Rewrite the equation C = 3.59q + 54,293 as a function of q.
MAVERICK [17]

The equation, when rewritten would be written as:    

q = ( c - 54293 ) / 3.59

<h3>How to rewrite the equation in order to make q the subject</h3>

C = 3.59q + 54,293

We have the equation above, what we would have to do now would be to write the equation in such a way that q would be the subject of the formula.

This would be

3.59q = C -  54,293

Next we have to divide through by the value of q

q = \frac{C - 54293 }{3.59}

Explain how convection currents cause tectonic plates to move. Your explanation should be 1-3 sentences long. Use and bold the f
tester [92]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Convection is the process by which less dense material rises and more dense material sinks. The former are said to be more “buoyant” than the latter, and the vertical forces due to density difference are referred to as buoyancy forces. Rocks, water, and air—indeed, most materials—expand and thus become less dense as temperature increases, so convection is typically driven by temperature differences. In Earth’s mantle hot rock rises and slightly cooler rock sinks.

Convection drives our dynamic planet. The planet’s liquid outer core convects, creating the Earth’s magnetic field; the ocean convects, enabling exchange of CO2 with the atmosphere and transporting nutrients from depth that support important fisheries; and the atmosphere convects, acting in concert with the ocean to transport heat and moisture around the planet to create climate.

Everyday examples of convection in liquids include lava lamps or water heating on a stove. But the mantle is, in general, solid. It turns out that rocks, along with most other solids, flow by a solid-state, creeping motion, especially when they are hot and given enough time. This is what happens in the mantle. Based on observations of the rates at which the surface of Earth moves, geologists estimate the mantle convectively flows at rates of several centimeters a year.

The heat driving mantle convection has three sources. "Primordial" heat (left over from the accretion and differentiation that led to the formation of Earth’s core) contributes 20 to 50% of the heat. Heating due to the decay of radioactive isotopes (mainly potassium, thorium, and uranium) contributes 50 to 80%. Thirdly, tidal friction from the Moon’s pull on the Earth contributes perhaps 10%. Mantle convection is the main mechanism by which this heat escapes from the interior of Earth.

Plate tectonics refers to the movement of the rigid plates around the surface of Earth. The outer portion of the planet, or lithosphere, is relatively rigid because it is relatively cold. The lithosphere varies in thickness but is typically a hundred or so kilometers thick. It includes the upper mantle and both the continental and oceanic crust. The mantle’s convective motions break the lithosphere into plates and move them around the surface of the planet. These plates may move away from, move by, or collide with each other. This process forms ocean basins, shifts continents, and pushes up mountains.

Tectonic plates break apart and diverge where the mantle beneath is upwelling. In such regions mid-ocean ridges develop, and new lithosphere and crust form to replace the material that is moving away. Where plates converge, usually where the mantle is downwelling, one plate is forced beneath another. When this involves plates with embedded continental crust, mountain belts such as the Alps and Himalayas form. If the collision involves plates with oceanic crust, subduction zones form where one plate descends into the mantle beneath the other plate. Above these subduction zone chains of volcanoes and island arcs like the Aleutians, develop.

The churning of the mantle also affects the chemical composition of the ocean and has a long-term influence on climate. Mantle convection is the main way heat from Earth’s interior is transported to its surface, and this heat escapes principally through mid-ocean ridges. In fact, the connected mid-ocean ridge system is in essence a 80,000 km long volcano. Escaping heat along these ridges causes hot water to circulate through the crust in a “hydrothermal system.” As seawater reacts with the hot rocks, its composition changes. Over the course of several million years, all of the water in the world's oceans cycles through the oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges. This is how the hydrothermal circulation influences ocean composition.

How about atmospheric and oceanic circulation? Atmospheric circulation involves the movement of large air masses, and mountains act as barriers, redirecting circulation in the atmosphere. Also, as tectonic plates move, continents and ocean basins open and close. The position of continents and ocean basins strongly influences global ocean circulation, which exerts a major, albeit, long-term, influence on climate.

Express the fractions 1/2, 3/16, and 7/8 with an LCD
12345 [234]
You first need to find the LCD (lowest common denominator). You will need to find the smallest number that is a multiple of all numbers that is the denominator (2, 16, 8). Or, to say it another way, all the numbers in the denominator need to be a factor of this number. 

You can find this by first checking if the largest number that is the denominator-- in this case 16-- is already the LCD, which means 16 is divisible by all the other numbers. 

If this does not work, then multiply all the numbers together to get the LCD-- since you multiplied them together, you know that they will all be factors of the product. 

However, you will be able to see that 16 is indeed the lowest common denominator: 

2 × 8=16 

8 × 2=16 

16 × 1=16 

So, after you find the LCD, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the number that you would need to multiply the denominator to get the LCD (the whole point is that you want to get the denominator to be the LCD, but to do that you need to multiply both the top and bottom by the same number to keep the fraction the same). 

(1/2) x (8/8)= 8/16 

(3/16) x (1/1)= 3/16 

(7/8) x (2/2)= 14/16
