Subduction zones form when an oceanic plate collides with another oceanic plate or continental plate. The continental crust is l

ighter and less dense than oceanic crust. Continental crust's density is approximately 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter. Oceanic crust is thinner and the average density is about 3.3 cubic centimeters. When the two crustal plates converge the oceanic plate always bends and subducts beneath a continental plate. Once the oceanic crust subjects, the rocks are subjected to changes in heat and pressure. Because of this, we would expect to find ___________ rocks in the area of a subduction.

The answer is; metamorphic

Occurs when igneous and sedimentary rocks are subjected to extreme temperatures and pressure such that their chemical composition changes. Examples of metamorphic rocks are; marble (that metamorphoses from limestone rock), quartzite (from sandstone). Other types of metamorphic rock include gneiss and schist.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Igneous rocks could form at points B or C. Intrusive means the rock formed inside of the Earth and that would be at point B

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a small vehicle compared to a large vehicle?
Zarrin [17]
<span>The kinetic energy is the work done by the object due to its motion. It is represented by the formula of the half the velocity squared multiply by the mass of the object. In this problem, you have two  vehicles, the other one is large and the other one is small. Let us assume that they travel with the same velocity. Note that the kinetic energy is proportional to the mass of the object. So when you increase the mass of the other, it also increases the kinetic energy of that object. The same holds true for the two vehicles. The larger the vehicle, its kinetic energy is also large and therefore its stopping distance will be longer than that of the smaller vehicle.</span>

If a certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.33 x 10^14Hz what is the energy of exactly one photon of this light. Is this as
geniusboy [140]
In calculating the energy of a photon of light, we need the relationship for energy and the frequency which is expressed as:
 
E=hv

where h is the Planck's constant (6.626 x 10-34 J s)and v is the frequency.
E = 6.626 x 10-34 J s (<span>7.33 x 10^14 /s) = 4.857 x 10^-19 J</span>

Inside a freely falling runaway elevator, your
nasty-shy [4]

The answer is apparent weight is zero.

You are still accelerating downwards at 9.8m/s^2 (if you are on Earth).

You still are being affected by the Earth's gravity.

Not all because of the previous two statements.

Not none because apparent weight is zero as you are falling.

Assume that an intercontinental ballistic missile goes from rest to a suborbital speed of 6.50 km/s in 60.0 s (the actual speed
olasank [31]

Answer:

Average acceleration is (11.05)g\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity, u = 0

Final velocity, v = 6.5 km/s = 6500 m/s

Time taken, t = 60 s

Acceleration, a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{v}{t}  

a=\dfrac{6500\ m/s}{60}  

a=108.33\ m/s^2

Since, g=9.8\ m/s^2

So, a=(11.05)g\ m/s^2

So, the angular acceleration of the missile is (11.05)g\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.
