Explanation:

  • As explained above the ring is a circle of the volcanoes that is surrounded by the pacific ocean and encompasses the trenches and the form an area of 40,000 km and has more than 542 volcanoes. As said about 90% of the volcanic eruption occurs in this zone.
  • This zone stretches from the tip of the Andes mountain s to the end f the new Zealand islands. This ring of fire results for the subduction of the two plates that tend to collide with each other and also the presence of the Mariana tench zone on the western side is an important zone for this tectonic activity.
  • <u>About 17% of the major earthquakes occur in this zone, and also the presence of the San Andreas fault also lies near the pacific ring of fire.</u>

Which of the following statements best characterizes how developed and developing countries impact the environment?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Both developed and developing countries have had significant negative impacts on the environment.

Explanation:

The environment has been very badly affected by human activity. The negative effect has been present for a very long time, progressively becoming more and more serious, but since the start of the Industrial Revolution it has exponentially increased and the effects have been horrific. While there are differences between the impact of developed and developing countries, the fact is that both have had significant negative impacts.

The now developed countries were actually the first ones to start with massive impact on the environment, which was a result of the usage of fossil fuels, rapid economic growth, and constantly growing demand for natural resources. The developing countries have started off later with their massive impact, but it has had the same results. While the developed countries are turning a page and try to be as environmentally friendly as possible, that is not the case with the developing countries that try to become developed. To put it simply, The forests that were destroyed in the UK several hundred years ago are not getting back, and the forests that were recently destroyed and still are getting destroyed in Indonesia will not just come back, at least not with the current trends.

In a spaceship far from the reaches of gravity, under what conditions could you feel as if the spaceship were station- ary on Ea
Sergio [31]

Answer:

constant acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2 against the weight of the person standing in spaceship.

Explanation:

- At earth surface we would feel a gravitational pull of g = 9.81 m/s^2 downwards.

- For anyone on spaceship to feel the same pull the spaceship needs to accelerate upwards at a constant acceleration of a = 9.81 m/s^2.

- The effect of "weightlessness" is removed such that the contact force between the person on the space-ship and the person him or herself is equal to the apparent weight of the person.

- If the spaceship accelerates constantly at 9.81 m/s^2,  the apparent weight of the person would equal the actual weight on earth.
