How are hot spots used to track plate motion

2 answers:

A hot plate is an adjustable heating source which is ideal for heating beakers, erlenmeyer flasks, hot water baths, and other flat-bottomed containers. It is essentially an el…ectric stove top that is used in the laboratory. The temperature is adjustable (usually on a scale of 0 to 10) and there is very often a built in spinning magnetic stirrer (to be used in combination with a magnetic star bar) so that you can efficiently stir a solution while heating it. Some have computer controllers to maintain the temperature at an exact level (for instance when using a water or oil bath). A hot plate or heating mantle should always be used in place of a Bunsen burner or other open-flame source to heat a flammable liquid.

Hot spots are fixed locations in the earth's mantle where heat from the earth's interior rises to the surface and produces volcanism. the earth's plates, which are slowly but constantly moving, are pierced by the uprising magma. as they move away form the hotspot, the volcanoes become dormant and are replaces by new volcanoes. The direction of the line formed from the previous volcanoes indicates the direction :)))

What type of animals does Dr. Grant study?

Rasek [7]

Dr. Alan Grant is the main protagonist in Jurassic Park, with the book written primarily from his perspective. He is a paleontology professor at the University of Denver and receives research funding from the Hammond Foundation. He became a world-renowned paleontologist after discovering dinosaur nest fossils in Montana. Billionaire John Hammond chooses Dr. Grant to evaluate his dinosaur amusement park because of his professional expertise and unbiased opinion on dinosaurs.

How do I differentiate between final and initial velocity in Physics?

pychu [463]

Answer:

Initial velocity describes how fast an object travels when gravity first applies force on the object. On the other hand, the final velocity is a vector quantity that measures the speed and direction of a moving body after it has reached its maximum acceleration.

A circular parallel plate capacitor is constructed with a radius of 0.52 mm, a plate separation of 0.013 mm, and filled with an

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

289282

Explanation:

r = Radius of plate = 0.52 mm

d = Plate separation = 0.013 mm

A = Area = $\pi r^2$

V = Potential applied = 2 mV

k = Dielectric constant = 40

$\epsilon_0$ = Electric constant = $8.854\times 10^{-12}\ \text{F/m}$

Capacitance is given by

$C=\dfrac{k\epsilon_0A}{d}$

Charge is given by

$Q=CV\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{k\epsilon_0AV}{d}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{40\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}\times\pi \times (0.52\times 10^{-3})^2\times 2\times 10^{-3}}{0.013\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow Q=4.6285\times 10^{-14}\ \text{C}$

Number of electron is given by

$n=\dfrac{Q}{e}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{4.6285\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n=289281.25\ \text{electrons}$

The number of charge carriers that will accumulate on this capacitor is approximately 289282.
