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.

What volume of silver metal will weigh exactly 2500.0g. The density of the silver is 10.5 g/cm3
pochemuha
Density = mass/volume
From this equation we can also say:
Volume = mass/density
V = 2500.0g/10.5g/cm3
V = 238 cm3

Cannon-Bard theory

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>The idea that an emotion-arousing stimulus is simultaneously routed to the cortex and to the sympathetic nervous system is central to the Cannon-Band theory.</u></em>
  • Cannon-Bard theory states that we feel emotions and experience physiological reactions such as sweating, trembling, and muscle tension simultaneously.
  • The theory argues that we experience physiological arousal and emotion at the same time. The theory gives more attention to the role of thought or outward behavior as compared to James-Lange.
