In the theory of plate tectonics, various segments of Earths crust, called plates, move toward and away from each other. In one

instance, the plate that consists of the Indian subcontinent drifted from southeastern Africe to its current position in asia, traveling at a speed of 15cm/y. This plate collided with Asia, forming the Himalayan mountain range in the process. Most of this formation occurred during the last 1.00 x 10^7 years, during which time the indian subcontinents motion has slowed to about 5 cm/y. What has been the acceleration in units of cm/y^2, of the indian subcontinent during this time period.

Answer:

-1.00 × 10⁻⁶ cm/y²

Explanation:

Using a = (v - u)/t where a = acceleration of the indian subcontinent, v = final speed of the indian subcontinent = 5 cm/y, u = initial speed of the indian subcontinent = 15 cm/y, and t = time of motion of the indian subcontinent = 1.00 × 10⁷ years.

Substituting the values of the variables, we find the acceleration of the indian subcontinent, a  = (v - u)/t = (5 cm/y - 15 cm/y)/1.00 × 10⁷ years = -10 cm/y ÷ 1.00 × 10⁷ years = -1.00 × 10⁻⁶ cm/y²

Airida [17]

Answer:

Dry-strength additives, or dry-strengthening agents, are chemicals that improve paper strength normal conditions. These improve the paper's compression strength, bursting strength, tensile breaking strength, and delamination resistance. Typical chemicals used include cationic starch and polyacrylamide derivatives.

Part 1: Use complete sentences to explain why solar winds occur. Part 2: Give two examples in which solar winds impact Earth.
Troyanec [42]

Part 1

When the solar atmosphere accumulates a lot of magnetic energy to a point that cannot accumulate more, all that magnetic energy is suddenly released, and with it, a lot of radiation. So much, that in fact it covers all of the electromagnetic spectrum; from radio waves to gamma rays. That burst of radiation is called a solar flare. In a single solar flare the amount of radiation released is millions of times greater than all the nuclear bombs in the face if the earth exploding together. Lucky for us, most of the high-energy radiation dissipates before reaching the Earth, and the radiation that do reach us, is deflected by the Earth’s magnetic field.

Part 2

1.  Not all the radiation of solar flares that reach the Earth is deflected by its magnetic field; some of them reach us and charges the upper atmosphere with ionized particles. Those particles react with the gases in the atmosphere and produce a light; that light is what we call Auroras borealis or southern nights; One the most beautiful natural spectacles in earth, who thought Auroras begin their lives as deadly solar flares.

2.  Solar flares contain a lot of high-energy radiation that is extremely dangerous for our electronic devices; when they reach the Earth, they can damage sensible electronics like satellites. A very powerful solar flare could even damage all the electronic devices on the surface of the Earth.
