If you wanted to live where the chances of a destructive earthquake were small, would you pick a location near a fault zone, nea

r a mid ocean ridge, near a subduction zone, or on a volcanic island such as Hawaii? What are the relative risks of earthquakes at each of these locations?

Answer: A volcanic island arc like Hawaii.

Explanation: The Hawaiian island is the most safest place for the people to live in comparison to the other given options.

The plate tectonic movement generates energy due to collision, resulting in sudden release of energy, and seismic waves are produced that propagates and causes earthquake.

Due to the constant collision between the plates, different places at different time experiences earthquake. Near a fault region, earthquakes are very severe, and also near the mid oceanic ridge it is not possible for a person to live. The subduction zones are the region where a denser plate subducts beneath the other, and its impossible for life to exist there.

Thus the most safest place out of all the option is the volcanic islands where numerous people resides. for example, the Hawaiian and Stromboli.

Current flowing in a circuit depends on two variables. Identify these variables and their relationship to current.
joja [24]

Question is Incomplete, Complete question is given below.

Current flowing in a circuit depends on two variables. Identify these variables and their relationship to current.

A) Current is proportionate to the conductance of the circuit and precisely proportional to the voltage applied across the circuit.

B) Current is conversely proportional to the electrical tension of the circuit and corresponds to the resistance across the circuit.

C) Current is inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit and directly proportional to the voltage applied across the circuit.

D) Current is commensurate to the resistance of the circuit and directly proportional to the electric pressure applied across the circuit.

Answer:

C) Current is inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit and directly proportional to the voltage applied across the circuit.

Explanation:

Now Ohms Law states that, "So long as a physical state of a conductor remains the potential difference applied to the conductor is directly proportional to current flowing through it."

I ∝ V

V=IR also I=V/R

where R is the Resistance

Hence, From above equation we can say that Current increases when there is increase in Voltage but Current decreases as the resistance decreases.

Hence,Current is inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit and directly proportional to the voltage applied across the circuit.

Suppose a car is traveling at +25.0 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.340 s has elapsed (the reaction t
scoundrel [369]
First, we will get the distance traveled before the driver applied the brakes.
distance = velocity * time
distance = 25*0.34 = 8.5 m

Now, we will calculated the distance that the car traveled after the driver applied the brakes. To do this, we will use the equation of motion:
<span>vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d where:
</span>vf = zero, vi = 25 m/s and a = -7 m/s^2
Note: The negative sign is only to show deceleration 
d = <span> 1/2*(625) /(7) = 44.6428 m

The total stopping distance =</span> 8.5 + 44.6428 = 53.1428 m

Explain why the extrapolated temperature is used to determine the maximun temperature of the mixture rather than the highest rec
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
The extrapolated temperature is used to define the maximum temperature of the mixture relatively than the highest recorded temperature in which the conclusion will effect in a higher specific heat value. Heat is bound to escape from whatever apparatus is using, therefore it is needed to account for the loss of the heat that does not go into increasing the temperature of the mixture.
