After the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, geolophysicistHarry Fielding Reid examined the displacement of the ground surface along the San Andreas Fault. He concluded that the quake must have been the result of the elastic reboundof the strain energy in the rocks on either side of the fault.
strain energy is 0. 5x force x (compression) X (compression)
There is a lot of force and a bit of compression when rocks squash up against other rocks causing earthquakes
Answer:
=24.25 ^−1
Explanation:
Let and be initial and final velocity of the body respectively,
be acceleration due to gravity ( 9.8^−2 ), ℎ be the height of the body.
=0 ^ −1
ℎ=30
we know that, ^2−^ 2=2ℎ
^2=2∗9.8∗30
^2=588
=24.25 ^−1
Answer: d) the presence of solidified lava flows on the Moon
Explanation:
A geological activity means an occurrence of event such as volcanic eruption, earthquake, sedimentation, erosion etc. The revolution of the Moon around the Earth
, the axial tilt of the Moon or the phases of the Moon are not surface features. hence, these events cannot provide the evidence of geological activity in the past of Moon.
The surface features of moon such as Mares, Craters, mountains, Rays and rills are the proof of some geological activity on the Moon. Mares are the dark patches on the moon's surface formed of solidified lava. Due to negligible atmosphere on the moon, the meteors strike its surface and cause craters to form. Thus, the correct answer is d.
The measurement of the expansion of the universe was what gave rise to the big bang theory and it's predictions.
Ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
P = pressure, V = volume, n = # of moles, R = gas constant, T = temperature
Equipartition theorem:
Each degree of freedom that a molecule has adds 0.5kT to its total internal energy where k = Boltzmann's constant and T = temperature
2nd law of thermodynamics:
A set of governing principles that restrict the direction of net heat flow (always hot to cold, heat engines are never 100% efficient, entropy always tends to increase, etc)
Clearly the answer is Choice A
