How did convection currents cause the plates to move

Chemistry
1 answer:
Paul [167]3 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.

Rank the following acids in order of increasing acid strength. Key: Weakening of hydrogen bond and stability of resulting anion.
raketka [301]

Explanation:

The given compounds are oxyacids and in these compounds more is the electronegativity of the central atom more will be its acidic strength.

This is because more is the electronegativity of the central atom more will be the polarity of OH bond. As a result, the compound can readily lose H^{+} ion.

Also, more is the electronegativity of central atom more will be the stability of conjugate base formed.

Thus, we can conclude that given compounds are arranged in increasing acid strength as follows.

       HOI < HOBr_{2} < HOCl_{3} < HOF

Why does knowing the mass of an object not help you identify what material the object is made from?
jeka57 [31]
Because mass is not always the same for objects made from the same material. Just because an object has the same mass as another doesn’t mean they are the same material.
