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.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Rainfall - precipitation

disappeared puddles - evaporation

cloud formation - condensation

Explanation:

Rainfall that is observed by the Susan is the precipitation of the water cycle in which the water vapor that was condensed become heavy and form droplets of water and fall from sky to the earth surface.

Puddles that formed due to rainfall are the collection of water in the water cycle which is evaporated (process: evaporation) into the atmosphere n the form of water vapor which condensed to form clouds.

Chem help<br>calculate the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave with a frequency of (in pic)​
olchik [2.2K]

we have,

wavelenght=c/f

where c= 3×10^8 m/s

f=6.3×10^12 s^-1

so wavelength=(3×10^8)/(6.3×10^12)

=0.476×10^-4 m

Which two atoms could be the "before'' and ''after'' of an alpha ejection
spin [16.1K]
The answer would be uranium and thorium. When an alpha ejects a particle, it will create a new atom. So, when uranium ejects an alpha particle, it will produce thorium.  They call this process as the alpha decay. Alpha decay often happens on atoms that are abundant nuclei such as uranium, radium, and thorium.
