Answer:

A. The Pacific plate is being subducted under the North American plate.

Explanation:

The distribution of volcanoes among the northwest all the way up to Alaska is due to the crashing of two tectonic plates. In the northwest, one of the pacific plates, specifically the oceanic Farallon Plate is being subdued or pushed under the North American Plate. When this happens, rocks beneath the surface melt and become magma, which raises to the surface to build volcanoes.

Consider a venturi with a small hole drilled in the side of the throat. This hole is connected via a tube to a closed reservoir.

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Concept of effect:

The venturi vessel is simply implemented in the various procedures to obtain the increased value of velocity,v by constriction of the vessel's diameter or the total area required for the flow of liquids inside the vessel.And the decrease due to the constriction of the vessels area required for the flow of liquids.

But, we are provided we the given data in order to find the resultant value for the pressure,P inside the vessel.

Given data:

V=90 m/sec(the velocity,v at the inlet),

At=0.005,

V=90 m/sec,

∫∞=1.23 kg/m³,

V₁=√(P₁-P₂)/∫infinity[(area,A₁/final year,A)⁻¹],

Pressure,ΔP=1913.31 N/m².
