What causes earthquakes? Be sure to use the words: Core Mantle Conduction Convection Density

Chemistry
1 answer:
IrinaVladis [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Earthquakes are normally caused by underground rock breaking along a fault line. The seismic waves that cause the earth to shake are caused by this sudden release of energy. The plates or blocks of rock begin to move during and after the earthquake, and they continue to move until they become trapped again. As fluid near the center heats up, convection currents develop within the Earth's mantle. Particles pass more quickly as the core heats the bottom layer of mantle material, lowering its density and allowing it to rise. The convection current is started by the growing material.

How many grams are KBr are needed to make a saturated solution in 100g of water at 30c
erastova [34]

Explanation:

To calculate that you need to know the value of the Kps (constant of solubility) at 30°C of KBr in water.

<u>When the product of the concentrations of both ions (Br- and K+) equals the Kps, the solution is saturated. </u>

Given the disociation of the salt in water:

KBr \longrightarrow K^+ + Br^-

The concentration of both ions are equal (1:1 ratio) and the same as the concentration of KBr added.

The Kps:

Kps=[K^+][Br^-]

[KBr]=(Kps)^{1/2}

[KBr] are <u>moles of the salt per litre of water</u>

Assuming a density of water of 1 g/cm3, 100 g are 0.1 litre

To calculate the mass:

m=[KBr]*M*0.1 litre

where M is the molecular weight of the salt.

3200 out of 8000,

or :

3200 / 8000

= 0.4

How are these 3 types of rocks related/ similar?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The rock cycle

Explanation:

The three types of rocks are related and connected through the rock cycle. Rocks are not formed independently of one another, the process of their formation are interconnected.

 Igneous rocks are made from cooling and solidification of magma. These magma are derived from the melting of rocks that have been subjected to high temperature and pressure.

 When igneous rocks are formed, they can follow two path ways. They either get transformed to sedimentary rocks or metamorphic rocks.

When igneous rocks are subjected to metamorphic conditions, their mineralogy is altered to form metamorphic rocks.

If igneous rocks gets weathered and broken down by agents of denudation, they end up getting transformed into sedimentary rocks.
