The missing word here is <u>Asthenosphere.</u><u> </u>

The convection in the asthenosphere directly propels the tectonic plates of the earth.


Did you know that the asthenosphere is thought to remain malleable because of heat from deep within the Earth? It is thought to be lubricating the earth's tectonic plates' undersides and enabling movement.


The older, denser portions of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones are stored in the asthenosphere, according to the theory of plate tectonics.

The lithosphere above is stressed by convection currents, and the cracking that frequently results manifests as earthquakes.

Magma is forced upward through volcanic vents and spreading centers by convection currents produced within the asthenosphere, which also results in the formation of new crust.

I kinda don’t know how to solve this I need help.
NemiM [27]

Answer:

the answer is 11 N left

Explanation:

there is more force being applied in the direction left, so the ball will move left. to find the net force that the ball will move in that direction subtract the force being applied in the opposite direction. so, 16N-5N=11N. your answer in 11 N left.

Which of these rotational quantities is analogous to mass in a linear system?
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

i think it is rotational inertia

because analogue of mass in rotational motion is moment of inertia. It plays the same role as mass plays in transnational motion.  

hope it's right & helps !!!!!!!!!

What is the resistance (R) when voltage is 179V and current is 5 Amps?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

R = 35.8 Ω

Explanation:

Recall Ohm's Law:

V = I * R

then R = V / I

in our case:

R = 179 V / 5 A = 35.8 Ω

A 3.0 kg box is suspended by a series of ropes as shown below. The tension force in the horizontal rope is -40 N. What is the te
Nitella [24]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Let the force in the horizontal rope be F₁ and the force in the diagonal rope be F₂:

The total force in the horizontal and vertical directions must be zero, since the object is at rest and is not accelerating.

The horizontal component of the forces:

F₁ + F₂ = -40N + F₂ = 0

F₂ = 40N

The vertical component of the forces:

F₁ + F₂ - mg = 0 + F₂ - mg = 0

F₂ = mg

If I assume the gravitational constant g = 10 m/s²:

F₂ = (3 kg) * (10 m/s²) = 30N

Adding the horizontal and vertical components of the force F₂:

F₂ = √((40N)² + (30N)²) = 50N
