However‚ this assumes the atom to exhibit a spherical shape‚ which is only obeyed for atoms in vacuum or free space. Atomic radii may be derived from the distances between two nuclei when the two atoms are joined in a chemical bond. The radius varies with the location of an atom on the atomic chart‚ the type

Plate Tectonics The forces that shape the earth begin beneath the lithosphere. Rock in the asthenosphere is hot enough to flow slowly. Heated rock rises‚ moves up toward the lithosphere‚ cools and circulates downward. Riding above this circulation system are the tectonic plates‚ enormous moving pieces of the earth’s lithosphere. [pic] Plate Movement Tectonic Plates move in four different ways. When tectonic plates come into contact‚ changes on the earth’s surface occur. 1. Diveregnt Boundary-
