Volcanism on Earth is always associated with plate tectonic activity.

Physics
1 answer:
hjlf3 years ago
7 0

Volcanism is associated with two of the plate boundary types: divergent and convergent margins. ... Volcanism can also occur at intraplate volcanoes. These volcanoes are believed to have sources deeper down in the Earth's mantle that remain in a relatively fixed location relative to the always migrating plate boundaries.

A ball is dropped from the top of the building.it initially moves at 4.0 m/s after 0.5 seconds it moves at 3.8m/s what force is
Ivahew [28]

The correct answer is

Air resistance

In fact, when a ball is in free fall, there are two forces acting on it:

- its weight (force of gravity), acting downward

- the air resistance, acting upward

The effect of the weight is to accelerate the ball, because its direction is the same as the direction of motion of the ball, while the effect of the air resistance is to slow down the ball, because its direction is opposite to that of the motion.

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The Sun and planets are shown to the same scale. The small terrestrial planets and tiny Pluto are in the box---the Earth is the blue dot near the center of the box (montage created by Nick Strobel using NASA images).

Size

The Sun is by far the biggest thing in the solar system. From its angular size of about 0.5° and its distance of almost 150 million kilometers, its diameter is determined to be 1,392,000 kilometers. This is equal to 109 Earth diameters and almost 10 times the size of the largest planet, Jupiter. All of the planets orbit the Sun because of its enormous gravity. It has about 333,000 times the Earth's mass and is over 1,000 times as massive as Jupiter. It has so much mass that it is able to produce its own light. This feature is what distinguishes stars from planets.

Composition

What is the Sun made of? Spectroscopy shows that hydrogen makes up about 94% of the solar material, helium makes up about 6% of the Sun, and all the other elements make up just 0.13% (with oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen the three most abundant ``metals''---they make up 0.11%). In astronomy, any atom heavier than helium is called a ``metal'' atom. The Sun also has traces of neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, and iron. The percentages quoted here are by the relative number of atoms. If you use the percentage by mass, you find that hydrogen makes up 78.5% of the Sun's mass, helium 19.7%, oxygen 0.86%, carbon 0.4%, iron 0.14%, and the other elements are 0.54%.
