What could be a possible explanation why tectonic plates do not all move in the same direction

Physics
1 answer:
antiseptic1488 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

tectonic plates move in opposite direction

Tectonic plates are not necessarily moving in opposite directions, but if there directions are different they form plate boundaries. If they were moving in the same direction they would become the same plate. The more opposite the direction, the more obvious the fault.

Examples of plate boundaries:

Divergent: moving away from each other - mid-Atlantic ridge

Convergent: moving towards each other - the Himalayas (Indian plate subducting under the Eurasian plate forcing up the mountains)

Transform: sliding laterally along each other - San Andreas fault

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) The volume of blood flowing per second throughout the vessel is constant .

a₁ v₁ = a₂ v₂

a₁ and a₂ are cross sectional area at two places of vessel and v₁ and v₂ are velocity of blood at these places .

2A x v₁ = A x .40

v₁ = .20 m /s

b )

Let normal pressure be P₁ when cross sectional area is 2A and at cross sectional area A , pressure is P₂

Applying Bernoulli's theorem

P₁ + 1/2 ρv₁² = P₂ + 1/2 ρv₂²

P₁ - P₂ = 1/2  ρ(v₂² - v₁² )

= .5 x 1060 ( .4² - .2² )

= 63.6 Pa .

While it’s impossible to design a perpetual motion machine, that is, a machine that keeps moving forever, come up with ways to k
TEA [102]
It would be hard so many factors play a role in this angle kinetic potential energy gravity positioning height weight etc.to keep something as described moving as long as possible you'd have to build it heavily enough to balance out the momentum at each climax of the swing to balance with the gravitational pull of the earth core.I'd use a material such as copper for the variable.Also the weight distribution on the variables base plays a role.Take all the into account and experiment for a while!maybe one day you could find the right proportions in every role for kinetic potential gravitational momentum and weight to keep it going forever. As said alotta factors play a huge role in this experiment  <span />

What happens when there is a change in pressure at any point in a fluid
Hunter-Best [27]
A change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every point of the fluid and to the walls of the container. This is a statement of Pascal's Principle, which is the basis of the hydraulic jack you see lift cars at the garage.
