Answer:
The sediments accumulating on and around mid-ocean ridges are mostly formed from the calcareous and siliceous tests of pelagic organisms. This research is concerned with understanding how the rate of sediment supply varies from place to place due to varied productivity of pelagic organisms, how the sediments accumulate on the complex topography of a mid-ocean ridge, and with using the sediments to study mid-ocean ridge processes such as faulting and volcanism.
Sediment transport and accumulation
When pelagic materials reach the seafloor, they are redistributed by bottom currents and by sedimentary flows. This work studied the form of the accumulation using sediment profiler records collected with a Deep Tow system from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography deployed over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the early 1970s. The records showed that both sets of transport processes are important. The shapes of deposits were studied to see to what extent they conform to the diffusion transport model - many deposits have parabolic surfaces, which are the steady state forms expected from the diffusion transport model under boundary conditions of constant input or output flux to basins.
Answer:
Mass = 785.9 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Atoms of gold = 2.4 × 10²⁴ atoms
Mass of gold = ?
Solution:
First of all we will convert the number of atoms into moles.
2.4 × 10²⁴ atoms × 1 mol/ 6.02 × 10²³ atoms
number of moles = 3.99 mol
Now we will determine the mass of gold.
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 3.99 mol × 196.97 g/mol
Mass = 785.9 g
Answer:
Mechanical Energy to Thermal Energy
When you strike a match, it moves through the air until it rubs against a surface. The rubbing produces the heat required to light the match. This is a transformation from mechanical energy to thermal (heat) energy.
