I believe the answer is D.

Some people might believe the answer is B, but that is wrong because intraplate earthquakes can occur (even though they are rarer).

Also, only on a few occasions can a rock be deformed by force, but it is possible.

a wave in the ocean has an amplitude of 3m. Winds pick up suddenly, increasing the wave's amplitude to 6m. How does this change
Paha777 [63]

Answer

Hi,

An increase in amplitude from 3m to 6 m increases the energy it transports. The frequency of the wave is not affected

Explanation

Amplitude is the height of a wave where as frequency is the number of waves that pass by each second. A wave with bigger amplitude has more energy than a wave with smaller amplitude. A point where more waves pass contains more energy that is transferred every second. The change in the amplitude of a wave does not change its frequency. However, frequency is inversely related to the wavelength of a wave.

Best Wishes!

As 390 g of hot milk cools in a mug it transfers 30 000 j of heat to the environment. whats is the temperature change of the mil
Fed [463]
You have to use the specific heat equation. 

Q = cmΔT where Q is the energy, c is specific heat, m is mass, and ΔT is change in temp.

So we can substitute our variables into the equation.

30000J = (390g)(3.9J*g/C)ΔT

Solving for ΔT, we get:

30000J/[(390g)*(3.9J*g/C) = ΔT

ΔT = 19.72386588C

I'm assuming the temperature is C, since it was not specified.

Hope this helps!

A 1-kg iron frying pan is placed on a stove. The pan increases from 20°C to 250°C. If the same amount of heat is added to a pan
Nesterboy [21]

Answer;

The temperature change for the second pan will be lower compared to the temperature change of the first pan

Explanation;

-The quantity of heat is given by multiplying mass by specific heat and by temperature change.

That is; Q = mcΔT

This means; the quantity of heat depends on the mass, specific heat capacity of a substance and also the change in temperature.

-Maintaining the same quantity of heat, with another pan of the same mass and greater specific heat capacity would mean that the change in temperature would be much less lower.
