The Hawaiian Islands and their volcanoes exist because of a source of magma from where?

A failed arm of a triple junction rift zone is known as a:

Which real-world geographical location is a prime example of an oceanic-continental collision?

Is there anything you’re worried that may get in the way of your success in this course?

I will check my Normandale (Minnstate) email AND the D2L announcements daily during this course.  I understand that this is where some of the most important personal communication will happen.

I know that if I have questions on any of the above, I should do the following: 1. Re-read the information posted on D2L…the answer might already be there 🙂 if I am still not sure, then… 2. Email or Text Nicole  and ask her.

I understand that the lecture content of this course is online, in the format of video links.  Watching and taking notes on all lecture videos is required in this course.

I understand that there are online quizzes AND online exams in this course. AND I will ensure I am available for my final exam (3 hours).  Monday Dec 15th 11:00am-1:50pm.

This diagram depicts the energies of a few shells (energy levels) for the atom that produced the spectrum above. Image Description Diagram of five lines to represent energy levels drawn horizontally. N=1 is at the bottom and n=5 is at the top. Starting from the top, the line n=5 is shown. Moving downward, there is a small gap between the lines n=5 and n=4, a slightly larger gap between n=4 and n=3, an even larger gap between n=3 and n=2, and a very large gap is shown between n=2 and n=1. Which of the following situations would cause the atom to emit the highest frequency photon?

In an early experiment that helped determine the nature of atoms, gas was enclosed in a long, narrow glass tube. A metal plate near one end of the tube was given a large positive charge, and a plate at the other end was given a large negative charge. The particles that collected at each end of the tube were studied. Thomson’s plum pudding model was developed as a result of these experiments. What was discovered about atoms as a result of these experiments?
