If you're going to ask a question, at least provide the steps or possible answers that you are provided with so that others can help you. Luckily, I know the exact question you are trying to solve. 
The order the steps go in is:
 <span> The oceanic plate would subduct under the continental plate into the asthenosphere. 
From the intense heat and pressure within the mantle, the crust of the oceanic plate would mix with the rock of the mantle. 
Mantle convection would cause magma to rise up through divergent boundaries.</span>

Answer: The entire process is mentioned in  step-wise below-

  1. Firstly, two plates moves opposite to each other, due to this the crust gradually become thin and subsequently rises up.
  2. On continuous thinning of the crust, at one point, the magma will come out to the surface producing a small rift.
  3. Rifting continuously takes place and results in a rift valley,and slowly after millions of years will form an ocean.
  4. Then, the two diverging plate will collide with another oceanic or continental plate, in which the more denser oceanic crust will get subducted beneath the less denser one.
  5. This suducted plate, at much greater depth undergoes partial melting and slowly makes its way up to the crust.
  6. This magma on further pushing towards the surface, initiates sea floor spreading, thus repeating the entire cycle.

At what speed, as a fraction of c , is a particle's total energy twice its rest energy
WINSTONCH [101]
The rest energy of a particle is
E_0=m_0 c^2
where m_0 is the rest mass of the particle and c is the speed of light.

The total energy of a relativistic particle is
E=mc^2 =  \frac{m_0 c^2}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }
where v is the speed of the particle.

We want the total energy of the particle to be twice its rest energy, so that
E=2E_0
which means:
\frac{m_0c^2}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }=2m_0 c^2
\frac{1}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }=2
From which we find the ratio between the speed of the particle v and the speed of light c:
\frac{v}{c}=  \sqrt{1- (\frac{1}{2})^2 }  =0.87
So, the particle should travel at 0.87c in order to have its total energy equal to twice its rest energy.

Using the scientific definition of work, does moving an object a greater amount of distance always require a greater amount of w
tester [92]
The answer is no. If you are dealing with a conservative force and the object begins and ends at the same potential then the work is zero, regardless of the distance travelled. This can be shown using the work-energy theorem which states that the work done by a force is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object.
W=KEf−KEi
An example of this would be a mass moving on a frictionless curved track under the force of gravity.
The work done by the force of gravity in moving the objects in both case A and B is the same (=0, since the object begins and ends with zero velocity) but the object travels a much greater distance in case B, even though the force is constant in both cases.
