The North American plate is moving towards the west-southwest at about 2.3 centimeters every year mediated by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the spreading center, which gave rise to the Atlantic Ocean. The small Juan De Fuca plate, moving east-northeast at 4 centimeters every year, was once a component of much greater oceanic plates known as the Farallon plate.
The Farallon plate used to comprise what is now the Cocos plate of Mexico and Central America, and the Juan de Fuca plate in the region from N. Vancouver Island to the Cape Mendicino California, and a big sea floor tract in between. However, the middle portion of the Old Farallon plate disappeared underneath North America, it was subducted underneath California leaving the San Andreas fault system behind as the contact between the Pacific plates and North America.
The Juan De Fuca plate is still actively subducting underneath North America. Its movement is not smooth, however, rather sticky. The buildup of strain takes place until the fault dissociates and a few meters of Juan De Fuca get slid underneath North America in a big earthquake.
There chemical reactions that can realise or absorb gas to the atmosphere. This means it is harder or impossible to measure it with normal weighing devices and normal taring equipment. As a principal in chemical reactions we have conservation of mass.
Answer:
a)Atomic number
Explanation:
Element symbol signifies the element. For eg, Na is sodium. Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons of an atom of an element. Atomic mass is the molar mass of the given element. Finally, atomic number is unique to each element because it signifies the number of protons of that element. EACH ELEMENT has their UNIQUE number of protons. For eg, atomic number of hydrogen is 1 because it has 1 proton, NO OTHER ELEMENT HAS ATOMIC NUMBER 1 because NO OTHER ELEMENT HAS 1 proton.
When gases dissolve in gases or when liquids and gases dissolve in liquids, particles movement eventually spreads the particles evenly throughout the solvent resulting in a homogeneous mixture.
Explanation:
When gases dissolve in gases or when liquids and gases dissolve in liquids, particle movement eventually spreads the particles evenly throughout the solvent resulting in a homogeneous mixture.
Solid particles do not dissolve easily like liquids and gases dissolve. Solid particles when dissolved in solid the particles moves very little. After getting heated and becomes molten then they get mixed.
But in the liquids and gases atoms moves and the particles get eventually spread and also get mixed after cooled.
