Yes. With converging plates, where two plates are touching towards each other instigating one to sub duct beneath the other, you incline to have volcanoes and earthquakes. Instance: In Asia, the Pacific Plate touching to and beneath the Eurasian Plate. Another example of where you would have earthquakes is where two plates are slipping in contrary directions parallel to one another. This is an instance of the Pacific Plate touching next to the North American Plate. This makes faults or crashes in the plates instigating earthquakes. As the plate slip past each other, subsequently separately plate boundary isn't flawlessly smooth, they catch on one another and accumulate pressure. When the pressure is free, the energy is gave out as an earthquake.

Answer:

C)T

Explanation:

The period of a mass-spring system is:

$T=2\pi\sqrt\frac{m}{k}$

As can be seen, the period of this simple harmonic motion, does not depend at all on the gravitational acceleration (g), neither the mass nor the spring constant depends on this value.

Jet001 [13]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Magnetic Force, this is given by the product between the current, the body length, the magnetic field and the angle between the force and the magnetic field, mathematically that is,

$F = ILBsin \theta$
