Answer:C Earth's solid surface layer sits on a moving, semiliquid layer.

Explanation:

Earth is highly tectonically active because the solid layer of the earth sits on a moving, semi-liquid layer.

The earth's crust is broken into slabs. Together with part of the upper mantle, they form a layer called the lithosphere. These solid lithospheric bodies are called tectonic plates.

The nurse should first note the amount, color as well as the odor of the amniotic fluid.

Explanation

When a patient’s membrane ruptures spontaneously, the nurse should start by checking the consistency, odor, as well as the volume of the amniotic fluid. For this case, there are minimal chances of cord prolapse because the fatal head is already engaged and at 0 station. If the fatal head is not yet engaged, the nurse should start by checking for cord prelapse if the membrane ruptures spontaneously.

Define Sexual Reproduction

podryga [215]

The production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals of different types of gender . In most higher organisms, one sex (male) produces a small motile gamete which travels to fuse with a larger stationary gamete produced by the other (female).

Two balloons having the same charge of 1.2 × 10-6 coulombs each are kept 5.0 × 10-1 meters apart. What is the magnitude of the r

Pavel [41]

The answer is 5.2 × 10-2 newtons.

To calculate this, we will use Coulomb's Law:
F = $\frac{k * Q_{1} * Q_{2} }{ r^{2} }$
where F is repulcive force, k is constant, Q is charge, r is distance between charges.

If:
 $Q_{1}$ = $Q_{2}$ = 1.2 × $10^{-6}$ C²
r = 5.0 × $10^{-1}$ C²
k = 5.0 × $10^{9}$ $\frac{N*m^{2} }{ C^{2} }$

Then:
 $F = \frac{5.0* 10^{-1} \frac{N* m^{2} }{ C^{2}} * 1.2 * 10^{-6} C * 1.2 * 10^{-6} C }{(5.0* 10^{-1} m)^{2}}$
⇒ $F= \frac{9 * 1.2 * 1.2 * 10^{-3} N }{25* 10^{1} }$
⇒ $F = \frac{12.96* 10^{-2} }{25} N$
⇒ $F = 5.2 N$
