The correct answer is:

c. convection.

The heating of magma and the continuous cycle of evolution of the magma creating a convection current is the reason for the evolution of Earths tectonic plates.

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are ready to move because the Earth's lithosphere has higher strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density changes in the mantle appear in convection. Plate movement is believed to be driven by a succession of the motion of the seafloor apart from the extended ridge (due to variations in topography and density of the crust.

Compare the energy consumption of two commonly used items in the household. Calculate the energy used by a 1.40 kW toaster oven,

Nikolay [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Power consumed by toaster oven, $P=1.4\ kW$

Time taken, t = 6 minutes = 0.1 hour

Energy used by toaster, $W_{toaster}=P\times t$

$W_{toaster}=1.4\ kW\times 0.1\ h=0.14\ kWh$

Similarly,

Power consumed by toaster oven, $P=11\ W$

Time taken, t = 9 minutes = 0.15 hour

Energy used by toaster, $W_{toaster}=P\times t$

$W_{toaster}=11\ W\times 0.15\ h=1.65\ Wh=0.0016\ kWh$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Given the wave function: Y(x,t) = 5sin27(0.2x - 3t); (x = meters, t = sec.): What are the amplitude, frequency, wavelength, angu

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Explanation:

Y = 5 Sin27( .2x-3t)

= 5 Sin(5.4x - 81 t )

Amplitude = 5 m

Angular frequency ω = 81

frequency = ω / 2π

= 81 / (2 x 3.14 )

=12.89

Wave length λ = 2π / k ,

k = 5.4

λ = 2π / 5.4

= 1.163 m

Phase velocity =ω / k

= 81 / 5.4

15 m / s.

The wave is travelling in + ve x - direction.
