Volcanoes are formed ________. question 3 options:

1 answer:

7 0

I think the correct answer is C. Volcanoes are formed in subduction zones or in rift valleys. They are formed when hot magma within the upper mantle of the Earth would work way up the surface. As it reaches the surface, an eruption would happen forming lava flows and deposits of ash. As it continues to erupt, it would grow bigger and bigger. These would form commonly in divergence or convergence tectonic plates. On Earth, there are about 1500 volcanoes that are active. About 80 of these can be found under the oceans. The active ones are mostly found in washington, oregon, alaska, california and hawaii.

Answer:

Gravitational pull

Explanation:

There are four fundamental forces in nature:

- Gravitational force: it is an attractive force exerted between all objects having mass. Its magnitude is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between electrically charged object. It can be either attractive ore repulsive. Its magnitude is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the force responsible for holding protons and neutrons together in the nuclei of the atoms. It is attractive and acts only on a very short scale.

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for certain nuclear decay processes (radioactivity).

In this problem, landslides occur when certain masses of terrain are attracted towards the ground - they are attracted because of the gravitational force.

So, the correct answer is

gravitational pull

What is the "address" of the earth in the Cosmo

This inaugural journey may be slow-going for those who already know their way around the solar system, as our place in it is explained by a “cosmic address” (Earth<span>, solar system, Milky Way, local group, Virgo supercluster, observable universe), but interest will be held by the sharp and mesmerizing graphics.</span>
