Why does Mercury have almost no atmosphere?
Mercury spins on its axis too fast to have an atmosphere.
Radiation from the Sun blows the atmospheric particles off into space.
Mercury's gravity is too weak to hold an atmosphere.
Mercury orbits the Sun at such high speed that the atmosphere is blown away.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two main reasons. First, Mercury is small and doesn't have much gravity so it's hard to hold onto an atmosphere. Second, Mercury is close to the Sun so any atmosphere gets blasted away by stuff being blown off the Sun.

Explanation:

Because Mercury has no atmosphere, it can't hold onto its heat very well. The night side of Mercury gets very cold, which brings down the average temperature of the planet and makes it only the second hottest planet in the Solar System after Venus.

2. 1. Your best friend has missed a lot of school recently. Your teacher has allowed you to create a study guide and will let your friend use it on the test.

The guide should include:
• descriptions of amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and wave speed.
• Give examples of the wave relationship between amplitude and wavelength (if there is no relationship, explain how you know)
• Give examples of the wave relationship between wavelength and frequency (if there is no relationship, explain how you know)Text to speech

Answers

Answer:

Hi (best friend)! Here is what you missed!

Five wave parameters are defined and measured: the time, the frequency, the amplitude, the wavelength, and the speed. The wave length is the time it takes to pass a full phase. The frequency is just the opposite; it's the number of wave cycles that have been completed in a second.

Lets give a wave of water as an example. Its wavelength is the distance from crest to crest or from trough to trough. The wavelength can also be thought of as the distance a wave has traveled after one complete cycle—or one period. The time for one complete up-and-down motion is the simple water wave’s period T. In the figure, the wave itself moves to the right with a wave velocity vw. Its amplitude X is the distance between the resting position and the maximum displacement—either the crest or the trough—of the wave.

How is energy involved in physical change?

Answers

the amount of energy that is used changes the amount of physical change that is shown

During phase changes, energy changes are usually involved. For example, when solid dry ice vaporizes (physical change), carbon dioxide molecules absorb energy. When liquid water becomes ice, energy is released. Remember that all chemical reactions involve a change in the bonds of the reactants.

Why do physical properties change?
Why do chemical properties change?

Answers

1.Chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance
2. A physical change takes place without any changes in molecular composition
3. When a substance goes under a chemical reaction, the properties will change
Chemical change: Chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. These processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions.

A physical change takes place without any changes in molecular composition. The same element or compound is present before and after the change. The same molecule is present through out the changes. Physical changes are related to physical properties since some measurements require that changes be made.

When a substance goes under a chemical reaction, the properties will change drastically, resulting in chemical change. ... Chemical properties can be contrasted with physical properties, which can be discerned without changing the substance's structure.

Answer:

Chemical change

Explanation:

A chemical change happens when one chemical substance is transformed into one or more different substances, such as when iron becomes rust. Chemical changes occur through the process of chemical reactions, and the resulting substances have different properties because their atoms and molecules are arranged differently.

its not physical change: What is a physical change? A physical change is a change to the physical—as opposed to chemical—properties of a substance. They are usually reversible. The physical properties of a substance include such characteristics as shape (volume and size), color, texture, flexibility, density, and mass.

its not chemical reaction: A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances, also called reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, known as products.  A chemical reaction rearranges the constituent atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products

chemical properties; can be used to predict how substances react.

chemical changes; It is mostly used in identifying or describing the substance.

A chemical property is any of a material's properties that becomes evident during, or after, a chemical reaction; that is, any quality that can be established only by changing a substance's chemical identity.[1] Simply speaking, chemical properties cannot be determined just by viewing or touching the substance; the substance's internal structure must be affected greatly for its chemical properties to be investigated. When a substance goes under a chemical reaction, the properties will change drastically, resulting in chemical change.

If two oceanic plates move towards each other at a convergent boundary, then_____ may occur.

earthquakes
faults
ocean formation
mountains
volcanoes
island chains
seafloor spreading

pick two events

Answers

earthquake and mountains

Answer:

I think the answer is Volcanoes.

Explanation:

If the two plates that meet at a convergent plate boundary both are of oceanic crust, the older, denser plate will subduct beneath the less dense plate. The older plate subducts into a trench, resulting in earthquakes. Melting of mantle material creates volcanoes at the subduction zone.

When two oceanic plates converge, the denser plate will end up sinking below the less dense plate, leading to the formation of an oceanic subduction zone. Old, dense crust tends to be subducted back into the earth. An example of a subduction zone formed from a convergent boundary is the Chile-Peru trench.
