Caused by the very hot material at the deepest part of the mantle rising, then cooling, sinking again and then heating, rising and repeating the cycle over and over.
It is the movements within the Earth's mantle caused by the heat of the core. The region where two or more tectonic plates meet.

sammy [17]

Answer:

$k_{eq} = \frac{k}{N}$

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use hooke's law

F = - k x

where x is the displacement from the equilibrium position.

x = $- \frac{F}{k}$

if we have several springs in series, the total displacement is the sum of the displacement for each spring, F the external force applied to the springs

x_ {total} = ∑ x_i

we substitute

x_ {total} = ∑ -F / ki

F / k_ {eq} = -F $\sum \frac{1}{k_i}$

$\frac{1}{k_{eq}} = \frac{1}{k_i}$ 1 / k_ {eq} = ∑ 1 / k_i

if all the springs are the same

k_i = k

$\frac{1}{k_{eq}} = \frac{1}{k} \sum 1 \\$

$\frac{1}{k_{eq} } = \frac{N}{k}$

$k_{eq} = \frac{k}{N}$

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The main difference between a liquid and a gas is that when a liquid is under pressure, its volume "won't change apparently. The reason is that the distance between the molecules of a liquid is relatively small, and the molecules of a liquid extensively withstand the compressive forces. This is similar to the distance between the molecules of a solid."
