The speed of the space craft relative to the earth is given as: 0.024c. This is solved using the the equation for time dilation.

<h3>What is time dilation?</h3>

Time dilation is the "slowing down" of a clock as determined by an observer in relative motion with regard to that clock under the theory of special relativity.

The formula is given as :

Δt = [Δr]/ √ 1 - (v²/c²)

Thus,

v = c√1 - (Δr/Δt)²

= c √(1 - (3600/3601)²

v = 0.024c

in which place does subduction occur? a. at transform boundaries b. where two plates move apart c. at most normal faults d. wher
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer;

D. where two plates collide

Explanation;

-Subduction zones are plate tectonic boundaries where two plates converge, and one plate is thrust beneath the other. This process results in geohazards, such as earthquakes and volcanoes.

-Subduction zone volcanism occurs where two plates are converging on one another. One plate containing oceanic lithosphere descends beneath the adjacent plate, thus consuming the oceanic lithosphere into the earth's mantle. This on-going process is called subduction.
