What is true of lithospheric plates?

Biology
1 answer:
klemol [59]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A. They are constantly moving. I think.

Explanation:

Each lithospheric plate is composed of a layer of oceanic crust or continental crust superficial to an outer layer of the mantle. Containing both crust and the upper region of the mantle, lithospheric plates are generally considered to be approximately 60 mi (100 km) thick. Earth's tectonic plates may have taken as long as 1 billion years to form, researchers report today in Nature. The plates — interlocking slabs of crust that float on Earth's viscous upper mantle — were created by a process similar to the subduction seen today when one plate dives below another, the report says. A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest.

What needs to happen for a solute to dissolve in a particular solvent? A. The attractions between the solute and solvent molecul
Masja [62]

The attractions between the solute and solvent molecules must be greater than the attractions keeping the solute together and the attractions keeping the solvent together. This needs to happen for a solute to dissolve in a particular solvent .

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Solute means the substances which get dissolved by another one, Ex: salt. On the other hand, Solvent refers the substance which dissolves. Ex: Water. To get dissolved in solvent, the particles present in solute move away.

It is possible only when the attractive force between solute and solvent are greater than binding force of solute and solvent.  Separation and mixing up with solvent particles, in general, called as solvatation.
