How did convection currents cause the plates to move

Chemistry

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: The frequency of this light is 6.62\times 10^{14}s^{-1}

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use the equation:

\lambda=\frac{c}{\nu}

where,

\lambda = wavelength of the light =453nm=453\times 10^{-9}m

c = speed of light = 3.0\times 10^8m/s

\nu = frequency of light = ?

\nu=\frac{3.0\times 10^8m/s}{453\times 10^{-9}m}=6.62\times 10^{14}s^{-1}

The frequency of this light is 6.62\times 10^{14}s^{-1}

What best describes the conditions to becoming a fossil
Ede4ka [16]
Hello

I don't quite understand the question your asking and if there is any answers provided but I will still give you mine.


Fossils are formed in a number of different ways, but most are formed when a plant or animal dies in a watery environment and is buried in mud and silt. Soft tissues quickly decompose leaving the hard bones or shells behind. Over time sediment builds over the top and hardens into rock.


Hope this helps!!
Have a nice day!!

how would you write equation to show how buffers H2CO3 and NaHCO3 behave when (a) HCl is added and (b) NaOH is added.
Vlad1618 [11]
<span>H2CO3 <---> H+ + HCO3-
NaHCO3 <---> Na+ + HCO3-

When acid is added in the buffer, the excess H+ of that acid reacts with HCO3- to form H2CO3, and due to this NaHCO3 dissociates into HCO3- to attain the equilibrium. and hence there is no net effect of H+ due to pH remain almost constant. when a base is added to the buffer, the OH- ion of base react eith H+ ion present in buffer, then to attain equilibrium of H+ ion, the H2CO3 dissociates to produce H+ ion, but now there is the excess of HCO3- due to which Na+ ion react with them to attain equilibrium of HCO3-. hence there is again no net change in H+ ion due to which pH remain constant.....</span>
