Would earthquakes occur at a depth of over 700 kilometers? why or why not
neonofarm [45]

Earthquakes can occur at depths of over 700 km.

Explanation:

The earthquakes are a natural hazard which is associated with boundaries of the tectonic plates. The majority of the earthquakes occur at convergent and transforming plate boundaries. The reason as to why the earthquakes occur at these places is because of the pressure between the colliding or sliding plates, where the crust cracks and during the adjustment the force created is manifested with strong vibrations.

In general, the earthquakes occur at depths between 20 and 50 km, which is usually the depth where the plates create the most pressure upon each other. That is not to say that that is the only range where earthquakes occur, as they can occur anywhere from the surface of Earth and down to 800 km in depth. With other words, the earthquakes occur anywhere from the top of the lithosphere to the top of the astenosphere. Earthquake hot-spots are:

  • Ring of Fire
  • Mediterranean
  • northern Turkey
  • western Southwest Asia

Ray UW is the angle bisector of VUT. If mVUW = (4x + 6)° and mWUT = (6x – 10)°, what is the measure of WUT?
Vladimir79 [104]
The angle bisector cuts the angle exactly in half.
So the two angles are equal.
4x+6=6x-10. Solve for x
2x=16
x=8
So WUT is 6x-10=6(8)-10=48-10=38

The answer is 38 degrees

Observe the west coasts of North and South America. Mountain ranges dominate the landscape along these coastlines. What is the m
Yuri [45]

Because many mountain dominate the landscape along the coastlines, the most likely tectonic boundary to have created these ranges is the convergent boundary.

<h3>What is the convergent boundary?</h3>

A convergent boundary refers to a plate boundary where two or more lithospheric plates collide together.

In conclusion, as the plates collide, its made a plate eventually slides beneath the other which creates subduction.
