Physics

3 0

Answer:

Temperature is the kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

Explanation:

The more kinetic energy a particle has the higher it's temperature. In the case of the atmosphere, which is what we are primarily concerned with in Meteorology, we measure this using a mercury thermometer (in certain situations we use an alcohol thermometer and of course modern times have given us things like dewcells and digital thermometers but we always go back to the mercury thermometer for accuracy).

Which type of plate boundary or zone would be most likely to lead to above-ground volcanic activity?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Convergent plate boundary

Explanation:

The convergent plate boundary refers to the type of boundary where two plates move towards each other. Due to this type of motion, there forms a subduction zone, where the denser plate subducts below the lighter plate. This zone of subduction is commonly identified by the presence of a deep and narrow V-shaped depression which is commonly known as the oceanic trench.

When the subducting plate enters into the region of the asthenosphere, the rocks melt and mix with the magma. This magma is then pushed upward due to the force exerted by the convection current that forms in the mantle, and further reaches the over-riding plate and eventually give rise to the formation of volcanoes and volcanic/island arcs.

Thus, this type of plate boundary is responsible for the formation of above-ground volcanic activities.

What is one characteristic of the convection inside the sun?
andrew11 [14]

Answer: 3- Large cells of rising and sinking gasses

Explanation: Hotter gas coming from the radiative zone expands and rises through the convective zone. It can do this because the convective zone is cooler than the radiative zone and therefore less dense. As the gas rises, it cools and begins to sink again. As it falls down to the top of the radiative zone, it heats up and starts to rise. This process repeats, creating convection currents and the visual effect of boiling on the Sun's surface.

13.6g

136g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Density of mercury = 13.6g/cm³

Unknown:

Mass of :

1cm³ of mercury

10cm³ of mercury

Solution:

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance. It is the amount of matter in a given volume.

   Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Since the unknown in the problem is mass;

    Mass = density x volume

Mass of  1cm³ of mercury = 13.6 x 1 = 13.6g

Mass of  10cm³ of mercury = 10 x 13.6 = 136g

Energy from the Sun arrives at the top of the Earth's atmosphere with an intensity of 1.36 kW/m 2 . How long does it take for 3.
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The time taken by 3.55\times 10^9\ J to arrive on an area of 4.25\ m^2 is 6.14\times 10^5\ seconds.

Explanation:

Given the intensity of the energy is 1.36\ kW/m^2

And the arriving energy is 3.55\times 10^9\ J

Also, the area in which energy is being arriving is 4.25\ m^2

Now, we will use relation between energy (E), intensity of energy (p), area (A) and time (T).

Where energy is in Joule, intensity is in kW/m^2, area is in m^2 and time is in seconds.

The equation is

E=pAT\\\\T=\frac{E}{pA}\\\\T=\frac{3.55\times 10^9}{1.36\times 10^3\times 4.25}\\\\T=0.614\times 10^6\ s\\T=6.14\times 10^5\ seconds

So, the time taken by 3.55\times 10^9\ J to arrive on an area of 4.25\ m^2 is 6.14\times 10^5\ seconds.
