How do volcanoes above hot spots differ from volcanoes above subduction zones?

Physics

Option (C)

Explanation:

The magma in the hot-spot region are basaltic, they can move fast because of their low viscosity. Whereas, the magma present in the subduction zone are rhyolitic, and moves slowly due to its high viscosity. Viscosity of a magma is directly proportional to its silica content.

This is the difference between the volcanoes over a hot-spot region and over subduction zone.

Answer: Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Based on its type of chemical bond, which of the following has the highest boiling point?
Sever21 [200]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Potassium chloride

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Potassium Chloride is an ionic compound and has ionic bond which is stronger than covalent bond in ethyl alcohol,water ,ammonia, and thus has the highest boiling point .
  • ionic bond is a type of bond that results from the transfer of electrons between metallic atoms and non-metallic atoms.

You rapidly swirl a mixture of substances with different densities
borishaifa [10]
Having different densities being swirled rapidly will cause sedimentation. Sedimentation is the segmentation of the mixture creating layers of particles of these different densities. The process of rapid swirling is called differential centrifugation. An example use of this method is separation human blood into, red, platelet and white blood cells.

If you went to a planet that had the twice the radius as Earth, but the same mass, a 1 kg pineapple would have a weight of
kicyunya [14]

Use the law of universal gravitation, which says the force of gravitation between two bodies of mass <em>m</em>₁ and <em>m</em>₂ a distance <em>r</em> apart is

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

where <em>G</em> = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².

The Earth has a radius of about 6371 km = 6.371 x 10⁶ m (large enough for a pineapple on the surface of the earth to have an effective distance from the center of the Earth to be equal to this radius), and a mass of about 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg, so the force of gravitation between the pineapple and the Earth is

<em>F</em> = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²) (1 kg) (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg) / (6.371 x 10⁶ m)²

<em>F</em> ≈ 9.81 N

Notice that this is roughly equal to the weight of the pineapple on Earth, (1 kg)<em>g</em>, where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, so that [force of gravity] = [weight] on any given planet.

This means that on this new planet with twice the radius of Earth, the pineapple would have a weight of

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / (2<em>r</em>)² = 1/4 <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

i.e. 1/4 of the weight on Earth, which would be about 2.45 N.
