<h2>Answer: Nazca plate</h2>

Explanation:

The Nazca plate is an oceanic tectonic plate that is found in the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of South America, specifically in front of the north and central coast of Chile and the entire coastline of Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. This plate is in constant motion, which causes it to sink under the South American (phenomenon known as subduction).

It is mainly because of this subduction process that this region has a lot of seismic activity. Another important aspect is that thanks to these movements, the Andes mountain range and the Peruvian-Chilean fossa originated.

melisa1 [442]
1 Amp = 1 Coulomb/sec
1 Coulomb/sec = 6.25*10^18 electrons/sec

Therefore,
5.0 A = 5 C/s = 5*6.25*10^18 = 3.125*10^19 e/s

In 10 second, number of electrons are calculated as;
Number of electrons through the device = 3.125*10^19*10 = 3.125*10^20 electrons

Barney walks at a velocity of 1.7 meters/second on an inclined plane, which has an angle of 18.5° with the ground. What is the h
Viktor [21]
The velocities and the speed build a triangle, where the 1.7 m/s are the hypotenuse and the x-velocity and y-velocity are the other sides. 

<span>So the x-velocity is: speed*cos(angle) </span>

<span>now plug in </span>
<span>x=1.7 m/s * cos(18.5)=1.597 m/s </span>

The same wave travels for 2 seconds, what is its frequency?*
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

In waves distance is measured by wave length  and time is measured by frequency or period.

velocity ratio=wave length multiply by frequency.

HENCE, if the same wave travels for 2 econds its frequency will be 2Hz.
