... A wide range of industrial catalysts consist of transition elements or their compounds. They work through many different mechanisms, of which two will be mentioned here. In the Haber process, Fe2O3 is reduced to finely divided iron metal, and this provides a surface for the nitrogen and hydrogen to ...

The converse is also true: • As the temperature of a substance decreases, its volume also decreases (it contracts). You may have been wondering how this could happen. Do the individual molecules expand and contrac ...

Since all the rocks would have been oriented toward the Earth's poles, they could attribute any change in alignment to the motion of the continents. They then used this information to c ...

Continents On The Move
... Why do plates move? It is still not very clear what forces cause plates and continents to move around Earth’s surface. The most important motor of plate movement is mantle convection. Mantle convection is the process that continuously stirs the entire mantle as old, cold plates sink at subduction zo ...
