At divergent boundaries, plates separate, forming a narrow rift valley. Here, geysers spurt super-heated water, and magma, or molten rock, rises from the mantle and solidifies into basalt, forming new crust. Thus, at divergent boundaries, oceanic crust is created.
Answer:
carbon dioxide
Explanation:
carbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas produced by burning fossil fuels like coal and oil
I know what you're asking but I don't think the question is stated properly. Technically, an atom will not join with an "oxide" ion; i.e., the oxide ion is an atom of oxygen to which two electrons have been added. An oxide ion will add to 2 K ions or 1 Ca ion. The K ion has lost just one electron so it takes two of them to equal the 2- charge on the oxide ion whereas the Ca ion has lost two electrons and it takes only one of them to equal the charge on the oxide ion.
The kind of thermochemical equation represented below
that is
CaO(s) + H2O (l) = Ca(OH)2 (s) +65.2 kj
is exothermic ( answer B)
This is because its heat energy has a + sign meaning that heat is released by the reaction above.
