In some areas, farmers have installed windmills to generate electricity to run the farm. Some are generating a surplus of electr

icity and selling it back to the power company. The local power company burns fossil fuels, which pollute the environment, to generate electricity. Windmills do not pollute the environment. Evaluate the statements and choose the statement that best describes how the windmill technology benefits the environment.

The statement that best describes how the windmill technology benefits the environment is this: WINDMILLS DO NOT POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT.
Constructing a windmill involves harnessing the power of the wind to generate electricity. This type of electricity generation has no side  effects whatsoever. It is environmental friendly and does not pollute the environment.

What type of plate boundary do most volcanoes occur along
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Subducting convergent boundary

Explanation:

Generally, volcanoes occurs in both divergent and convergent boundaries. But the convergent boundary it occurs is usually associated with subduction.

Divergent boundary, plates move away from each other creating a new crust in the process. The diverging plates creates the space for magma to be squeezed through cracks and fissures. The magma's erupt to form volcanoes. In the Atlantic ocean the spreading of the plates causes an upwelling of magma through the crest of the Atlantic ridges. New oceanic crust are formed through this process. Sometimes the magma eruption forms volcanoes  that are higher than the sea level.

Convergent boundary , plates collides with each other . But in the case of volcanoes existence , the collision should be between a denser  plate(oceanic plates) and a less dense plates(continental plates) so that subduction can take place. The subducted plates (oceanic plates)  creates trenches and get expose to high temperature and pressure as it sinks toward the mantle. The upper mantle rocks melts and migrate to the earth surface forming volcanoes . Over 75% of the volcanoes occur along the pacific basin where convergent boundary is dominant. Pacific ring of fire has one of the most number of volcanoes.

If santa slides 5.00 m before reaching the edge, what is his speed as he leaves the roof?
AveGali [126]

Even with no friction, it depends on the slope of the roof. That is, it depends on how much elevation (altitude) he loses during the slide.

Whatever that number is ... call it 'h' ... Santa's speed when he reaches the edge is

Square root of (19.6h) meters per second.

It doesn't matter how much he weighs, or how far he has slud. Only how much altitude he lost on the slope while sliding.

Gravity is a non contact force , jump from a little high place (don't do that :P) , you wont just get stuck in the air you will fall down , this is gravity you dont need any contact
