Answer:

speed = 1037.5 miles per hour

day and night will be more longer

and in day temperature will be increase

and in night low temperature will be low

Explanation:

given data

circumference of Earth = 24,900 miles

to find out

how fast someone at the equator is rotating in miles per hour

solution

we know that speed is

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

we assume time for one rotation is 23:56:04 that is equal to 23.934 hours per day and we consider around 24 hours per day

so

from equation 1

speed = \frac{24900}{24}

speed = 1037.5 miles per hour

and if the rotational speed of Earth were to slow down then rotation time will be longer than 24 hours per day

so day and night will be more longer

and in day temperature will be increase

and in night low temperature will be low

Question 13(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points) Which of the following does not accompany volcanic activity in the Pacific Northwest
svetoff [14.1K]

Ocean ridge does not accompany volcanic activity in the Pacific Northwest.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In this process the denser oceanic plate force the thinner continental plate to sink into the mantle. This region is referred as subduction zone, where it results in intense volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

The denser Pacific plate sinks because of the chunk pull impact and it likewise prompts the development of mountains. This sort of impact creates profound center seismic tremors.

It isn't related with the maritime edge as the mid-maritime edge shapes in a disparate plate limit.  In the Pacific Northwest , the volcanic activity  is carried out by the geological process majorly by subduction.
