Both California and Peru have or have had significant gold deposits because of their proximity to where two tectonic plate boundaries meet. Off the California coast there is the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate which meet at the San Andreas Fault but there also is the Farallon Plate which apparently has subducted somewhat below the North American Plate. Off Peru, the Nazca Plate is subducting under the South American Plate and which has caused the Andean orogeny.

Explanation:
Answer:
False
Explanation:
It is wrong to claim that when the attraction between particles overcomes their motion, the particles will clump together to boil.
During boiling particles do no clump together, they tend to move apart more rapidly.
- Boiling occurs when the vapor pressure overcomes the ambient atmospheric pressure.
- The hotter part of the boiler close the heat source moves rapidly away because they have become less dense.
- The colder and denser part sinks and this interaction sets up a convection cell.
Density = Mass / Volume
V = 1.00 * 4.00 * 2.50 = 10 cm³
22.57 g/cm³ = Mass / 10 cm³
M = 22.57 g/cm³ * 10 cm³
M = 225.7 g
Answer: The mass of the block of osmium is 225.7 g.
Answer:
Well we know that matter is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. It is not destroyed it simply was converted to gas. =D
