Im pretty sure they can form mountains and volcanoes. (ie fold mountains happen when plates converge)

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

can form mountains and volcanoes.

Convergent faults <u>can form mountains and volcanoes</u>.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Convergent plates boundary are created when two tectonic plates collide such that one of the converging plates will move beneath the other forming a subduction zone. The process is called subduction.
  • <u>Convergent faults happen when plates move toward one another , and can form volcanoes  and also create mountains.</u>
  • At convergent plate boundaries where two plates move toward each other a compressive stress takes place

What is the direction of friction if a ball is rolling on the ground?
morpeh [17]
The direction is the same as the direction the ball is moving in. Because of the rolling of the ball, the direction of movement of the surface of the ball is opposite the overall direction of the ball. Since friction will oppose the direction of movement of the surface of the ball, it is in the same direction as the net direction of movement of the ball.

A. How many calories are needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 °C?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

A) 1 cal

B) 80 cal

C) 540 cal

Explanation:

A)

The amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of a certain mass of a substance is given by

Q=mC\Delta T

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is the specific heat capacity

\Delta T is the change in temperature

In this problem:

m = 1 g is the mass of water

C=1 cal/g^{\circ}C is  the specific heat capacity of water

\Delta T=1^{\circ}C is the change in temperature

So, the heat needed is

Q=(1)(1)(1)=1 cal

B)

For a solid substance at its melting point, the amount of heat needed to melt completely the substance is given by

Q=m\lambda_f

where

m is the mass of the substance

\lambda_f is the specific latent heat of fusion of the substance

In this problem:

- The ice is already at melting point, 0 °C

- Mass of the ice: m=1g

- Specific latent heat of fusion of ice: \lambda_f=80 cal/g

So, the heat needed is

Q=(1)(80)=80 cal

C)

For a liquid substance at its boiling point, the amount of heat needed to boil completely the substance is given by

Q=m\lambda_v

where

m is the mass of the substance

\lambda_v is the specific latent heat of vaporization of the substance

In this problem:

- The water is already at boiling point, 100 °C

- Mass of the water: m=1g

- Specific latent heat of vaporization of water: \lambda_v=540 cal/g

So, the heat needed is

Q=(1)(540)=540 cal

7. Copper can be coated on the surface of iron but not on silver? why​
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Silver has greater electronegativity (pull on electrons) than copper, so it will be reduced rather than oxidized. Silver ions will plate out on copper metal. Sir the coating of iron with copper surface can be referred as IRON-COPPER PLATING.

Explanation:

Iron is used for the electroplating of so copper because iron falls above copper in the electrochemical series whereas silver will fall off below the copper in electrochemical series that makes it not reliable for the electroplating purpose

The frequency of electromagnetic energy traveling through a medium can change if any of the following change EXCEPT: Select one:
agasfer [191]

Answer:

b. amplitude

Explanation:

An electromagnetic waveconsists of electrical oscillations and magnetic fields. The frequency of the wave is directly proportional to its energy and its speed and inversely proportional to its wavelength. Therefore, with the only magnitude with which it has no relation is with its amplitude.
