Geological settings whereby there is melting of rock as well as formation of sediments can be attributed to Plate tectonics .

Plate tectonics can be regarded as  theory which explained the Earth's outer shell and how its been divided into solid rocks as well as slabs and its often referred to as Plate.

  • Plate tectonics explained that there is a large-scale motion  plates which   Earth's lithosphere is made up.
  • Tectonic processes started about 3.3 and 3.5 billion years ago.
  • Through the generation of Tectonic plate, there are melting of rocks as well as generation of sediments
  • The types of boundaries that exist between those tectonic plates can be categorized into 4, base on the the movement of the plates, and these are;
  1. divergent boundaries
  2. convergent boundaries
  3. transform fault boundaries
  4. plate boundary zones

Therefore, plate tectonic  gives explanation about Earth's outer shell.

Calcium’s atomic number is 20. it forms ions with 18 electrons. what is the electrical charge of a calcium ion?
Gnom [1K]
It would be a positive charge because it lost two electrons, if the charge was neutral it would be the same amount of protons and electrons, if the charge was negative the electrons would be 20 instead of 18. So in this case it is positive.

How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.360 kg of copper from 23.0 ∘C to 60.0 ∘C? The specific heat of co
AVprozaik [17]
MThe  heat  energy  required  to  raise  the  temperature   of  0.36Kg   of  copper   from   22 c   to  60  c  is  calculate  using  the  following  formula

MC delta T
m(mass)=  0.360kg  in  grams  =  0.360  x1000 = 360 g
  c(specific  heat  energy)  =  0.0920  cal/g.c
delta T =  60- 23  = 37  c

heat  energy is therefore=  360g   x0.0920 cal/g.c  x 37  c=  1225.44  cal

I NEED HELP ASAP!!!

Explanation:

To answer this question, we'll need to use the Ideal Gas Law:

p

V

=

n

R

T

,

where

p

is pressure,

V

is volume,

n

is the number of moles

R

is the gas constant, and

T

is temperature in Kelvin.

The question already gives us the values for

p

and

T

, because helium is at STP. This means that temperature is

273.15 K

and pressure is

1 atm

.

We also already know the gas constant. In our case, we'll use the value of

0.08206 L atm/K mol

since these units fit the units of our given values the best.

We can find the value for

n

by dividing the mass of helium gas by its molar mass:

n

=

number of moles

=

mass of sample

molar mass

=

6.00 g

4.00 g/mol

=

1.50 mol

Now, we can just plug all of these values in and solve for

V

:

p

V

=

n

R

T

V

=

n

R

T

p

=

1.50 mol

×

0.08206 L atm/K mol

×

273.15 K

1 atm

= 33.6 L

this is not the answer but it will help you

do by the formula it is on the answer
