A rock climbing group reached the top of Mount Everest in the Himalayan mountains. Mount Everest is about 29,000 feet above sea

level and formed by the interaction of two tectonic plates. The group leader was surprised to find fossilized marine organisms on top of the mountain. Which of the following describes the geologic history of Mount Everest?
answer choices:
A: Two tectonic plates had different densities which caused the denser plate containing fossilized marine organisms to rise above the surface and form the Himalayan mountains.


B: Two tectonic plates had different densities which caused one plate to subduct into the ocean and the other one to rise causing marine organisms to fossilize on top of Mount Everest.


C: Two tectonic plates had the same density which caused one plate to subduct into a transform boundary that fossilized marine organisms before the Himalayan mountains were formed and uplifted.


D: Two tectonic plates had the same density and a collision of the plates pushed the advancing plate that contained fossilized marine organisms upward forming the Himalayan mountains and Mount Everest.

How do you get from mL to cm cubed
Nastasia [14]
Definition: Cubic centimeter. A cubiccentimetre (cm3) is equal to thevolume of a cube with side length of 1 centimetre. It was the base unit ofvolume of the CGS system of units, and is a legitimate SI unit. It is equal to a millilitre (ml).

Measurements show that unknown compound X has the following composition: element mass % carbon 41.0% hydrogen 4.58% oxygen 54.6%
anastassius [24]

Answer:

CHO

Explanation:

Carbon = 41%,  Hydrogen = 4.58%, oxygen = 54.6%

Step 1:

Divide through by their respective relative atomic masses

41/ 12,         4.58/1,         54.6/16

3.41              4.58            3.41

Step 2:

Divide by the lowest ratio:

3.41/3.41,      4.58/3.41,     3.41/3.41

1,                    1,                  1

Hence the empirical formula is CHO

How you could use the scientific method to learn whether water really does take longer to boil if you are watching it.​
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Please find the detailed explanation below

Explanation:

A scientific method is a sequence of steps that is used to solve a problem. Every scientific method begins with a problem that needs to be solved.

Hence, in order to determine whether water really does take longer to boil if you are watching it, we employ the steps involved in a scientific method.

1) Ask a question/Make observation: This must initiate the process. The observation/question made here is that DOES WATER TAKE LONGER TIME TO BOIL WHEN WATCHED?

2. Formulating hypothesis; an hypothesis is a testable prediction of a possible solution to the stated problem. In this case, an hypothesis could read: IF water is watched while boiling, THEN it will take a longer time to boil. A hypothesis must be tested for it to be proved or disproved.

3. Test hypothesis: The formulated hypothesis is tested via conducting an experiment. The set up of the experiment can involve one group where water is boiled while watching it and another where water is boiled without watching. The former group is called Experimental group, while the latter group is called Control group. The time it takes for each group of water to boil will be recorded.

The independent variable (manipulated variable) will be the WATCHING, while the dependent variable (tested/responding variable) will be the TIME IT TAKES FOR WATER TO BOIL

4. Analyse the data; the data refers to the recorded time for each group of water. This will be analysed and compared.

5. Make conclusion; the conclusion depends on the result, which is the recorded time for each group of boiled water. Based on the result, the hypothesis can either be rejected or accepted. For example, if the control group boils faster than the experimental group, our hypothesis will be accepted but if otherwise, the hypothesis will be rejected.

Therefore, via the scientific method, it can be determined if it really takes longer time for water to boil while watched.
