Plate tectonics - Offical if you don't understand.....

[SBYRD5]

Well, I felt like being a teacher and schooling everyone that doesn't pay attention in Earth Science based classes.

So please ask me any question that you might not understand about Earth Science.(Random Insanity no flaming this topic is a little useless so what I'm bored)

[tupac2westsider]

Lol!!!!!!

U actually made a topic about plate tectonics!!!!!

Thats funny......Well i know everything i need about tectonics, but i got to see if u know ur stuff......

How many tectonic Plates are there in the world?

[SBYRD5]

Well, Tupac the term "tectonics" comes from the greek word "tektonikos" meaning "construction." There for tectonics is the study of the formation of features in the earth's crust.

Plate Tectonics is meanly a theory that not only describes continental movement,but also proposes a possible explanation of why andow continents move.

Tupac you said "Tell me how many Tectonic Plates there are?"
Now Plate Tectonics is a theory,but I think you are asking for how many layers there are in the earth's crust.

Here are the layers=

The earth consists of two types of crust which is=
Oceanic and Continental.

Lithosphere=Those two different crusts make up this layer.

Asthenosphere=The layer beneath lithosphere.

Now the earth has 4 major layers,but think you where reffering to the crust.

The answer= 2

Sorry to the Moderators if this image is to big.....

But its for education :buttrock:

Well seems there is more plates than u imagined.

The earth's surface is broken into seven large and many small moving plates. These plates, each about 50 miles thick, move relative to one another an average of a few inches a year. Three types of movement are recognized at the boundaries between plates: convergent, divergent and transform-fault.......

I live in California i should know alot about tectonic Plates

:laugh:

The closest Fault around here is the San Andreas Fault.......
Thats where the mayor earthquakes come from in California :)

[SBYRD5]

Yes Cali has is in an area where earthquakes are very likely to to happen.Interesting I thought there where only 7 Tectonic plates.Wait, I'm going to ask you something PRO.

Who was the scientist that proposed the theory of the "Continental Drift"?

[tupac2westsider]

Uh............... ???

It was some German guy named Alfred ____.......

His last name escapes me.

[kingofhearts]

how about something from chemistry?
hate that class

[mooo1]

wow... I never though i would see an educational thread...
:0 but since its here i might as well do you know why volcanoes erupt?

[SBYRD5]

Tupac the first name is correct his last name is Wegener.

Ok, Mooo1 first you must understand what is inside volcanoes.Don't answer with lava because would hav to say that is incorrect.Magma is lava before it is exposed to the earth's surface.

Now, to answer your question.The pressure from the movement of plates opens areas that lead to the earth's "mantal."The mantal is the layer below the earth's crust.Now we as the human race can never dig to the mantal because the heat is about 500 to 800 degrees there.So the way the rock from the mantal which is magma reaches the earth surfaces is by the pressure of the movement of the plates.

When I say plates don't mean the same plates as Tupac I'm talking about the "Plate Boundaries".There are three in all.

There names are =

Divergent Boundary
Convergent Boundary
Transformation Fault Boundary

Anymore questions if so I will break the proces down to you in a more simple way.

[SBYRD5]

Chemistry ehhh ok,

Name me atleast three chemical elements that are nonmetals.

Ok, for those still studying Earth Science.

In the image a few post above you will see animage of "Pangaea" brought to you by Tupacwestsider.

Now for the next question.

Surrounding Pangaea was a huge ocean.The ocean meant "all seas" So tell me what was the name of that ocean?

[QUIET_KILLER]

[color=blue:post_uid4]HmMm... Cough*Pacific I doubt it was the @tlantic.
Been a while forgot that answer.
Any way how many properties would be in a star.
This is just a ? out of curiosity :biggrin:[/color:post_uid4]

[bloodpack]

hey u want science question?k....which comes first...egg or chicken :)

[SBYRD5]

The answer to my question is Panthalassa.
Which was the body of water that Surrounded Pangaea.

Three chemical elements that are nonmetals=
Carbon monoxide(CO2)
Silicate
H2O(Water)

BloodPack=

Simple the preshistoric chicken which was a mammal or an dinosaur this is only a theory type question. (I forget it's name).Later it grew to the Chicken of today,and in which laid an egg.

Quiet Killer=

Ok, every basic organism has a nucleus.So first the star has a nucleus.Secound, there are protrons That give off positive energy.Electrons give off a negative eletric charge.Nuetrons are nuetral,but are needed to make an atom.So a star has perhaps to many atoms to count.

First for a star to form it's a nova cloud(Thats not the correct name but thats what it is).This is a star at it's baby stage.

Evenutally the star will get to the stage as our star we call the "sun".After this stage comes the stage known as "Red Gaint".Then comes White drawf the gravity is amazingly high..The last stage is Dark Drawf which is a black hole.

[princevegetam]

plate tectonics? pffftttt..... that's just too boring(not to mention easy)

1. what's a white hole?
2. what's hyperspace?
3. what's the 4th dimension?

[SBYRD5]

plate tectonics? pffftttt..... that's just too boring(not to mention easy)

1. what's a white hole?
2. what's hyperspace?
3. what's the 4th dimension?
Why are you asking questions princevegetam I know you understand this,but ok.

1)White hole

I'm not sure what that is,but I think I heard something about this.OK when a sun reaches it's last stage it can become a White hole or a Black Hole.A white hole has an amazing level of gravitional pull on the objects around it.The Dark Hole his the same affect,but instead the objects are sucked inside of a black hole,and crushed by the intense pressure.

2)Hyperspace

I am not sure,but I will try to answer it to the best of my ability.Hyperspace is a rate of speed travel in space.It is measured in a space time continuim fashion.To reach Hyperspace one would probaly need the use off the "4th Dimension."

3)4th Dimension

I'm not sure,but I will answer to the best of my knowing.The 4th Dimension is said to be reached by traveling through the black hole.

Now for my question=

"How did the Mesosaurus bones of Sao Paulo,Brazil and the Mesosaurus Fossil Bones of Western Africa provide evidence of continental drift?"

[princevegetam]

bahh.... i have nothing i don't really know but here goes:

1. how do antimatter engines work?
2. what happened to the dinosaurs?
3. are you gay? lol j/k

[SolidSnake76]

whats wrong with space? i can correctly answer any question about it.

[montalvo]

Three chemical elements that are nonmetals=
Carbon monoxide(CO2)
Silicate
H2O(Water)
Those are actually compounds. elements cant be broken down any further like: carbon, helium, and hydrogen and the rest of the periodical table of elements.

[bloodpack]

The answer to my question is Panthalassa.

i think thats the wrong answer, the question should be this...."which comes first, the hen or the egg?"...the answer is the ROOSTER!!! :laugh:

God created males first and then females and was blessed to procreate (see the bible/GENESIS), so which comes first?

FIRST: Rooster
SECOND: Hen
THIRD: Egg

hahhahahahhahahh :laugh:

[MIG]

Three chemical elements that are nonmetals=
Carbon monoxide(CO2)
Silicate
H2O(Water)
erm incase you havent noticed there not elements, and there are more than 3 non metal elemnts, i dont know all of them but some are, oxygen, hydrogen, argon, bromine and phosphorous, and i dont know how u got it wrong cos its some of the first stuff you learn in chemistry

[SBYRD5]

MIG I know that I said just name three not all off them.(I can't even do that off memory)

[kingofhearts]

Next question byrd of chemistry ...waiting

[SBYRD5]

King of heartz ok what elements make up water.
I think I gave the answer earlier.

This topic is going off topic. ???

[akuma_forever]

umm.how come the earth isnt a big ball of fire because of its core?how come the core magma doesnt leak out?(can you answer that?) :sly:

hydrogen oxegen (h o)
2 2

[kingofhearts]

"H2O", u should have least given me a challenge maybe like naming NH4 C2H3O2 can't write subscripts so they look like coefficients.

[SolidSnake76]

HCL+Zn=what?

[SBYRD5]

umm.how come the earth isnt a big ball of fire because of its core?how come the core magma doesnt leak out?(can you answer that?) :sly:

hydrogen oxegen (h o)
2 2
Simple back on subject,

The reason the world isn't a big ball of fire is because it's not.The world is made of crust and rock.There is a very thick layer of rock surrounding the mantal.Now, when there is a crack magma seeks through.Thats about it oh the earth gained such intense heat from the pressure of the plate boundaries I believe.

I think what I just said is wrong.

[SBYRD5]

No one wants to learn please close this topic......it's a shame education just aint popular. ???

[ULT1MATEWAR321]

WHAT THEY HECK DOES IT MATTER AS LONG AS IT STAYS IN THE CORE I COULDNT CARE BUT BACK ON THE SUBJECT AS MAGMA HEATS UP AND THE CURRANT PLATE I.E PACIFIC AND ANTARTIC PLATES MEET IT BUILDS UP PRESSURE DUE TO FRICTION WITCH CAUSES THE MAGMA TO SEEP THROUGH SO U GET ERRUPTIONS, SIMPLE I CANT REMEMBER THE 3RD PLATE ILL HAVE TO CHECK PS.THESE PLATES ARE CONSTANTLY MOVING DONT BELIEVE ME CHECK IT YOURSELF.

[SolidSnake76]

ok let get sum pple here smart sby. ur not the only one smart at science here:

-what is the ozone layer made of pple?
-why is it so important?
-how is the ozone, greenhouse effect and global warming linked?
-can the ozone be repaired?[i may know how...]
-how did pple get to north america during the ice age?
-what will happen to earth 5,000,000,000 years later?

now answer those.

[kingofhearts]

the ozone is made up of O3
the ozone layer is needed to stop UV rays from the sun
many chemicals being wasted destroy the ozone layer letting UV rays come in but don't let them come out creating the green house effect and global warming
until now noone nows how to make more ozone
Most people believe through the Baring Strait in between Alaska and Russia which was frozen over in the Ice Age
I don't think anyone can tell what is in the future

[SolidSnake76]

-correct
-correct
-CFC's destroy the ozone
-if i had the right stuff, i could expiriment and make O5
-it was a land brigde due to the lack of water in the oceans, they were at low levels
-i read that the sun will balloon into a red giant, heating earths surface to 2,000 degrees or higher.

[Venture]

:shocked:* looks around*...whoa u guyz sure know a heck of a lot about this subject than me....well.....anywayz....thx for filling me up with the info......heh..i used to suck...in science anywayz....so this place just aint for me......anywayz good topic....has a point...and is educative.....good job SBYRD .and supporters of the topiC !

[kingofhearts]

i know that CFC's chlorofluorocarbons destroy the ozone that is why they were banned in the 1970's
I wouldnt know if O5 would be possible because it has six valence electrons and needs 8 on each oxygen.
i have no idea about the sun it might turn into a red giant after its star life finishes which depends on how old the sun is.

Oh yeah Solid i don't think hydrochloric acid and zinc mix if they do what compound would it make

[SolidSnake76]

its been determined that the sun is 5,000,000,000 years old, earth: 4.2 billion. but the universe: 15,000,000,000. that gives me a thought:

-how hot was the temp during the big bang?
-is the universe slighty warm?
-is the universe still expanding?
-how was the sun formed?
-how much percent of dust was used for the creation of the sun? the planets?
-how big is the universe?

note: space your answers please.

[SolidSnake76]

Oh yeah Solid i don't think hydrochloric acid and zinc mix if they do what compound would it make
to answer that:

HCL+Zn-H=ZnCL.

it boils and the hydrogen is excreated.

[kingofhearts]

the only one i know is the universe is still expanding but some people also think of the Big Crunch after the universe stops and all the galaxies collide making another Big Bang.

ill have to look the other ones up

[SolidSnake76]

the only one i know is the universe is still expanding but some people also think of the Big Crunch after the universe stops and all the galaxies collide making another Big Bang.

ill have to look the other ones up
better go buy some books.

and give sum other pple a chance.

[kingofhearts]

That wouldn't be a natural reaction or a chemical reaction since it doesn't follow the principles of The Law of Conservation of Mass it maybe 2HCl + 2Zn= 2ZnCL + H2 so it is balanced looks like a single replacement, if it would combine

if anyone wanted to post they would have, its not like im holding them back :laughlong:

-they are all caused by corbon dioxide(exept for the ozone)
-not sure
- there was large strip of ice extendin from asia to north america around the northern region(the ppl walked on that when they crossed over)
-it'll be absorbed by the sun. The earth is actually expected to be absorbed by the sun in
3 billion years

[color=blue:post_uid6]This topic is interesting.
I say this because.
Well People all over the world.
As well as in different states and countrie's.
The book's issued out for and in education.

May have been rewritten or fixed.
Having new facts for science or for anything.
Else of that manner of element.
As well this is interesting.

Why cause if some one asked you.
For 1 million dollar's can you answer this ?.
About science or education.
Would you be walking home.
With a fat wallet HmMm... :biggrin: I guess not.

You mista sbyrd continue.
Posting on with this topic.
As well as any one else.
Who want's to learn.
If you can't stand the heat.
Get outa D Kitchen aight :lol: :biggrin:

I have a ? before I get out of this conversation.
Why is space black?
Why is the sky a reflection of space somewhat?
As well why can't their be a way.
To make a Ozone layer.
With out having to pollute it.
For it to form into one.

For Example Mars.
It to ah forget it neva mind.
I am just a dodo who had a straight B.

This world will get destroyed in 50-100 years. Why? Someone quote me, and I'll tell you.

[SolidSnake76]

This world will get destroyed in 50-100 years. Why? Someone quote me, and I'll tell you.
yeah why?

[machine1]

This world will get destroyed in 50-100 years. Why? Someone quote me, and I'll tell you.
ok ur quoted..lol so why ?

[TarkanX]

Why?

The Ozone layer is getting destroyed as I am typing, it's only going to get worse. the Ozone Layer protects us from Ultra violet Rays from the Sun, if we get hit by UV Rays, we get skin cancer. The Ozone depletion is the size of North America(I believe). I read an article that every year, the ozone layer gets depleted by 3%.

And also, we need plants to survive, without plants, the ozone layer gets worse. in 50 years, all the forrests will be destroyed, unless something is done.


I've got more to say, I'll be back in a few to post some more.

[machine1]

the ozone layer? o well not my fault people can be such dumbasses and destroy the ozone. hey it wont happen till we all die maybe. the thing that will probabably destroy everyone is when the polar ice caps all meltand all land goes under water. i cant wait :laughlong:

[SolidSnake76]

ur evil. it wont happen. i make sure of that.

[TarkanX]

ur evil. it wont happen. i make sure of that.
LOL

[ULT1MATEWAR321]

IF WE BELIVED THE WORLD WOULD END IN FIFTY YEARS OR 100 WE WOULDNT BOTHER BUT AS A MATTER OF FACT ALLTHOUGH THE OZONE LAYER IS BEING DEPLEATED THE PARTS OFF THE WORLD THERE DEPLEATED MORE IN ARE THE ONES ON THE EQUATOR , PLUS 50 TO 100 YEARS IS A UNDER-ESTIMATION FOR A START ALTHOUGH THE OZONE LAYER IS BIENG DEPLETED HUMANS CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT IT AS THE OZONE ONLY STOPS UV AND ULTRA IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH KEEPING AIR IN AND AS FOR THE RAIN FORESTS BEING ALL GONE IN 100 YEARS ,,,, HMM I WOULDNT HAVE THOUGHT SO AS WE HAVE MANY REGISTERED PLACES WHERE TREES ARE UNTOUCHED FOR INSTANCE THE LATEST ONE IS MADAGASCER ISLAND AND THERE ARE A LOT MORE TREE PRESUVATIONS WORLDWIDE IF THE EARTHS GONNA GO ITLL BE SOMETHING WE DONT EXPECT LIKE A COMET OR A ICE AGE...

[SolidSnake76]

also the ozone is linked to global warming i believe. look, i can repair the ozone. all i need is the right materials and research.

but it is believed it is gonna repair itself in half a century. (http://www.cnn.com/2000/NATURE/12/16/ozone/)

[TarkanX]

All we need to do is removie stack smoking factories, gas contained cars, and plant a hell of a lot more. Also, we need to stop litering. Tell your people to clean up! recycle, plant trees, or do something to save the environment!

At least we'll die before the end of the world


*Blackhole in the galixy, destroy the earth in something mill. years.*

[SolidSnake76]

trust me, i will save this planet. thats a promise.

[Squall87]

with Current Tech? I doubt is Snake, though if you do find a finding, I'd be surprised.

and you can't kill a Blackhole, there all gravity, crushing anything that dares enter them.

[SolidSnake76]

i not talking about the black hole. i need research about that. a WHOLE lot.

[Squall87]

Blackholes spawn when a supernova goes out in a very big way. *If I'm right*


and even if we don't hover toward it, there is the big crunch theory.

[kingofhearts]

in the other hand Big Crunch Theory there is the ever expanding universe theory.

[SBYRD5]

Blackholes spawn when a supernova goes out in a very big way. *If I'm right*


and even if we don't hover toward it, there is the big crunch theory.
Incorrect,

A Black hole is a spawned form an old star. Let me explain the levels of a star again.

Nucleus Nova=The name is not corect,but stars are born from cloud like figures in space.The cloud compresses and forms...

Stage 1=This is the infant stage of a star.The star is to wild,and spreads it's heat to wildly at this stage.

The Sun=This is the stage are star is at it is more matured at this stage,and spreads it's heat and gravity evenly.

Red Gaint=I may have spelled that incorrectly,but his is the star at it's largest form.At this stage the star is considered to be at the adulthood of it's life spand.

White Drawf=This stage is some times skipped,but it is know as a White hole or an hig gravity star.The gravity of this stage is very powerful.

Dark Drawf A.K.A Black Hole=This is the final stage of a star.But to see a Black hole makes you ralize that this universe is perhaps more than a trillion and plus years old.

[SBYRD5]

in the other hand Big Crunch Theory there is the ever expanding universe theory.
I don't beleive that theory everthing ends eventually even the universe.

[princevegetam]

wrong SBYRD, now let me explain how a star is born and dies

there's two types of stars, one is the type our sun is and the other is damn, i forgot its name, lol.

anyways,

Process of a star like our sun:

nebula: infant stage of star, when it's still giant clouds of hydrogen

next, it starts to become very dense and heat up, and eventually, nuclear fusion occurs in which hydrogen atoms are fused into helium

after all these other stages of the star(i won't go into specifics, since i don't have much time)

it becomes red giant, like you described SBYRD

then it becomes a helphoid(can't remember what it's called) where there is very little hydrogen left and most of the star is helium, and the helium starts to fuse with itself into carbon.

and then finally it becomes neutron star(a.k.a white dwarf) with extreme gravity because the red giant's core collapses on itself

The other type of star's process:

the star pretty much follows the same process, except it becomes a supernova instead of a red giant. the supernova goes through the same thing, except it has a possibility to become a black hole or a pulsar.

anyways, a blackhole's tremendous gravity CAN infact cause a nearby star to go nova.

u read my thoughts after a redgiant comes a white dwarf a huge star or neutron star about a city size star which is really dense after a supernova a black hole or a pulsar

[tupac2westsider]

Ok since u guys are really smart i want to know........

Is the Universe Exanding?

and if its true then how did they find that out?

And who found it out?

Oh and another question is.........

Why do fools fall in love??

Prince is correct I wasn't complete in my thoughts on that.

Tupac I think the Universe is still expanding because of the heat that is still given off from the Explosion that made the Universe.This theory is called "The Big Bang Theory".It basicly states that the universe was perhaps very compressed at one time.The pressure made a massive explosion that thus created the planets and etc.

Now, some of you are wondering how did life begin on earth.Ok, I'm going to give the scientific answer even though I'm a christian.There was a lake on earth after the molten rock cooled to from natural rock.My guess is that the lake was made by the ice in space.

Well, anyway in that lake,pond,etc.There was bacteria the first form of life.This bacteria evolved and so on.

Fools fall in love(That is not a science based question)

Because there names say it all,but a real answer is that there attraction for who ever grows so strong that there willing to make hardships for them self to see the other recieve affection or joy.

[princevegetam]

okay, here is a question for all you "scientists"

tell me how you would define a living being.

what facts would you base on to determine whether a "thing" is living or not?

(don't give me retarded answers like: well, use your common sense!)

[SolidSnake76]

if it breaths, eats, move around, sleep and is composed of cells, not molecules, its a living thing.

cell: the smallest unit of living things. e.g.: skin cells, muscle cells, white blood cells.
molecule: a non-living substance. e.g.: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen.

molecules are also in the periodic table of elements. there are currently 118 elements. who can name them all?

[princevegetam]

uh... actually i think almost all living beings are made out of molecules.

cells: what is it made out of? molecules of carbon and other stuff

molecules: not elements, but multiple elements combined together

e.g. water has molecules, oxygen doesn't have molecules, it has atoms

[ether]

yall kinda smart damn didn't see that one coming
:0

[Squall87]

Actually, my theory on Smallest living thing is diffrent.

*Booting up First year Chem. Honors student*


Well, Snake is right, Cells are the smallest unit of life, but my theory is, what are the cells made of?

Basically, in the human body we are mostly made up of Water. Which is what children? H20


*points at Electron Dot Diagram*

So you see, Living things are made up of basically O2 and H, otherwise why would we always have to have something to drink after running a marathon or something simliar to that effect

*and meh, I forgot what I was going to say with the electron dot diagram.*-_-

[SolidSnake76]

uh... actually i think almost all living beings are made out of molecules.

cells: what is it made out of? molecules of carbon and other stuff

molecules: not elements, but multiple elements combined together

e.g. water has molecules, oxygen doesn't have molecules, it has atoms
molecules are elements. go look it up.

[Squall87]

O is a ELEMENT

A Molecule is a bond of a Element to another Element

Atoms are Nu-, Pro-, and Elec- trons

and Snake had to edit his post. :biggrin: well, I'll leave it up for others.

[SolidSnake76]

your all WRONG.

a molecule is made up of three subtances:

protron
neutron
electron

now hydrogen is made up of one protron, one neutron and one electron.
oxygen has eight.

now put two oxygen molecules and one hydrogen molecule together and you got a compound. a compound is two or more elements mixed or fused together. and a element is a molecule.

erm no...

molecule

\Mol"e*cule\, n. [Dim. fr. L. moles a mass: cf. F. mol['e]cule. See 3d Mole.] 1. One of the very small invisible particles of which all matter is supposed to consist.

2. (Physics) The smallest part of any substance which possesses the characteristic properties and qualities of that substance, and which can exist alone in a free state.

3. (Chem.) A group of atoms so united and combined by chemical affinity that they form a complete, integrated whole, being the smallest portion of any particular compound that can exist in a free state; as, a molecule of water consists of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Cf. Atom.

If you don't believe me, go here. (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=molecule)


and an element is made of Nu, Pro, and Electrons.

Atom

\At"om\, n. [L. atomus, Gr. ?, uncut, indivisible; 'a priv. + ?, verbal adj. of ? to cut: cf. F. atome. See Tome.] 1. (Physics) (a) An ultimate indivisible particle of matter. (b) An ultimate particle of matter not necessarily indivisible; a molecule.

now, you are just sounding plain foolish solidsnake.

if a molecule is made up of a neutron, proton and electron, then what's an atom?

you should seriously pay attention in science class. i mean, go look up the meaning of atom and molecule anywhere and it'll prove my point. here is the REAL meaning of everything:

an element is made up of atoms. an atom is made up of neutrons, protons and electrons(they're not called substances, they're called subatomic particles).

a compound is made up of molecules. molecules are made up of atoms joint together.

*cough* my post above yours *cough* :biggrin:


and your right on everything except the bond, I thought that was only bonding by electrons. ??? *then agian, I'm a first year chem. student, so correct me if I'm wrong*

[princevegetam]

yes, i did not go into specifics. but they do bond by sharing electrons.

[Squall87]

Thought so. :biggrin:

now what topic shall we move onto? The meaning of life?

[SolidSnake76]

I hope that clears up your mind that a compound is a atom.
what the hell? you been smoking?

atom: the smallest portion of matter composed of a heavy nucleus composed of neutrons and protronsheld together by a strong nuclear force surrounded by a cloud of electrons.

compound: made up of seperate subtances. something made up from thing combined together. to make by combining elements.

elements: one of the simplest parts into which something can be divided. each is considered to contain atoms.

molecule: the smallest amount of a chemical element or compound which can exist while attaining the characteristics properties of the subtance.

u wanna go in the dictionary, i go in the dictionary too.

elements are molecules, molecules have atoms, atoms have protrons, neutrons and electron.

you should seriously pay attention in science class. i mean, go look up the meaning of atom and molecule anywhere and it'll prove my point. here is the REAL meaning of everything

AND DONT YOU DARE SAY I HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION IN SCIENCE CLASS CAUSE I ALWAYS DO. i know more about any science topic than you.

insulting my intellegence, who u think u are? queen latifia?

[princevegetam]

my my getting emotional again?

1. i didn't know you were so easily offended
2. i was only trying to point out your mistake
3. read before you post, cause that dictionary definition you just posted totally contradicts what you posted earlier
4. here is how it goes

protons+neutrons+electrons=

atom

a bunch of atoms with the same number of protons neutrons and electrons are called: elements

atom+atom+atom=

molecule

a bunch of molecules that forms a substance is called: compound

molecules can be elements, but elements are not necessarily molecules. take water for example:

water=hydrogen+oxygen

water molecules are the result of two elements, not one.

now to go back to the original topic we were discussing.

human cells are made from molecules and atoms, why? cause everything in the universe is made from molecules and atoms (except for certain parts of the electromagnetic spectrum).

[SolidSnake76]

know what...

i dont care anymore. you two idiots just do whatever you want.

[kingofhearts]

princevegetam how can molecules be elements if elements make up molecules thats what u posted right. One element can never be a molecule like O2 its called a diatomic element as well as H,F,Cl, and all the other Halogenes.

finally, sum1 on my side. help me clear this up.

[princevegetam]

molecules are elements. go look it up.
no one is on your side, you perposed that arguement in the first place(once again, i must reiterate that you read before posting).

yes, an element can be molecules, such as those found in the ozone layer. oxygen molecules with three oxygen atoms in one place.

[kingofhearts]

true but but not really considered a molecule but more like and allotrope of Oxygen

[princevegetam]

it doesn't state in the definition of a molecule that atoms of the same element can't combine together

[kingofhearts]

it sure doesnt

[ant_the_whore]

ok try this one how many volcanoes in the pacific ring of fire?

good one?

[SolidSnake76]

over 100

[SBYRD5]

your all WRONG.

a molecule is made up of three subtances:

now hydrogen is made up of one protron, one neutron and one electron.
oxygen has eight.

now put two oxygen molecules and one hydrogen molecule together and you got a compound. a compound is two or more elements mixed or fused together. and a element is a molecule.
Oh now I understand what your saying compounds are made of molecules.Compounds being two or more elements combined.

Elements are basic they're not made unless there an compound like I stated earlierin this post.

Yes, molecules are constructed of that.

Oh now I understand even better.Yes, certian elments are made of molecules,but that is very basic.

Cells, are the smallest building orgasim of any organic structure.
