<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>

The potential energy of the block is A) 490 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field.

It is calculated as follows:

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object above the ground

For the block in this problem, we have:

m = 10 kg

g=9.8 m/s^2

h = 5 m

Therefore, its potential energy is:

PE=(10)(9.8)(5)=490 J
