What is the meaning of plate tectonics

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest.

Answer 2
a theory explaining the structure of the earth's crust and many associated phenomena as resulting from the interaction of rigid lithospheric plates which move slowly over the underlying mantle.

Boiling water- When water boils, the heat passes from the burner into the pot, heating the water at the bottom. This hot water rises and cooler water moves down to replace it, causing a circular motion. ... ice melting - Ice melts because heat moves to the ice from the air.

radiator - A radiator puts warm air out at the top and draws in cooler air at the bottom. steaming cup of hot tea - The steam you see when drinking a cup of hot tea indicates that heat is being transferred into the air. ice melting - Ice melts because heat moves to the ice from the air.

Which statement describes the water gas particles in the air above the cup compared with the water liquid
particles in the cup?
The partides move faster and are closer together
The particles move faster and are far apart
The particles move slower and are closer together
The particles move slower and are far apart

Answers

Answer:

The particles move faster and are far apart

Explanation:

A substance may exist in three states of matter; solid, liquid and gas.

In the solid state, there is very strong intermolecular forces between the particles of the substance. They can only vibrate or rotate about their mean positions but can not translate.

In the liquid state, the particles of the substance have a greater degree of freedom than in the solid. The magnitude of intermolecular forces is lower than in solids, the molecules can move at low speeds.

In a gas, the molecules are separated from each other with negligible intermolecular interaction hence they move at very high speed.

Therefore, for the water gas particles in the air above the cup; the particles move faster and are far apart.

What effect does reusing or recycling municipal waste have on environmental resources? Group of answer choices increased use of fossil fuels preservation of raw materials introduction of pollutants into water systems increased deforestation of local areas

Answers

Answer:

preservation of raw materials

Explanation:

Reusing and recycling is the process by which the used products are used again or recycled in different form to use it again. Excessive use of the raw materials can lead to their extinction. Recycling the materials helps in decreasing the pollution in the environment. It also helps in reduction in the emission of the harmful gases. When municipal wastes are reused or recycled, the raw materials are preserved. These are the process involved in sustainable use of resources.

You bought your pig and it weighed 82 pounds. By fair your goal weight is 267 pounds. Your pig will gain 1 pound for every 3 pounds of feed. How much feed will you need to get your pig to it's goal weight? (show your work) (5) Feed costs $21.37 per 50 pound bag. How much will your feed cost be, to get your pig to it's goal weight? (5) MUST SHOW ALL WORK.

Answers

Number of feed = 555 pounds

Feed cost = $237.21

Further explanation

The main composition of algebraic expressions are:  

• 1. phrases/terms  

• 2. variable  

• 3. constants  

• 4. arithmetic operations  

• 5. coefficients  

• 6. exponent  

Initial weight = 82 pounds

Goal weight = 267 pounds

The difference in weight that must be achieved :

[tex]\tt 267-82=185~pounds[/tex]

The pig will gain 1 pound for every 3 pounds of feed⇒ 1 pound weight=3 pounds of feed

The amount of feed must be given:

[tex]\tt 185~pounds~weight\times 3~pounds~feed=555~pounds~of~feed[/tex]

Feed costs $21.37 per 50 pound bag, so for 555 pounds :

[tex]\tt (555~pounds\div 50)\times \$21.37=\$237.21[/tex]

pairs of electrons?
methane, CH4
ammonia, NH3
hydrocyanic acid, HCN
water, H20
CLEAR ALL

Answers

Answer:

water, H20

Explanation:

From the given choices, only water has two unshared or lone pairs of electrons in its central atom.

The formula of water is:

              H₂O

H is hydrogen with 1 electron

O is oxygen with 8 electrons and 6 valence electrons

To form the covalent bond, the 6 valence electrons are involved. Two out of the 6 bonds with the two oxygen.

The remaining 4 gives the two lone pairs.

Many plants in rainforests have leaf tips that come to a point, so precipitation drains off the leaf. This helps to keep the plant safe from harmful germs. Based on this info, what resource is prevalent in a rainforest?

Answers

Answer:

rainfall/water

Explanation:

The possession of drip tips by the leaves of plants in the rainforest is a form of adaptation against high rainfall. Without the drip tips on leaves, water will persist on the surface of leaves, and in conjunction with the warm climate, promotes the growth of pathogens such as fungi and bacteria.

Hence, the possession of drip tips on leaves is an indication of the prevalence of water in the rainforest region.

This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.  

The electron configuration Oxygen (atomic number = 8) :
