<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Plate tectonics theory

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • According to the plate tectonics theory, the plates making the earth float on the partially molten mantle, moving away from the mid ocean ridges at varying speeds. <em><u>At a point where the plates pull apart, slide or collide, a tectonic activity will be manifested as earthquakes. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Earthquakes </u></em><em><u>take place when the plate boundaries get stuck together while the plates keep moving. </u></em><em><u>Volcanoes </u></em><em><u>on the other hand take place when plates crash into or pull away from each other and hot magma from below rises up to the surface in an eruption.</u></em>

I think the answer is plate tectonics theory because when the are moving, they sometimes hit each other and it makes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

But i'm not sure

Assuming the average rate of heat energy flowing outwards from earth to be 0.063 W/m2 calculate the energy available at a hot sp
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

"13.48 Kwhr" is the right solution.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Average rate of heat energy,

= 0.063 W/m²

Diameter,

= 8m

Efficiency of conversion,

= 50%

Now,

The area of hotspot will be:

⇒  A=\frac{\pi}{4} d^2

On substituting the values, we get

⇒      =\frac{3.14}{4} (8)^2

⇒      =0.785\times 64

⇒      =50.24 \ m^2

Total heat generation rate will be:

⇒  Q=q\times A

        =0.063\times 50.24

        =3.16 \ W

hence,

The electricity generation capacity will be:

⇒  P=\eta Q t

On substituting the values, we get

⇒      =0.5\times 3.16\times 8760

⇒      =13840.8 \ Whr

On converting into Kwhr, we get

⇒      =13.84 \ Kwhr

Natali [406]

Answer:

the new volume =93,750 Liters

Explanation:

From Boyles law

P1V1 = P2V2

1.2 X 125000 = 1.6 X V2

V2 = 93,750 Liters
