If the seafloor is spreading why isn't earth getting bigger?

Physics

Well there are areas of the seafloor that are spreading due to tectonic plates moving apart but there are also places where these plates meet and one slides under the other (subduction zones) as a result, the earth is not getting bigger since these two actions cancel each other out.<span>

Which type of material would be best to use for construction in an area prone to earthquakes? concrete brick wood stone
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Wood

Explanation:

Buildings made by brick or concrete have low ductility. And due to low ductility they absorb very less energy. This makes them not so good material for area prone to earthquakes. While Wood or steel reinforced concrete would be more suitable for area prone to earthquakes as they have increased ductility.

Two long, straight wires, one above the other, are separated by a distance 2a and are parallel to the x-axis. Let the be in the
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

field B = µ₀c I / 2πr

The field in the xy plane due to the fact that the two wires are perpendicular to the plane Bx and By are everywhere 0 on the plane.

a) Midway between, the Bz components cancel, so <0, 0, 0> T

b) Bz = µ₀ x I / 2πa + µ₀ x I / 2π(3a) = (µ₀ x I / 2π)(1/a + 1/3a)

Bz = (µ₀ x I / 2πr)(3/3a + 1/3a) = (µ₀x I / 2πr)(4 / 3a) = 2µ₀ x I / 3πa

c) By symmetry, Bz = -2µ₀ x I / 3πa (that is, down into the plane)

You are leaving for a party at your cousin’s house in a city that is 150 km away. You will travel at an average rate of 50 km/hr
mrs_skeptik [129]

The distance you should cover is: S=150 km

Your average speed is: v=50 km/h

Therefore, to calculate the time you will take to cover this distance, we can use the basic relationship between space, distance and time, and we find:

t=\frac{S}{v}=\frac{150 km}{50 km/h}=3 h

so, you will take 3 hours.

How strong is the electric field between two parallel plates 5.8 mm apart if the potential difference between them is 200 V?
crimeas [40]

Answer: Electric field is given as

E = V/d

E = 220 v / 0.0056m

E = 39285.71 v/m

Or

E = 39285.71 N/C

Explanation: Therefore electric field is 39285.71 V/m
