What happens if strip of zinc is dipped in solution of copper sulphate?
Zinc is higher than copper in the electrochemical series, so it will displace copper from it's solutions.Zn + CuSO4 = ZnSO4 + CuCopper plates onto the zinc as a small amount of zinc sulphate is produced.
How does Voltas pile work?
A "Volta's Pile" or "Voltaic Pile" consisted of discs of zinc and copper with pieces of cardboard soaked in brine between the metal plates. It was the first "wet cell battery". This principle is used similarly today but the metals and fluids are quite different. The first electrical circuit was created by an Italian physicist named Luigi Galvani in the 1780s. He discovered a frog's leg would twitch when touched with two pieces of metal. His work was taken up by Professor Alessandro Volta who first invented the "Voltaic Pile".

What happens when tech tonic plates collide with oceanic plates?
Tectonic plates are oceanic plates. But when tectonic plates collide and a convergent boundary earthquakes occur.
What happens when two tectonic plates rub back and forth?
an earthquake happens
How do you dispose copper sulfate?
dissolve copper sulphate in dil. sulphuric acid. Place two metal plates(Cu and Pt) pass DC current between the plates (electrodes). Fix the negative pole of the DC source to copper and positive pole to platinum. Copper deposit on copper and you are end up with copper metal which can be reused. The solution finally is free of copper sulphate

How does a voltaic pile battery work?
It worked by the zinc, silver plates and the blotting paper. there was a positive and a negative side just like a regular battery.
What kind of a battery produces an electrical current by the action of 2 plates of different metals in an electrolyte?
The galvanic cell or voltaic cell. Same thing.

What metal is Statue of Liberty mostly made of?
Copper plates on a steel armature structure.
Does copper mining cause earthquakes?
No. The moving of tectonic plates does.

What happens to plates on the mantle?
Plates on the Earth's mantle are carried around by convection currents from the magma. This happens incredibly slowly.
