Answer:

a. negative

b. zero

Explanation:

work is the change in the energy of a system due to external forces

work is done when a force moves a load through a distance in the direction of the force

The work done by a force on a  system is positive when the force  and the force displacement point  in the same direction and negative  when they point in opposite  directions

in the scenario we are considering in the question, the force (the hand) moves the block vertically upwards but the displacement of the block reduces (in the opposite direction) since it decelerates. as such the work done by gravity on the block is negative.

the work done on the block is zero if the system consists of the block and the earth because there is no gravitational force exerted on the system

Which type of plate boundary or zone would be most likely to lead to above-ground volcanic activity?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Convergent plate boundary

Explanation:

The convergent plate boundary refers to the type of boundary where two plates move towards each other. Due to this type of motion, there forms a subduction zone, where the denser plate subducts below the lighter plate. This zone of subduction is commonly identified by the presence of a deep and narrow V-shaped depression which is commonly known as the oceanic trench.

When the subducting plate enters into the region of the asthenosphere, the rocks melt and mix with the magma. This magma is then pushed upward due to the force exerted by the convection current that forms in the mantle, and further reaches the over-riding plate and eventually give rise to the formation of volcanoes and volcanic/island arcs.

Thus, this type of plate boundary is responsible for the formation of above-ground volcanic activities.
