Answer:
5.A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.
6.The Nazca plate is an oceanic plate, while the South American plate is continental. The fast moving Nazca plate is moving east towards the South American plate at a downward angle and converging. This process is called subduction, resulting in frequent earthquakes & production of the Andes Mountains.
7.The Nazca plate forms the southeastern part of the Pacific plate. The Nazca and the Pacific plate share both divergent and transform type of plate boundary. The Pacific and the Nazca plate are separating at an increasing rate of about 122-142mm/year.
8.Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.
Explanation:
Answer:
A. kinetic energy
B. angular velocity
E. angular position
Explanation:
The quantities that cannot be constant if a constant net torque is exerted on an objecta are:
A. Kinetic energy. If a torque is applied, the linear or angular speed will be changing at a rate proportional to the torque, so the kinetic energy will change too.
B. Angular velocity. It will change at a rate equal to the torque.
C. Angular position. If the angular velocity changes, the angular position will change.
Answer:
<u>A:cool fluid sinks</u>
<u>B:warm fluid rises</u>
<u>C:convection current</u>
Explanation:
Just took the assessment!!
Find the average speed and the average velocity.
Average speed = distance / time
distance = 10 x 8000 m = 80,000 m
time = 20 min * 60 s/min = 1200 s
Average speed = 80,000 m / 1200 s = 66.67 m/s
Average velocity = displacement / time
Given that the race car made complete circles the final poin is the same initial point, then its displacement is zero and the average velocity is zero too.
I guess it’s B cause that maybe is the output
