The map shows an island arc in Alaska named the Aleutian Arc. What does the arc suggest about its surrounding geographic region?
nexus9112 [7]
We see that this is a region near the continents, so it is probable that there is the boundary of a tectonic plates around there. Since there are islands there, it is quite probable that there is a subduction zone near them which means that the oceanic crust is going below the continental one and the continental is slowly elevated. This also shows that the boundary is convergent, since transform boundaries do not lead to elevation. Near convergent boundaries, there are frequently volcanoes and shallow earthquakes. Finally, the climate near Alaska is cold and this does not depend on whether islands are near a boundary or not. So, 2 4 and 5 are correct.

What is the force exerted on an object if it experiences 1000 Pa of pressure over an area of 25 m2? NO UNIT, NO COMMA, AND NO DE
rodikova [14]

Answer:

F = 25000 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Pressure exerted by the object, P = 1000 Pa

Area of cross section, A = 25 m²

We need to find the force exerted on an object. The pressure exerted by an object is equal to the force acting per unit area. So,

P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\F=P\times A\\\\F=1000\ Pa\times 25\ m^2\\\\F=25000\ N

So, the force exerted on an object is 25000 N.
