Describe how/why earth is layer the way it is

1 answer:

3 0

Denser objects and substances experience a greater gravitational force acting upon their mass. This is why materials of different densities form layers. ... It is less dense than the Earth's crust, which is a solid. This is why the Earth's surface and atmosphere form distinct layers.

pls give brainliest if this helped :)

What needed to be present in marine mud to form fossil fuels?

UkoKoshka [18]

When organisms and plants died and sank to the bottom of swamps and oceans, brown soil-like materials called peat are formed. Over millions of years, the peat became covered with sand, clay and other minerals and the peat is converted into layers of sedimentary rocks. After a long time, different type of fossil fuels are formed.

Describe Rutherford's contribution to the atomic model.

Nady [450]

Answer:

Rutherford's experiment, also known as

$\alpha - scattering \: experiment$

supports the existence of neutrons and the nucleus.

Explanation:

In the above diagram, Rutherford was trying to explain his contributions using thin foils of gold and other metals as targets for alpha particles from a radioactive source.

He observed that the majority of particles penetrated the foil either undeflected or with only a slight deflection. But, every now and then an alpha particle was scattered(or deflected) at a large angle..

According to Rutherford, most of the atoms must be empty space. This explains why the majority of alpha particles passed through through the gold foil with little or no deflection. The atoms positive charges, Rutherford proposed are all concentrated in the Nucleus, which is a dense central core within the atom.

Whenever an alpha particle came close to a nucleus in the scattering experiment, it experienced a large repulsive force and therefore a large deflection. Moreover, an alpha particle coming towards a nucleus would be completely repelled and its direction would be reversed. The positively charged particles in the Nucleus are called Protons.

I hope you find this useful... Have a lovely day.

What evidence do you see that a chemical reaction is taking place when you add hydrogen peroxide to potassium ioxide??

Yuri [45]

Answer:

Bubbling/Foaming

Heat is produced

Explanation:

A chemical reaction has occurred if

1. There is a change in colour

2. Formation of a precipitate

3. Formation of a gas

4. Change in temperature

5. Change of smell

In the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and potassium iodide, the solution quickly rises which shows the formation of gas. This means it is a chemical reaction.

The beaker/test tube/whatever you used should also become warm because it is an exothermic reaction. This means its a chemical reaction
