How did convection currents cause the plates to move

Chemistry
1 answer:
Paul [167]3 years ago

Convection currents in the mantle are powered by the heat from the earth's core. The convection cells move in a circular motion in the mantle as the plumes or currents of magma rises and falls due to heating and cooling. This circular motion will affect the base of the crust and drag the crustal plates along. The movement however is very slow, as plates only move a few centimeters or inches per year.

Answer:

I'd answer, but I dont really know what it's talking about.

Explanation:

The process of making glass involves a chemical change. While a physical change describes change in the superficial properties of a substance-- like melting ice into water, or tearing up a piece of paper-- a chemical change alters the chemical makeup of the substance itself. Glass can undergo physical changes, too!

Why is the electron in a Bohr hydrogen atom bound less tightly when it has a quantum number of 3 than when it has a quantum numb
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: An electron having a quantum number of one is closer to the nucleus

Explanation:

The Bohr model relies on electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and orbital electron. Hence, the closer an electron is to the nucleus the more closely it is held by the nucleus and the lesser its energy (the more stable the electron is and the more difficult it is to ionize it). The farther an electron is from the nucleus ( in higher shells or energy levels), the less the electrostatic attraction of such electron to the nucleus due to shielding effect. Hence it is less tightly held.

What is the ratio of Al 3+ ions to S 2- ions in a neutral compound?
iren2701 [21]
In a neutral ionic compound, you can determine its sub-scripts by simply flipping the ionic charges and dropping the signs: so AlS would be Al2S3
