Marina has been onboard the research vessel Gustavo, off the coast of Chile, for several weeks now. She is measuring the depth o

f a very deep trench in the ocean that runs parallel to the coastline. In the distance, she notes a great mountain range on the mainland. Suddenly, she is notified that a submarine earthquake just occurred below the trench, generating a tsunami. As Marina puts on her lifejacket, she recalls the type of plate boundary nearby that led to the trench formation. Based on the description given, what type of plate boundary is near the area Marina has been studying? rift valley transform divergent convergent

Answer:

convergent

Explanation:

Convergent limits are the type of boundary defined by the movement of the plates in the direction of approach, that is, when two tectonic plates move in a convergent direction, colliding between them frontally. In these cases, the dense plate dips under the lightest one, being incorporated into the warm material and fluid of the mantle.

A tsunami can be generated when the boundaries of converging tectonic plates move. For this reason, we can conclude that the type of board boundary that is close to the area that Marina has been studying is a convergent limite.

Mariulka [41]

Answer: a= 4.4ms-2

Displacement= 26.95 m

Explanation:

First, the speed in km/hr must be converted to m/s so that we can apply it in solving the question. The motion started from rest hence the initial velocity is 0m/s. The average displacement is also obtained from the equations of motion as shown in the image attached.

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Velocidad final, V = 8 m/s

Explanation:

Dados los siguientes datos;

Velocidad inicial, u = 4 m/s

Aceleración, a = 2 m/s²

Tiempo, t = 2 segundos

Para encontrar la velocidad final (v), usaríamos la primera ecuación de movimiento;

V = u + at

Sustituyendo en la fórmula, tenemos;

V = 4 + 2*2

V = 4 + 4

Velocidad final, V = 8 m/s

Demonstrate that plants use photosynthesis to grow throughout their lives
gavmur [86]
By definition, photosynthesis is the process made by green plants, algae and some other forms of bacteria to make their own food by converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

So how important is photosynthesis to plants? It is as important as how humans need food in order to survive. Plants also need food and energy to survive and grow. 

Not only food is the important matter to be addressed when it comes to photosynthesis. It is also important for plants' cellular respiration. These processes are constantly made by plants throughout their entire life.
