The external crust of the Earth consists of a series of tectonic plates moving on the planet's surface. Often volcanoes are created in regions where the plates come together. Volcanoes also can grow in the middle of a rock, which is named "Hot Spot," where the magma rises up until it bursts on the sea floor. A hot spot in the center of the Pacifical Rock is created on the Hawaiians Islands. The plate shifts, while the hot spot remains set. So the chain of the islands that comprise the Hawaiian Island chain was formed when this plate moved over the hot spot.

hope it helps! <3

Consider these three squares, 25,144 and 169 . Can a right triangle be formed using these squares
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Yes, if we take the square roots of 25, 144 and 169 (5, 12, 13)

Not by using those measures as is (sides of a triangle with 25, 144 and 169).

Explanation:

A right triangle is a triangle with an angle of 90 degrees, and the side facing that angle of 90 degrees is called an hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse measurement squared is equal to the squared measurements of the other two sides:

c² = a² + b²

And those squares do verify the equation:

169 = 144 + 25

So, that's a rectangle (right) triangle, with sides measuring 5, 12 and 13.
