Answer: c. rich in iron and magnesium

Explanation:

Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock that develops by the rapid cooling of the lava erupted after the volcanic eruption. This lava possibly consists of magnesium and iron which gets exposed to the terrestrial land. It is estimated that more than 90% of the rocks on the planet earth are basalt.

A rocket moves upward from rest with an acceleration of 40 m/s2 for 5 seconds. It then runs out of fuel and continues to move up
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Maximum height of rocket  = 2538.74 m

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

For first 5 seconds

          s = 0 x 5 + 0.5 x 40 x 5² = 500 m

Now let us find out time after 5 seconds rocket move upward.

We have the equation of motion v = u + at

After 5 seconds velocity of rocket

         v = 0 + 40 x 5 = 200 m/s

After 5 seconds the velocity reduces 9.8m/s per second due to gravity.

Time of flying after 5 seconds

          t=\frac{200}{9.81}=20.38s

Distance traveled in this 20.38 s

          s = 200 x 20.38 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 20.38² = 2038.74 m

Maximum height of rocket = 500 +2038.74 = 2538.74 m

1.- Se desea elevar un cuerpo de 1500kg utilizando una elevadora hidráulica de plato grande
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

181.48 N

Explanation:

Calculate the area :

Area = pi * r² ;

pi = 3.14 ; r1 = 90cm /100 = 0.9m ; r2 = 10/100 = 0.1m

Area 1, A1 = 3.14 * 0.1² = 0.0314 m²

Area 2, A2 = 3.14 * 0.9² = 2.5434 m²

Force, F = mass * acceleration due to gravity

F2 = 1500 * 9.8 = 14700 N

Force 1 / Area 1 = Force 2 / Area 2

Force 1 = (Force 2 / Area 2), * Area 1

Force 1 = (14700 / 2.5434) * 0.0314

Force = 5779.6650 * 0.0314

= 181.48 N

What type of plate boundary do most volcanoes occur along
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Subducting convergent boundary

Explanation:

Generally, volcanoes occurs in both divergent and convergent boundaries. But the convergent boundary it occurs is usually associated with subduction.

Divergent boundary, plates move away from each other creating a new crust in the process. The diverging plates creates the space for magma to be squeezed through cracks and fissures. The magma's erupt to form volcanoes. In the Atlantic ocean the spreading of the plates causes an upwelling of magma through the crest of the Atlantic ridges. New oceanic crust are formed through this process. Sometimes the magma eruption forms volcanoes  that are higher than the sea level.

Convergent boundary , plates collides with each other . But in the case of volcanoes existence , the collision should be between a denser  plate(oceanic plates) and a less dense plates(continental plates) so that subduction can take place. The subducted plates (oceanic plates)  creates trenches and get expose to high temperature and pressure as it sinks toward the mantle. The upper mantle rocks melts and migrate to the earth surface forming volcanoes . Over 75% of the volcanoes occur along the pacific basin where convergent boundary is dominant. Pacific ring of fire has one of the most number of volcanoes.
