How did convection currents cause the plates to move

Chemistry
1 answer:
Paul [167]4 years ago
4 0
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.

How much energy in joules, does it take to heat a 55 gram sample of ice from-10°C to
Lostsunrise [7]

Energy needed : Q = 1105.5 J

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass = 55 g

Temperature from -10°C to 0°C

Required

Energy

Solution

Heat can be calculated using the formula:  

Q = mc∆T  

Q = heat, J  

m = mass, g  

c = specific heat, joules / g ° C  

∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K  

Input the value :

Q = 55 g x 2.01 J/g ° C  x (0-(-10))

Q = 1105.5 J
