Convection currents drive the movement of Earth's rigid tectonic plates in the planet's fluid molten mantle. In places where convection currents rise up towards the crust's surface, tectonic plates move away from each other in a process known as seafloor spreading

Convection currents describe the rising, spread, and sinking of gas, liquid, or molten material caused by the application of heat. ... Tremendous heat and pressure within the earth cause the hot magma to flow in convection currents. These currents cause the movement of the tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust.

Anna [14]

Answer:

hypertonic solution

Explanation:

Hypertonic solution -

It is the solution, with more amount of solute than the solvent , is known as hypertonic solution.

Now, is some substance is immersed in such solution , the substance gets shrinked , because , the solvent from the substance moves out of it and moves to the hypertonic solution.

Hence, the pickles gets shrinked up , as they put in a hypertonic solution.

As a chlorine atom becomes a negative ion, the atom blanks an electron
Andrew [12]

Answer: increases by

As a chlorine atom becomes a negative ion, the atom "increases by" an electron

Explanation:

Chlorine atom has an atomic number of 17, and an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p5 showing 7 valence electrons in its outermost shell.

Hence, it receives a single electron to achieve a stable octet structure with electronic configuration of

1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6. Therefore, Cl- is a univalent negative ion with 8 valence electrons in its outermost shell. The increase is shown below

Cl + e- --> Cl-

Thus, as a chlorine atom becomes a negative ion, the atom "increases by" an electron
