the movement of the earth

Therefore, the heat is used to melt rocks and set up convection currents that drives plate movements.

Identify the process in which the entropy increases. Identify the process in which the entropy increases. the phase transition f
diamong [38]

Answer:

The phase transition from a solid to a gas.

Explanation:

Entropy is related to the moles of gases available. The more gaseous moles, the higher the entropy.

<em>Identify the process in which the entropy increases.</em>

  • <em>the phase transition from a solid to a gas</em>. YES. There are more gaseous moles available so entropy increases.
  • <em>a decrease in the number of moles of a gas during a chemical reaction</em>. NO. This causes a decrease in entropy.
  • <em>the phase transition from a liquid to a solid</em>. NO. There is almost no change in the entropy in this process.
  • <em>the phase transition from a gas to a liquid</em>. NO. There is a decrease in entropy in this process.
  • <em>the phase transition from a gas to a solid</em>. NO. There is a decrease in entropy in this process.

How do the shapes and volumes of solids,liquids, and gases differ?​
fiasKO [112]

Solids have a solid, fixed shape, while liquids can change shape as they are put into a different container or cup. Gases also take the shape of the object they are in.
