Answer:

Explanation:

The uplift caused a wide range of elevations and climates in the Sierra Nevada, which are reflected by the presence of five life zones (areas with similar plant and animal communities).

This question may require more information to provide a more accurate answer.

A fault block mountain range is formed by tension as rocks are pulled away from each other. A fault block is a section of rock bounded on at least two sides by faults.
Faults commonly break the crust into large, fault bounded blocks. If normal faults down drop one fault block relative to other blocks on either side, the resulting feature is called a Graben.
A block that is uplifted relative to blocks in either side is called a horst.

What type of motion does the galaxy go through
Mariana [72]

Well, it depends. Your latitude on Earth--that is, how close you are to the equator--and the time of year make a difference. I'll explain why. Your motion is made up of four pieces: the rotation of the Earth on its axis, the motion of the Earth around the Sun, the Sun's orbit about the center of the galaxy, and the motion of the whole galaxy.

A mass on a spring vibrates in simple harmonic motion at an amplitude of 8.0 cm. If the mass of the object is 0.20 kg and the sp
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Frequency, f = 3.73Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a simple harmonic 6is given by:

f = w/2pi

But w= Sqrt( k/m)

Where k is the spring constant

And m is the mass

Given:

Mass=0.20kg

Spring constant, k=130N/m

w= Sqrt(130/0.20)

w= Sqrt(650)

w= 25.50 m

Frequency, f = w/2pi

f = 25.50/(2×3.142)

f = 3.73Hz

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

30m/s

Explanation:

  • Use formula for height calculation: Time = √2h/√g
  • From here calculate height which comes out to be: 45m(if g is taken 10)
  • Then use formula for velocity calculation: v = √2gh

  • The velocity comes out to be 30m/s

What pollutant forms when automobile emissions react with oxygen gas and ultraviolet rays?
creativ13 [48]

Ozone is a molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms. When high-energy ultraviolet rays strike ordinary oxygen molecules (O2), they split the molecule into two single oxygen atoms, known as atomic oxygen. A freed oxygen atom then combines with another oxygen molecule to form a molecule of ozone.  Hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides come from great variety of industrial and combustion processes. Motor vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents are some of the major sources of NOx and VOC that acts as a precursor of ozone. In urban areas, the number of automobiles are more and therefore, more production of such harmful gases. These gases in presence of sunlight leads to the formation of bad ozone.
