<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>

Wave power can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.

<h3>What can be the challenges of wave power?</h3>

Wave power is a device that can be used to convert the mechanical energy of the ocean waves into electrical energy based on the principle of conservation of energy.

The major challenges that face the use of wave power in electricity generation is the unreliability of the waves which leads to uncertainty in the quantity of power generated Also, the wave direction and direction of ocean currents all limit the amount of power generated by this method. However, in spite of challenges, it can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.

You drive a car 640 m to the east, then 340 m to the north what is the magnitude of your displacement
mixer [17]

Magnitude of displacement = \sqrt{640^2 + 340^2}

Adding the squares gives displacement = \sqrt{525,200}

Displacement =  \sqrt{525,200} ≈ 724.7m
