What could cause the Earth's crust to become a liquid?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Oceanic crust, extending 5-10 kilometers (3-6 kilometers) beneath the ocean floor, is mostly composed of different types of basalts. Geologists often refer to the rocks of the oceanic crust as “sima.” Sima stands for silicate and magnesium, the most abundant minerals in oceanic crust. (Basalts are a sima rocks.) Oceanic crust is dense, almost 3 grams per cubic centimeter (1.7 ounces per cubic inch).

Oceanic crust is constantly formed at mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are tearing apart from each other. As magma that wells up from these rifts in Earth’s surface cools, it becomes young oceanic crust. The age and density of oceanic crust increases with distance from mid-ocean ridges.

Just as oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, it is destroyed in subduction zones. Subduction is the important geologic process in which a tectonic plate made of dense lithospheric material melts or falls below a plate made of less-dense lithosphere at a convergent plate boundary.

At convergent plate boundaries between continental and oceanic lithosphere, the dense oceanic lithosphere (including the crust) always subducts beneath the continental. In the northwestern United States, for example, the oceanic Juan de Fuca plate subducts beneath the continental North American plate. At convergent boundaries between two plates carrying oceanic lithosphere, the denser (usually the larger and deeper ocean basin) subducts. In the Japan Trench, the dense Pacific plate subducts beneath the less-dense Okhotsk plate.

How do HOT AIR BALLOONS work when ascending and descending explain in terms of gas behavior?

Answers

Answer: Animation: Burning gas makes the air inside the balloon less dense, producing an upward force or lift. 1) A hot air balloon stays on the ground (or descends) when the air inside it is too cool. ... 3) When the air is hotter still, the balloon rises because the lift force is greater than the weight.

Using the model of the periodic table, which element pictured represents an unreactive gas?

Answers

Answer:

2

Explanation:

Nobel gasses are not reactive and are the far right group on the periodic table.  This is because they have a full valence electron shell which is the most stable electron configuration.  Most reactions occur in order for an atom to fill its valence shell and since they already have a full valence shell there is no reason for them to react.

Observe: Look at the red lithium atom and the blue oxygen atom. Recall that most atoms are stable when their outermost ring has eight electrons. (Some atoms, such as lithium and beryllium, are stable when their outermost ring has two electrons.)

Answers

Given :

Volume of stock solution, [tex]V_s = 20\ mL[/tex].

Volume of diluted solution, [tex]V_d = 400 \ mL[/tex].

Molarity of diluted solution, [tex]M_d = 1.44\ M[/tex].

To Find :

The concentration of the stock solution.

Solution :

We know, dilution factor is given by :

[tex]D.F=\dfrac{V_ {diluted}}{V_{stock}}[/tex]      ....1)

and [tex]D.F= \dfrac{M_{stock}}{M_{diluted}}[/tex]     ....2)

Putting volume in above equation, we get :

D.F = 400/20

D.F = 20

Putting value of D.F in equation 2) we get :

[tex]\dfrac{M_{stock}}{M_{diluted}} = 20\\\\M_{stock} = 20\times 1.44\\\\M_{stock} =28.8\ M[/tex]

The concentration of stock solution is nearest to 30 M.

Therefore, the correct option is 1) 30 M.

Carbon is stored in leaves in various forms, such as sugar. When leaves decay,they lose mass. Which of the following sentences explains what happens to the carbon that is stored in leaves when they decay? * 1 point

Answers

Answer:

This question lacks options, however, it can be answered based in general understanding. The answer is:

The carbon is released into the atmosphere and soil during decomposition

Explanation:

Carbon is an important element that makes up the biomass of living organisms. Organisms like plants as described in this question, store carbon as sugars, which they synthesized during photosynthesis. However, when they decompose/decay, they lose this carbon content.

Decomposition is the process carried out by microbes such as fungi, bacteria etc involving the breaking down of an organic molecule into inorganic ones. Hence, when leaves of a plant die, they undergo decomposition i.e. the carbon content in their leaves present as sugar (organic molecules) is broken down to release the carbon in form of carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere, soil etc. Hence, the carbon that is stored in leaves are RELEASED when they decay causing them to lose mass.

Which of the following describes redox in displacement plating?

Criminalist Julie Sandel is investigating a series of threatening notes written in pencil and sent to a local politician. A suspect is arrested and Julie directs the suspect to prepare writing samples to compare to the writing on the notes. She has the suspect sit at a desk in an empty office and gives him a pen and a piece of paper. She begins to read one of the notes and asks the suspect to write the words she dictates. After reading about half a page, she stops, then dictates the same part of the note a second time for the suspect. At one point, the suspect indicates that he does not know how to spell one of the words, so Julie spells it for him. After completing the task, Julie takes the origi- nal notes and the dictated writing from the suspect to a document examiner. What mistakes, if any, did Julie make?

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Julie Sandel, the Criminalist  made several mistakes in handling this investigation. They include;

It is true that handwriting can be deduced by comparing a suspects's handwriting to the questioned document, however Julie made a mistake by not making the suspect to write many pages. The suspect may intentionally decide to change his/her hand writing. This trick can be neutralized by asking the suspect to write several pages.

Secondly, the suspect ought to have been given a pencil and paper similar to the one used to write the threatening document. Rather, Julie gave the suspect a pen.

Thirdly, the suspect only wrote half a page instead of a full page. Secondly, Julie took only two exemplars when she should have taken more.

She should not have dictated the spelling of any word to the suspect. The examiner is not supposed to do that.

The threatening documents should have first been shown to the document examiner before taking the exemplars.

A buffer is made from an acid - base conjugate pair as shown by option A

What is a buffer?

Buffers are often composed of weak acids and their conjugate bases (or weak bases and their conjugate acids). The weak acid can contribute a proton to balance any new base, whereas the conjugate base can absorb a proton to do so.

This balance between the acid and its conjugate base allows the buffer to survive pH changes. Buffers are essential in biological systems because many biochemical processes are particularly sensitive to pH changes.
