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.

If the volume of a sample of gas is reduced at constant temperature, the average velocity of the molecules _______, the average
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the volume of a sample of gas is reduced at constant temperature, the average velocity of the molecules increases, the average force of an individual collision increases, and the average number of collisions with the wall, per unit area, per second increases.

As volume is reduced, the gas molecules come closer together, which increases the number of collisions between them and their collisions with the container walls. Also, since the distance traveled by each molecule between successive collision decreases, the molecule velocity doesn't decrease much within collisions as a result of which, the average velocity is higher compared to when the gas is stored in a larger volume. Finally, due to constant collisions, the direction of molecule travel changes rapidly owing to which the acceleration of molecules increases.

A 44.0 kg uniform rod 4.90 m long is attached to a wall with a hinge at one end. The rod is held in a horizontal position by a w
pychu [463]

Answer:

x ≤ 3.6913 m

Explanation:

Given

Mrod = 44.0 kg

L = 4.90 m

Tmax = 1450 N

Mman = 69 kg

A: left end of the rod

B: right end of the rod

x = distance from the left end to the man

If we take torques around the left end as follows

∑τ = 0   ⇒   - Wrod*(L/2) - Wman*x + T*Sin 30º*L = 0

⇒   - (Mrod*g)*(L/2) - (Mman*g)*x + Tmax*Sin 30º*L = 0

⇒  -  (44*9.8)*(4.9/2) - (69*9.8)*x + (1450)*(0.5)*(4.9) = 0

⇒ x ≤ 3.6913 m
