Why did Matthew Henson leave his job at the restaurant?

Because a sea captain hired him to work on his ship and he leave his work in a small restaurant


Will the ocean rise to Nevada if all of the ice melts in global warming?

If ALL the ice on earth melted, sea level would rise around 220 feet. Las Vegas is about 2,028 feet elevation. That gives you about 1,828 feet of buffer!


How do rocks along the central valley of the mid-ocean ridge provide evidence of sea- floor spreading?

they can leave marks to prove that they have existed


How are salts deposit formed?

High tides flood the salt pans with sea water which evaporates to leave behind salt deposits. This is how salt deposits are formed.


How does seawater act as a buffer?

Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is a weak acid, and acetate ion (CH3COO-) is a weak base. Together, acetic acid and acetate ions form a conjugate acid-base pair. In solution, this conjugate acid-base pair act as a buffer solution. When small amounts of acid or base are added, buffer solutions are able to resist changes in pH. The conjugate acid-base pair work to protect the pH of the solution by balancing out the hydrogen ions supplied by the additional acid or balancing out the hydroxide ions supplied by the additional base.When an acid such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added to a buffer solution, only the hydrogen ions from the acid affect the solution. The remaining ions, in this case chlorine ions, are spectator ions; they do not participate in the reaction.The HCl reacts with the base component of the buffer and produces more of the buffer's acid component. Adding more acid decreases the pH of the solution, if the buffer solution does not remove these new hydrogen ions. The buffer removes the hydrogen ions, and they react with the hydroxide ions of the base. So the pH remains unchanged.When a base is added to a buffer, the opposite occurs. The base reacts with the acid component of the buffer. This removes the new hydroxide ions and prevents the base from raising the pH.
