How long does a enzyme substrate complex last once its formed?
Like the whole day.
What does not define a mineral?
anything as long as it is not one of the four statements that define an mineral. -formed in nature - chemical makeup -cyrstal stucture -solid
How is a drumlin formed?
a drumlin is a long, low, tear-shaped mounds of till, often found in clusters.
Proteins are made from long chains of?
Amino acids by (mostly linear) peptidic bonding
What are the examples of divergent boundary?
Examples of a divergent boundary would be a mid-ocean ridge. Two plates are pulling apart from each other. If you have heard before, the magma from the asthenosphere find a way to get out through the crack of the diverging plates and makes new land. Another type of devergent boundary would be a fissure. It is a long linear crack made by the plates moving apart. I think maybe another one would probably be a volcano, but I am not sure.
Long cracks where plates diverge?
rift
What is a rift in geology?
A rift valley is a linear-shaped lowland between several highlands or mountain ranges created by the action of a geologic rift or fault
What is formed when the plates move apart at some boundaries and collide at others?
At collision, mountains, at separation, long deep holes into the earth.
How did the plates spread apart?
Tectonic Plates are formed when a divergence occurs within a continent; it is called as ÒRiftingÓ. When hot magma advances from below, the mantle pushes the crust and causes pressure forcing the continent to break and separate creating an earthquake.
When were fold mountains formed?
this most common type of mountain is formed when two tectonic plates smash into each other the edges buckle and crumble,giving rise to long mountain chains~bobby from Texas
How long did it take for the Rocky Mountains to form?
The rocky mountians formed over 20 million years of colition bettween two continental plates
Why does melting occur at divergent plate boundaries?
Hot mantle rock rises where the plates are moving apart. This releases pressure on the mantle, which lowers its melting temperature. Lava erupts through long cracks in the ground, or fissures
Why are the plates in column chromatography called 'theoretical plates'?
The number of theoretical plates in a chromatography column is a measure of how "long" the column is - how well it separates. A "short" column will only separate large or heavy molecules, and the medium and light stuff is still mixed together in the last band. A "long" column will separate the little stuff better because there are more theorectical plates. Picture a stack of sieves with smaller and smaller holes as the column gets "longer" and you've got the idea. This "length" has virtually nothing to do with the physical length of the separating column. It is a function of the packing materials and solvents used during a separation.
How are volcanoes and earthquakes linked to plate tectonics?
Yes. 1st of all the volcanoes are formed by the plates moving together and one going on the top.
How did plates form?
When the entire earth formed, it had a very cool pre-ice age ice age. The magma cooled and formed these giant rocks. +++ There was a very deep ice-age in Precambrian times but long before that, the primary cooling and solidifying of the Crust into granite continental, and basalt ocean-floor, plates would have been by radiation of heat into Space.
What are long cracks in the earth's crust called?
It's called a "fault"
What forms when magma is released through long open cracks?
lava
