6 0

Answer:

a) Gravity pulling the older and denser lithosphere downward.

Explanation:

Earth's crust is made of plates which float on mantle . Plates are of two types

1 ) oceanic plates which are older and heavier 2 ) continental plates which are lighter . Continents are situated on continental plates. Due to relative motion , oceanic plate, because of its  heavy weight,  goes under lighter continental plate . This is called subduction.

What is its maximum altitude above the ground? The answer is the maximum height above the ground
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Maximum altitude above the ground = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion

u = initial velocity of the projectile = 5.5 km/s = 5500 m/s

v = final velocity of the projectile at maximum height reached = 0 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = (GM/R²) (from the gravitational law)

g = (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ × 5.97 × 10²⁴)/(6370000²)

g = -9.82 m/s² (minus because of the direction in which it is directed)

y = vertical distance covered by the projectile = ?

v² = u² + 2gy

0² = 5500² + 2(-9.82)(y)

19.64y = 5500²

y = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

Hope this Helps!!!
