Answer:

These places are present in the converging plate boundary of Pacific plate and Anglo American plate.

Explanation:

Pacific plate and North American plates are moving to each other and there is movement between plates caused the converging plate boundary. Pacific plate are denser so it beneath underthrust the massive Anglo American plate, these places are under the influence of subduction zone. Olympia Peninsula, Mt. Rainer, and the deep implosion earthquakes are present in Northwest of United States of America.

The Olympic Peninsula, Mount Rainier, and the deep 'implosion' earthquakes are all formed/produced as a result of the subduction zone that occurs in this part of the Earth. The Pacific tectonic plate and the North American tectonic plate collide, or rather the softer Pacific plate is subducting under the harder North American plate.

Strontium-147 cut into pieces what would be the half -life of each piece?

zalisa [80]

Answer:

2.62 years

Explanation:

The half life of a material is the time taken for half of the number of radioactive atoms in a radioactive material to remain.

If a radioactive material is cut into pieces, each piece has the same half life as the whole material.

Hence, if Strontium-147 is cut into pieces, each piece will have a half life of 2.62 years, just as the whole material.

What is a photon? O A vibrating electron. O A particle or packet of light. O A protostar. OA kind of spectrum.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

A particle or packet of light.

Explanation:

A photon essentially doesn't have a charge and thus can't be called an electron. So, option 1 is incorrect.

Photons are in fact packets of electromagnetic energy that light is made up of. So, option 2 is correct.

A photon is not a gaseous mass that indicates the preliminary stage in a star's growth and thus can't be a protostar. So, option 3 is incorrect.

Photons having different energies are constituents of the electromagnetic spectrum and thus a single photon can't be a spectrum. So, option 4 is incorrect.
