Answer:
b. The number of electrons
Explanation:
A "neutral atom" has a <u>neutral charge</u>. This means that <em>its charge is equal to </em><em>zero. </em>In order for the charges to cancel out each other, the atom's <em>positive charge should be equal to the negative charge. </em>These being said, the number of electrons<em> (negatively-charged)</em> is then equal to the number of protons <em>(positively-charged). </em>Those atoms which are not neutral are called <em>"ions."</em> This means that they either have more or less electrons than the protons.
The following statements from the paragraph are true. Protons have a mass that contributes significantly to the mass of the atomic nucleus. Neutrons have a mass that contributes significantly to the mass of the atomic nucleus. Electrons have a very low mass and are not found in the nucleus but instead are found in surrounding orbits.
<span>1. The two qualities used to describe winds are direction and speed.
2. a local wind that blows during the day from an ocean toward land is a(n) sea breeze.
3. The increase in cooling that wind can cause is called the wind-chill factor.
4. Temperature differences between the equator and poles produce convection currents.
A movement that is parallel to Earth's Surface is called wind and a local wind is that wind that blows over a short distance.</span>
B
. They are large and occur at shallow depths near the where the plates diverge.
