If the average rate of sediment accumulation is 3 cm/1000years, how long would be required for sediments to completely bury seamounts 1.5 km high and convert part of the oceanic ridge into a part of the abyssal plains. (Show your work).

500,050000 years

Explanation:

Given that :

Rate of Accumulation = 3cm/ 1000 years

Height of seamounts = 1.5km

Representing height of seamounts in cm;

(1.5 *1000 * 100) = 1500150 cm

Time taken = height / rate

Time taken = (1500150 cm / 3cm) * 1000

Time taken = 500,050000 years

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
