Explanation:

When a plate moves it shifts the earth, and it can cause an earthquake.

A fault is where two of earth's tectonic plates come together. They can slide against the other, causing earthquakes, they can push against each other causing mountains to form, and they can move apart from each other, causing valleys or trenches.

How much pure acid is in 520 milliliters of a 13 % solution?

Liono4ka [1.6K]

It actually depends on the percentage of the concentration give. Percentages can be expressed as %mass/mass, %volume/volume or %mass/volume. To keep things simple, let's just assume that it is in %volume/volume. Thus, 13% of 520 mL is pure acid.

Volume of pure acid = 520*0.13 = 67.6 mL

How would you build a model that is ionized? what happens if an atom is too ionized? how would you build a model that is radioac

tatyana61 [14]

It will probably zip far from you and join itself to an adjacent molecule or atom. it gets to be distinctly radioactive when its core contains an excessive number of or an excessively couple of neutrons. Attempt to keep an indistinguishable number of neutrons and protons from you construct your iota. In the event that the awkwardness is excessively extraordinary, radioactive rot will happen.

COMPARE: Identify three ways that a biologist’s research is similar to an astronomer’s.

dalvyx [7]

Biologist and astronomer both use tools that magnify so they are able to view minute objects. Astronomers use telescopes while biologists use microscopes.
They both require data science due to the enormous data they are collecting that needs to be analyzed. Astronomers are collecting data on millions of stars and galaxies. Biologists require data science to analyze the enormous genomic data from populations.
Both fields involve making new discoveries due to the enormity of the scale in their scopes. Biologists and astronomy attempt to find new planets and those that could harbor extra-terrestrial life while biology attempts to find new undiscovered species of organisms on earth.
