Chemical Reactions The idea of chemical reactions was investigated about two hundred and fifty years ago‚ when a man named Antoine Laurent Lavoisier wanted to know about the importance of chemical changes. Also‚ in the 19th century‚ John Dalton made the atomic theory. Dalton said that bonding atoms together makes new substances‚ which is a chemical reaction (History of chemical reactions). The definition of chemical reaction is‚ “the processes in which substances undergo chemical changes‚ which

1. Wegner’s hypothesis of continental drift using the observation that the earth’s surfaces are continually changing and other evidence was that the continents had once been joined‚ and over time had drifted apart but he couldn’t explain the mechanism behind it. 2. Evidence gathered by Ewing‚ Tharp and Hess that lead to the theory of plate tectonics was: ⦁ In the early 1950s Ewing‚ with the help of Marie Tharp‚ a cartographer‚ mapped the seafloor using available echo profiles‚ the resulting mapped

Earth’s surface. These processes are controlled by the convection currents rising from the Earth’s mantle. Firstly‚ one place where tectonic activity occurs is at oceanic to oceanic constructive plate boundaries. Here two plates diverge or move away from each other‚ pushed apart by huge convection currents In the earth’s mantle. These convection currents are initiated by heat energy produced from radioactive decay in the earth’s core. As the convection currents move the plates away from each other‚ there

1. Summarize advances over time in determining the age of the Earth‚ including the importance of the discovery or radioactivity. Herodotus counted layers of earth near the Nile River in 450 B.C.E. The Bible was used in the Middle Ages to compute the age of the Earth. The 18th and 19th centuries brought a more scientific look into determining the age of the Earth by studying the salinities of the oceans‚ the rates of sedimentation‚ and models of cooling of different materials in order to calculate

technology was invented in the form of a fathometer to map the deepest depts. Of the ocean floor. 2. Summarize plate tectonics. It explains the theory of how the changing surfaces of the earth are formed. 3. What are convection currents and what is their role in plate tectonics? Convection currents are the rise and lowering of heat in te earths mantle like a boiling pot of water. The heat is denser at the bottom of the pan it rises the falls to the bottom and reapaets it self. This rising and dropping

There have been a couple supercontinents in the past. Three of them confirmed. The first of three is Rodinia. The second is Pannotia‚ and the third and most recent is Pangaea. These obviously aren’t here anymore and there won’t be another for a long time. From 50 million years to 200 million years. Could this actually happen again? The answer is yes. What even are supercontinents? One wouldn’t know if it could happen again if they don’t know what it is. Well‚ a supercontinent is several land

If an early year’s educator didn’t put a child first they are at risk of harm which can lead to Ofsted getting involved. The United Nations convection is the rights of the child‚ the convection changed the way children are treated. The rights explain the each child needs to survive and be treated equally no matter what. The United Nations convection makes sure that the people who have signed it are observed properly. • Article 19 – supports the concept of children having the right to be protected

Chapter 1 PROBLEM 1.1 The outer surface of a 0.2m-thick concrete wall is kept at a temperature of –5°C‚ while the inner surface is kept at 20°C. The thermal conductivity of the concrete is 1.2 W/(m K). Determine the heat loss through a wall 10 m long and 3 m high. GIVEN 10 m long‚ 3 m high‚ and 0.2 m thick concrete wall Thermal conductivity of the concrete (k) = 1.2 W/(m K) Temperature of the inner surface (Ti) = 20°C Temperature of the outer surface (To) = –5°C FIND The heat loss through
