From convection of magma under the earths crust makes the plates slowly move and as they move over time they build up potential energy from the different plates grinding against each other and after so long the plates will lose there grip on each other and release the potential energy they've been building up for so long as kinetic energy causing what you know as an earthquake hope this helps please give brainliest

Arrange the steps in order to explain how a tornado forms.
Sergio [31]

Answer

The steps in order to explain how a tornado forms are;

1. An extreme difference in wind speed at two elevations causes the wind shear

2. The difference in wind speed causes a column of air to rotate horizontally

3. A strong updraft connects the rotating air with clouds above

4. The column of air stretches to form a tornado

Explanation

The typical steps of tornado formation follow the below steps;

• Occurrence of a large thunderstorm which happens in the cumulonimbus clouds

• There is a change in wind direction and speed at higher attitudes that makes the air to swirl horizontally

• Air rising from the ground pushes up on the swirling air and tips over it

• The swirling air funnel starts to suck up more warm air from the ground

• The funnel enlarges and stretches towards the ground

• The funnel touches the ground level to form a tornado

A softball is thrown perfectly vertically (straight-up) at 18 m/s.
inessss [21]

Answer:

a) y = 16.51 [m]

b) t = 1.83 [s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use two kinematics equations, the first to determine the height to which the ball reaches, and the second equation to determine how long it lasts in the air.

v_{f} ^{2}= v_{i} ^{2} - (2*g*t)\\

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vi = initial velocity = 18 [m/s]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81[m/s^2]

t = time [s]

Note: the negative sign of the Equation indicates that the acceleration of gravity acts in the opposite direction to the movement of the ball.  The final velocity is zero, since the ball reaches its maximum altitude when the velocity is zero.

Now replacing:

0 = (18)^2 - (2*9.81*y)

y = 16.51 [m]

b)

v_{f} = v_{i} - (g*t)

0 = 18 - (9.81*t)

t = 1.83 [s]
