You are asked to build some models of methane molecules for a science fair. You will arrange your model atoms as shown on the right, but you will use ping-pong balls and tennis balls to model hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms. If you have 12 ping-pong balls, how many tennis balls will you need? Use the model you just developed to justify your answer. A model of methane with a large black sphere in the center and four small half sphere attached equidistantly around it.

1) earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) the plates are called tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) they can move because earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) volcanoes are a result of magma rising up or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) plates may also collide. (8) when that happens, mountain ranges are formed. (9) for example, the collision of the plate carrying the indian subcontinent created the himalayan mountains when it collided with the asian plate. which statement about this paragraph is accurate?
