<span>A major characteristic of both volcanoes and earthquakes is that they are located in the same geographic area. Most earthquakes are along the edges of tectonic plates. This is where most volcanoes are too. Most earthquakes directly beneath a volcano are caused by the movement of magma.</span>
Answer:
magnitude of A − B = 15.81 km
Explanation:
Vector A points in the negative y-direction and has a magnitude of 5 km. Vector B points in the positive x-direction and has a magnitude of 15 km.
According to Cartesian coordinate system, the resultant will start either from tail of A and ends at head of B and vice-versa.
A(0,-5)
B(15,0)
A - B = (-15 i - 5 j )
Magnitude of the vector is given by
|A - B| = 
|A - B| = 
|A - B| = 15.81 km
Answer:
If a vertical line extending down from an object's CG extends outside its area of support, the object will topple
Explanation:
We can understand better this situation using a diagram with the forces acting on it.
In the attached image we can see that when the gravity center is bouncing outside from the area of the pedestal, the object will be out of balance and will fall.
