Geologically, the Himalayan mountain range is one of the youngest mountain ranges on Earth. It has nine of the ten highest peaks

in the world. Also, this mountain range is still growing by roughly one centimeter per year.
Which statement BEST explains why the Himalayas are getting taller?
Group of answer choices

Two tectonic plates are colliding.

Lava from volcanic eruptions is building up the peaks.

Surrounding areas are sinking due to weathering and erosion.

Wind deposits sediment that collects and builds up the mountains.

Answer:

In chemistry, a symbol is an abbreviation for a chemical element. Symbols for chemical elements normally consist of one or two letters from the Latin alphabet and are written with the first letter capitalised.

Earlier symbols for chemical elements stem from classical Latin and Greek vocabulary. For some elements, this is because the material was known in ancient times, while for others, the name is a more recent invention. For example, Pb is the symbol for lead (plumbum in Latin); Hg is the symbol for mercury (hydrargyrum in Greek); and He is the symbol for helium (a new Latin name) because helium was not known in ancient Roman times. Some symbols come from other sources, like W for tungsten (Wolfram in German) which was not known in Roman times.

When aqueous solutions of Na2SO4 and Pb(NO3)2 are mixed, PbSO4 precipitates. Calculate the mass of PbSO4 formed when 1.25 L of 0
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The mass of PbSO4 formed 15.163 gram

Explanation:

mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 1.25 x 0.05 = 0.0625

mole of Na₂SO₄ = 2 x 0.025 = 0.05

                                      Pb(NO₃)₂ + Na₂SO₄ → PbSO₄ + 2 NaNO₃

( Mole/Stoichiometry )    \frac{0.0625}{1}           \frac{0.05}{1}

                                     = 0.0625     = 0.05

From  (Mole/ Stoichiometry ) we can conclude that Na₂SO₄ is limiting reagent.

Mass of PbSO₄ precipitate = 0.05 x Molecular mass of PbSO₄

                                            = 0.05 x 303.26 g

                                            = 15.163 g

Wind blowing sediment against rock or land area or sand blasting is called
artcher [175]

The correct answer is - deflation.

The process of deflation can be caused by the winds. It is an erosive process in which the main role has the wind that is carrying lot of sediment in the shape of very small particles with it.

Through this process, the winds manage to erode large areas, especially in the drier places where the vegetation is very sparsely distributed. By this type of erosion, the winds manage to make lot of hollows that can range significantly in size. The hollows made by the deflation can be anywhere from few cm deep and several meters long, up to several km long and 50-60 meters of depth.

This is the process that is responsible for the creation of most of the oasis in the largest desert in the world, Sahara, some even being lowered enough to be under the sea level.

Mercury is a liquid meteal but it is not hard? how can we say it is a metal
NNADVOKAT [17]
What's the problem ? Hardness is not the definition of a metal. You need to expand your thinking. EVERY element is solid, liquid, and gas, over different ranges of temperature ... including all of the metals. There are only TWO elements that are liquid AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, and mercury is one of them. But on a mild day at the south pole, mercury is solid too.
